    Truck bed for me, too. I’ve also been thinking about a DIY contraption in the second row for a single sleeper — to benefit from climate control, and since all gear and luggage can obviously go in the truck bed. Do we have the internal dimensions of the second row yet?

    Supercharger - Augusta GA

    Yes. Note: Washington Rd has many services nearby — a decent TexMex restaurant and several hotels, so that last full charge before the next day’s travel can be done while in the hotel.

    I keep thinking why btc the 24Nov$250’s when the ~$300 gained on expiry would pay for a posh day at Pinehurst? :) Edit: Ha ha, checked prices after above post, and succumbed to Knightshade’s attitude — btc at $0.18 or $72 to clear the deck in that account.

    I suppose the 4% idea is geared towards many retirees being less willing to accept principal volatility, and having more conservative allocations that make 11% difficult to achieve.

    Me, too, on the -c250. Oddly, roll credit for 1Dec$260 has improved slightly since yesterday despite the $5 SP gain. Prefer to let $250 expire and sell $260 Monday to get >$1.50 vs. $0.94 on the roll. Unsure what the credit growing means, but suppose it’s related to market thinking $250 on...

    I’ve stopped at Laurinburg several times in the past few weeks. It’s a good location per charging speed, availability and food options. Lumberton is quite long in the tooth (slower). FWIW, when I’m driving familiar routes, I let the car tell me where to stop, but monitor stops closer and...

    I’ve run through 3 sets of tires in 123,000 miles in my 8 y.o. Model S = $3,300/123,000 = 2.7 cents/mile. My earlier ICE were similar. What’s your experience?

    This seems to mean you will keep posting until Dec 31st which is the only way we can see if $200 is hit this year or not, or at least until mid-month if it’s at $250 with no further dip in sight. Verdad?

    Has anyone tracked this in prior quarters? Sure looks like the last week of the quarter includes a nice run up due to window dressing and possibly pre-P&D, then a drop of SP (and IV?) the following week. @Yoona recently cited data for a drop 80% of the time the week after.
