Welcome aboard, although it’s not in your wheelhouse - but any improvement in how the comments section works would be great. I imagine a lot of the people comes back again and again due to the rich community it has gathered - even the ones in the greys.

As bad as this event was, it was good to see so many pilot-focused Youtubers get some highlights on this and go to such great lengths for the breakdown.

Are EV’s not selling though? As far as I have read is that demand still strips supply with most models on a reservation and wait path (maybe save for the blow-up Bolts).

In theory true, but H2 conversion via electrolysis is very energy wasteful being around 24% efficient. Then there is long-term storage, distribution, high pressure pipelines, etc. The investments in that infrastructure would never be recouped.

That is what a Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is that is made today. It has an EV drivetrain with the electrical generation coming from fuel cells by combining H and O2. You could slap a battery on it and make it plug in hybrid I guess, but cost,space, and weight wouldn’t make sense.

Or they could just change the definitions that define a home. Take for instance in my area, you can’t park an RV on empty land and live in it. The maximum you can reside in the RV is under 2 weeks (there is also a limit per year, but don’t know it). If you do you could be evicted from your own land unless you appeal…

Honestly, it was probably some mid-level clerk that saw this and said, that’s not fair and just read the law... judiciously.

In some inventory programs, pricing is the easiest domain to change, catalog, and search for. Modern ERP’s can now most likely to better look-ups for aged-date to price to floorplan, and even they have something special like that then they still need to distribute that to their sales team to know what to sell and at…

I think the calculus of time/effort/price is hard for most people. A lot of people aren’t savvy enough to to know best price and to search for it nationally. Another complication would be not seeing a used car in person to inspect before picking it up. Also not all people have time to take vacation to fly then drive…

You know I just love how the writers are now subtly letting us know how to circumvent the page-turning lists.

I agree, they should have dealt with this in local government as a law/rule/statute rather than re-interpreting a law already on the books - which will now be decided in court rather than legislature.

All true, can confirm from my days at the Marine camps - although in-uniform anything outside of camp was a no-no for us. If you are at a dealership around an installation and come in with a high and tight haircut you will be treated and pointed to the highest car within your paygrade budget.

True, but that has also changed substantially over the years. There are two types of checks, hard and soft credit checks. Most likely dealerships will pull a soft credit check to test drive, and this is an abbreviated pull simply for credit-worthiness and is not counted against your credit rating.

I don’t think the case of argument is upkeep vs tax being overshadowed, these are two separate items. The point should be, is the property assessed its fair share of taxes whether on land or docked “at sea”? The upkeep does not contribute to the local infrastructure and government represented entity of the area, only…

No one buys something like this not knowing they are skirting rules, and shouldn’t be surprised if those loopholes are closed.  People in these cases are not that ignorant.

Most townships in my area (Mid-Michigan) consider anything lived in for longer than 2 weeks that is not a primary residence forbidden and can be fined for living in RV’s and etc.

Indeed!

Waking up on the bottom of the ocean with your family is a pretty ironclad clause in an NDA if you ask me.  One the courts won’t decide...

The entire Midwest now has these idiots, can confirm in Michigan too.

It got so bad that areas around Lansing (Okemos in particular) have actually delayed the left turn flashing red signal 3 seconds after the other straight lanes get their green to stop this.
