Yep, always does, lol. But market cap is not indicative of making money either. The scary part is their EPS numbers are absurd for an Auto OEM.

Uhhh, that is not true in the slightest. Q1 ‘24 total auto revenue was $17.378bn and total energy storage and generation revenue was $1.635bn for a total of 7.6% of total revenue generation on $21.301bn in revenue. For full year ‘23 energy generation and storage revenue was 6.2% of total revenue generation. $6.035bn…

Yea, it really is. I am not involved in the traditional media side, so I only get top level numbers here and there. But on a Sunday in an NFL city, something like 20-30% of all the cable households are watching their NFL team play while even a major NBA game might get 5-10% viewership (or less) and a random TV show on…

I can definitely agree that they have generational bloat. So, if you consider subcompact as small, then you are right.

Depending on what you consider “small” I would argue there are a lot of choices. I think of any compact or subcompact as small and you have a ton of choices and most all with good to great gas mileage.

“be unable to fund vital business expenses … necessary to effectuate an orderly liquidation.”

I mean, I guess in this case small is very subjective. But if you include the Mini there are a bunch of “small cars” available here. From the Corolla, Civic, Elantra, GTI, Jetta, Mazda3, Bolt, Impreza, Rio, Prius, Forte, Sentra, Versa and Leaf to others.

Yea, we also have streaming services as well. But luckily we can “share” some of them with family so I think we are only paying for like 2 or 3 of them. I work in digital advertising and the streaming services landscape is a mess, but it is and will slowly but surely consolidate. Especially since some of them are…

I know that, just saying that some could equate more valuable to bigger than sales show.

There are multiple other brands out there that aren’t Ford that will sell you that car, not hard to find them either. 

NFL is a bit of a weird one since the major networks hold a lot of rights along with some streaming (Amazon has one game a week, Peacock has a random game or two) and then some cable networks (I think just ESPN). So, it is all over the place. Plus, you then have regional rights and whatnot.

That is not true with leasing though, pretty much everything is eligible for full $7,500 fed credit if you are leasing. That is why that dealer has $7,500 NMAC lease cash on the Airya lease, the NMAC “lease cash” is the fed rebate. On the leaf lease, they only show a $1k NMAC lease cash number. They may be keeping…

It really isn’t and is pretty much in line with any other sport specific streaming service. MLB TV is like $165/year, but way more games, NBA TV about the same, but again a lot more games, not sure on NFL I assume they charge out the ass, but I don’t care enough to find out.

The disclosure that Bradley put in the article does not reflect that. It shows MSRP of $30k and residual of $22k with state credit of $8,100 and $1,00 lease cash. So, unless the $7,500 fed credit is rolled into the state one, it isn’t listed.

14th overall in sales for ‘23. Now, if you use market cap, they are the largest by A LOT, which is just insane since they are 2x the market cap of Toyota who sells about 5x the cars a year. 

I would argue that the 14th largest automaker in the world is NOT one of the largest in the world. Maybe if you go by market cap, but not in sales.

Do these qualify for fed rebate too? I would assume that since it is a lease, it does. If so, you could literally get paid to drive this car.

My thoughts too. I kind of hate it so much that I like it.

While I do kind of agree with your sentiment, “perfect car” is a very subjective thing. Since none of us are luckily the same there can be perfect for you cars, but not perfect for me or anyone else.

Polestar, yet another EV cash incinerator. If there was anything that EV’s were really truly great at, it is incinerating investor and owner cash.
