A day doesn't go by that I'm not turning a thought to some kernel in Andor. It's been a while since a piece of fiction has seemed to resonate so clearly with so many.

This scene gets more and more relevant the further we get into this term.

Seeing lots of folks share this, it's a great, balanced look at our expectations on BEV battery life that does a great job of addressing many of the recent proprietary studies.

Love it!

And while on the topic, they asked if they should expect the current Kia Sportage HEV incentives to carry through, and I recommended checking HMG U.S. production as that's as close as we get to a crystal ball and realized most don't know how, so here's a fun chart of HMG's U.S. priorities.

Had an interesting chat with a buddy deliberating between PHEV and HEV.

"PHEV gets better fuel economy and power even when the battery is depleted" - he mentioned

'Where did you hear that?!' - I asked, it's literally inverse of true

"A.I."

Folks, LLM's are not accurate or unbiased.

Quite inspiring the amount of folks responding to 50% European price surge with stories of 🏡 ☀️ and 🔋 🚗!

So many of us did it for the planet, and health of our neighbors - especially kiddos, and sure, lower TCO, but not being impacted by instability price surges is great too.

Generational’s study is great too!

Many are less retentive than during the federal credits, and lightly used are even smarter.

super joints for 7 hours!

I'm very familiar with Europe Ford's "just sell everyone rebadged VW and Renaults" business model.

My point continues to be, after Farley took over, they've not engineered anything competitive, just desirably asked German, French, and Chinese manufacturers to let them rebadge their stuff.

I mean, we're charging EV Semis all the time with over 1,000 kW without any issues 🤷🏽‍♂️

*nods in approval with index fingers steeped*

They're absolutely killing it! From zero cars on sale to 2 globally leading models in 2 years AND a rad Vision GT entry in the Gran Turismo stable?

What... ahh... What are Ford and GM even doing?

Right? Imagine the U.S. market without the GM/Ford competition killing lobbying baggage and the poorly staffed EV blog Tesla-Stanning.

Looks to Europe.

Oh, that's rad. I want that, yesterday.

Wild to see Farley grinning like an idiot with Trump when he lowered fuel economy standards with Ford providing *nothing* in this space and Kia and Hyundai nailing it with these ~35 MPG options.

They're heeeeerrrreeeee. The U.S. made, Telluride Hybrids have landed.

For those who still need some prodding on the BEV, and 3-Rows for whatever reason, this joins the massively successful Hyundai Palisade Hybrid at the top of the class when it comes to best all around 3-Row hybrids.

Tesla’s Sales Crash For The 13th Straight Month As Its Scariest Rival Cleaned Up | Carscoops BYD’s European sales jumped 165 percent in January while Tesla’s slid 17 percent

Most definitely not. Car buyers have given up Tesla, why can't the thedriven?

Tesla -17%
BYD +165%

Oh, totally, I can't pay cash for this but I can lease this, oh and I can lease this two trims higher!

Because of all the FUD and nonsense I don't think reasonable fiscal types fully compute they can CapEx their car and fueling essentially.

Basically for those fiscally responsible, CapEx your vehicle and the fuel that motivates it.

Average new car is $50k, why not reasonably size expectations and get new/used EV and Solar and be fine for *decades*

EV upgrade focus for the rest of the year is going to be easy stuff.

- Most new car buyers own homes
- Most Americans drive less than they can charge overnight on a household outlet.

New tactics:
- Most solar will vastly outlive your mortgage
- Most EVs will last into the last decade of mortgage

Definitely something other than utility prices at work here. North eastern part of the U.S. is the more climate resilient part for those west of the Mississippi.

Lovely summer night (93 today 🫣)

🤬

All this energy. It’s always funny when folks FUD EV as bad because transit and cycling and I ask why the countries that lead on transit and cycling lead on EVs.

Fossil fuel industry friction misinformation working overtime on here some times. Thanks for including all the great options!!

Yup, just wake up tomorrow with a full charge regardless of what’s going on, blissful!
