I own a base model and at no point have I been tempted to upgrade to an S. Sure, it’s faster, but the base model is so good that it never seems worth the price bump to go to the S.

Only 5% of batteries in the EU coming from recycled sources can be more of an indicator of growth in the market than anything else.

A market that is growing exponentially isn’t going to have a lot of used supply as a percent of demand - i mean, go back 80 years and there was a lot of lead mining in the US for making…

In my driveway is my Nissan Leaf for daily (95% of my driving), 2015 Porsche Cayman (4%), and 57 Chevy BelAir for Sundays. Feels like a perfect arrangement, so I’m interested in following this story and seeing how it fits into his wagon life.

Neutral:
I’m very nervous because I seem to have a bad case of PTSD from 2016. And here we are. Some 4 years later except this time its after having four years of jaw-dropping, unbelievable corruption being orchestrated by a cartoonishly vile fat man who seems to have no boundaries when it comes to totally shitty…

Neutral: The less I think about the election, the more happier I feel and keep my sanity. 

Strike 2!!! Touch-sensitive is obviously the way, ya back-hair brushing cavemen.
