It just happened again on the last lap!

Just sounds like you bought shitty used cars.

Ya if you get 6 figures in your twenties, the smartest thing you can do is invest that ASAP in proper index fund. Blowing 30 to 40k on a new car is setting the rest of your financial life up for disaster. And yes there will be who disagree. Those people also will never retire early, and will argue that their happiness…

Will a couple lottery tickets a year make a difference? No. But those who say they’re “good with money” and even buy a couple lottery tickets, also buy a couple coffees instead of make their own. And they buy car washes a couple times instead of washing the car themselves. And they buy name brand food on “sale”…

Don’t want to kill ALL the fun, but there’s another option. Mid to low six figures doesn’t shout life-changing to me if you start spending it now. Market returns on it for the next 30 years, however, is compounding magic.

Just pocket the money until you’re done with school for the foreseeable future. Why blow that much cash on a car now when you openly admit you don’t plan on keeping it.

Wait, winning the lottery means you bought a lottery ticket, which is inherently not a smart thing to do with your money.

I won the lottery when I was in my early 20s. Not as much as you, high 5 figures. I was initially going to buy a new camaro or sti but decided to get a simple used civic for 8k and a used motorcycle. Put the rest of the money into property. Since then those properties have made me exponentially more than I had…

Honestly, the real answer? a used civic. It is a WASTE OF MONEY to buy a new car. So if you are truly interested in being smart with your money, you don’t buy a luxury SUV, you buy a 2 year old used civic or accord. Because you can pretty much buy a LIFETIME supply of those used for the price of a new lexus or…

Care to share a few more stories about the work you did and him? *wide open eyes emoji goes here

Raj has an enormous ego, but damn if he’s not right a lot of the time. It was interesting meeting/knowing and working (several levels under) for him.

firing a firearm into the air is illegal. even in the great state of texas.

Audi Team:

Also, soo0o like a Cayenne?

Soooo, like a Macan?

You aren’t listening to me.

Adding on to this, I don’t understand where the vast growth potential is. Best case scenario is everyone wants their cars and they join Ford and GM as a major American automaker, license their autonomous driving and battery tech to other companies (unlikely with everyone working on their own version), and their…

Except Nissan, Chevy, et al. except Tesla do not use those cells and have no plans to use those cells, because even though their per-cell energy density is better than prismatics, their pack-level energy density is wrecked once you start packaging cylinders into cubes. To say nothing of the…

75% is being crazy generous. For every Google, there’s hundreds of CueCats and Pets.coms.

I don’t really understand this. They built this factory for cylindrical cells. What else uses these cells these days? I guess their own powerwall...but it’s not in laptops or cell phones anymore, no other car maker wants to deal with the poor packing efficiency. I don’t see the other markets for their tech?
