The problem with my 2011 Sprinter and many other vintage and current Daimler and MB products is an inadequate 12 volt entertainment system. I discovered with the current pandemic that many commercial Apple Car Play compatible car stereo systems from China and Japan and Vietnam have gone.on...
Established dealers with service networks is how money is minted by the dealers. Routine maintenance, warranty “service”, collision repair of body on frame ICE powered vehicles are very profitable together with coownership of Enterprise rental franchises as the vehicles being serviced stack up...
Speaking of opinions NOT politics, what do future Cybertruck owners think is the root cause of the forest fires threatening population centers on the west coast of the US again this summer. I personally believe bad Forest Management is the immediate cause not global warming. I’m a part time...

Sweden is an excellent example of a country who understands the human immune system is an excellent match for the Covid 19 pandemic when given enough time to develop herd immunity in the young and...
If you keep your savings in cash nowadays at 1.3% CD interest rates you are not keeping up with inflation which devalues the dollar an average of 50% every 20 years. Owning shares of good public and private companies is the secret to beating inflation in our current bloated federal government...
The CT has a slightly larger footprint than my 2011 MB Sprinter 2500 van which is a very useful truck. It is also 21 “ less tall than the standard roof Sprinter which makes it safer in poorly lit tree lined parking lots where you hear the roof damage from tree limbs before you see them. Trucks...
I recommend holding the stock for at least another 5 years. You’ll kick yourself if you sell after the first stock split. This is a future Dow 30 company. When I speak of enriching ones lives I was referring to a company’s products. Tesla products seem to be directed at consumers who already...
Look for a UK factory if Tesla decides to produce a Cybervan with a slightly reduced footprint than the CT. Also don’t forget that the Tesla Semi will also be entering full production mode, possibly to start in Sparks, NV and then ? Oklahoma if not Austin too.
Side by sides are used preferentially to pickups for work and for play in rural areas on dirt roads. I use my 2014 Yamaha Viking in Northern ME to fill the woodshed and ride the ATV trails 3 across in the front with a steel dump bed in the back. You can buy five UTV’s powered by a motorcycle...
Trees are good for the environment too. They are natures first solar plant. They use solar energy captured in chlorophyll to combine CO2 and H2O into carbohydrates and oxygen. It’s called photosynthesis. Trees were our first fuel and wood pellets from saw dust are popular heating fuels...

I beg to disagree Terry, TSLA, is like every other Future DJIA stock before it enters the S & P 500 average after it starts earning a net profit. Enjoy the ride. The purpose of an investment vehicle is beating dollar devaluation/ inflation. It’s doing that well. Tesla happens to make actual...
If you make a living as a teamster you need to have a commercial vehicle with as close as possible to a 600 mile range which you achieve in 10 hours of driving. I think the Tesla Semi and CT are almost there. We’ll learn how close on battery day next month near the time of its annual meeting...
