people are hoping to also be part of the grift.
Looks like Trump is back at the acquire more stock phase. Incoming peace deal when he's looking to sell...
Back to losing a war of his own creation, then.
So does he just tick up his "I ended X number of wars" box every time he announces a peace deal? Or was this last one with the prolonged ceasefire-not-ceasefire considered just one war and now this is him speedrunning Iran War 2.0? I have to know if he's cooking the books on his war ending statistics!
The oil price is way lower and the stock market is way higher than either have the right to be given the reality. I assume reality will catch up as reserves run dry, but the game of extend-and-pretend can last longer than anticipated.
On the upside, this is driving a huge shift towards EVs in the US. They're selling out so fast that just finding a unit to test drive was surprisingly difficult. My city is rolling out a huge number of residential grid upgrades to handle the anticipated load increase. It's pretty nice.
Unfortunate timing on a bunch of auto companies shifting away from EVs just before the war on Iran: https://www.autonews.com/ev/an-automakers-50-billion-ev-writedowns-0213/
Hopefully this forces the lesson on auto companies to keep up the investment on EVs and drives more people to try out an EV. I'm sure many would love them if they just gave them a try.
I bought my first used EV just a few months ago and am loving it
That's awesome! One thing nobody mentioned to me is that EV owners tend to know each other because we're all hanging out at the chargers, and everyone (with the very notabale exception of tesla owners) is super nice! It's just generally a pretty positive experience socially as well as economically.
Ha I love it! I charge almost exclusively at home, as I have a gas powered van for long distance trips and my Bolt EUV's DC fast charging is limited to 50kW. I feel like I'm missing out now. Lol
Glad you like your Bolt too! Ended up trading a Honda CR-V for a 2027 Bolt thanks to all this nonsense too.
Do I feel a little foolish driving a car off the lot when I had to finance? A little. But even the LT trim we got is super neat, drives so ZIPPY...And I look at all the gas stations and constant-expensive-noise fixing auto shops I drive past, and feel such a relief.
... Now to just pay off this thing.
I'm convinced a Bolt was the very best choice all things considered... They don't make an EV Honda Element yet, so the perfect E-SUV doesn't exist yet! 😉
Upside, you can get a reasonable charge over the weekend on a Level 1 charger alone - something I really wish my ioniq 5 could do (not that I'm procrastinating hiring an electrician or anything...)
True. Most people don't need more than that. Even if you have limited power, like an old 100 amp electrical panel, you can do a 230V 20 Amp plug. That's still around 2.5x faster than a L1 charger, but draws as much as a large window air conditioner.
I have a 230V 32 Amp charger I installed myself, but I was using a Level 1 charger just fine until I got around to wiring up my charger outlet.
Has your Ioniq 5 had any of the issues with the ICCU people complain about? I was originally going to get that instead of a Bolt, but those failures scared me away.
Yeah, I've got a 230V 50A outlet I can hook into easily enough once I get the wasps cleared out. I'd really like to stick a dedicated lvl 2 charger out there, but IDK if my panel can even handle the load from that outlet alone. I've been putting off upgrading it for ages, and all the electrician friends I've asked for help about it have just sorta stared at my panel for a while then quickly changed the subject to asking about my smoke detectors, which seems like a good sign.
(My Ioniq is new enough to have come stock with the newer, supposedly-fixed ICCU + the software patch, so fingers crossed that it should be fine (I haven't heard of them failing, at least). Really love the car though - first one I've owned that made driving actually like... a fun thing to do. Also damn that charge time on 800v is ridiculously nice)
So it was theatre after all.
Hey check out this guy who just caught on!
What a total surprise. I was sure that Trump had cleared this mess up that he created for zero good reasons.
🥱
dint know we had another"deal" its 1 deal closing and opening per week.
That's a long time for the flow of oil to be interrupted to a nation so dependent on dinosaur blood.
Who is also selling it to keep the EU/UK hanging on.
lol watching the SPR run out mid-month is gonna be a fucking riot 🫠
Well he's covered there since he's already blamed Obama and Biden for it.
