Yes, but I am just talking about the very narrow concern of stock buybacks. The other corporate financing tricks can still go on, but the practice of stock buyback to pump up stock price needs to be outlawed.

Come on, the Ioniq5 hardly qualify as ‘absolutely massive’

Ha- spot on! Whatever the inspiration, this design is pure awesomeness.

Stock buybacks should just be outlawed. The only allowable reason for a company to buy back stock, is if the company is using the bought back shares to give to their employees as compensation.

The Hyundai Ioniq5 and Ioniq6 have $7500 cash incentives as well.

Problem is he controls the switches and threatened to turn off the satellites so Ukraine couldn’t use them to target Russia.

And so was Trump’s mom

The reason city driving gets you worse gas mileage, is not because of the lower speeds. It’s because of the stop and go nature of city driving. If you are driving on a country road with no stops, then 40mph (or whatever the lowest speed is that you could sustain in top gear) would probably get you the best gas mileage.

Yeah. A Muscle car seems unnecessary when every EV on the market can jerk your head back fast enough to make you dizzy.

The new LED light bulbs last way longer than the old incandescent light bulbs.

The newer dryer doesn’t need that vent hose, so you can push it in all the way.

I’m personally looking forward to getting back a 3 phase circuit that my dryer runs on

We have a newish LG dryer (conventional, not heat pump) and it doesn’t dry to the crisp, fresh out of the oven type dryness that the previous ancient dryer used to do. But I find that once I take it out and start folding the clothes, it does dry. Granted that is in California climate. If you are in some Florida…

how does that reduce the dryer energy usage?

When they come out with a robot that hangs up and collects my laundry for me, I will definitely use clotheslines again.

Fuel efficiency in cars is highest between about 55-75

It’s not true. They use less than half the electricity compared to the old electric dryers. It does take longer for the drying cycle. So it’s a trade off. But the electricity savings is real.

I seem to recall the combined washer/dryer units will drain the water into the usual drain hose. It’s only the separate heat pump dryers, that require you to dump out the water- which I don’t think is much of a chore. You just pull out the tray and dump the water and put the tray back in. You already do the same for…
