Depends - since some of them get full they tax credit and have decent lease options, they are cheaper new. I had Volt for a year when waiting for 3 because I could get it for < $200/m while Bolt was > $400/m.
OT: The plot of the "Command and Conquer" game series revolves around the appearance of a seemingly alien, crystalline "plant" called tiberium, after the Tiber river where it's discovered. Its lifecycle involves extracting minerals from organic matter into its crystal structure, then spreading tiny crystals in the wind like spores. This is needless to say an environmental catastrophe. An cultlike organization known as the Brotherhood of Nod notes its potential as a concentrator of valuable minerals, however, and develops a way to harvest and refine the tiberium - making the organization incredibly wealthy. It deliberately spreads the tiberium around the world, then uses the ensuing destabilization as a way to help gain recruits into its paramilitary ranks and establish economic and military strongholds. To combat the spread of Nod, and Tiberium, the Global Defense Initiative is launched, as a unified international military front - but Nod uses this as a further recruiting tool, painting itself as a resistance against fascism and statism (in practice, it's a cult of personality built around its founder, Kain).
I guess the reference was too obscureBack to our regularly scheduled market discussion!
That’s got to be best case. I would expect 50% more than that on average.
Indeed! Maybe my son would know, butty gaming knowledge kinda ended with Quake 4 Arena, and a bit of Minecraft.
Weird, really, when I was a kid I gamed all the time, in arcades back then, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Defender, etc. Now I have the time and the means to invest in that, I'm not remotely interested - a good book is way more rewarding
Sorry, OT!!!!
It was the first popular, true RTS game ever made (three years before the original Starcraft), and spawned a series of 11 games over a decade and a half timespan, selling over 30 million copies. I just figured people would have heard of it
If we assume about 3k cars per boat to EU - that's about 20k.
While I may have ordered my Model 3 this week, with hopeful delivery in a week or so, my wife and I purchased a Volt last year. Funny that I'm using the tax refund on the Volt as a down payment on the Model 3.
Anyhow, she has family that lives in areas where there are no superchargers along the route, and we couldn't afford two $50k cars... The Volt was $29.5k before the $7.5k tax rebate. 65% of her driving is now electric, which is better than the 0% with her old car. It's safer, quicker, and will have a lower TCO than her old car. For someone who lives in an urban area, a PHEV is actually a good alternative, because it can still do long drives if need be. I think it's a decent bridge technology. I do wish they had put a 1.3L or 1L engine instead of the 1.5L engine it has, along with a smaller gas tank, but c'est la vie. We will probably keep the Volt until we can get a Model Y.
Indeed, today's TSLA price action so far:
It's like if they were using horse and buggy criteria to evaluate the first model T's. They might not be expected to know any better...
