Is Koonin still getting "subsidies" from BP ? (BP = British Petroleum)

From what I remember .. plants eat CO2 and spit out Oxygen ... they fail to mention that.
As far as global warming goes ... look at the graph they use .. LMAO

Nor has noli bought a Tesla ..

Chaz,

hoping that someday you enjoy a Tesla as much as I do

here's a real-time view of one of many cameras on my model Y

Have fun w/your plug ins but I kinda prefer this.

Wow!!! That is a really practical boat. You wife and kids must love going on long trips on it. What is the range on it? It must go 300-400 miles on a full tank.

[Instigator]

Practical?

That explains a lot.

When I joined this site 20+ yrs ago I thought it was focused on light, fast, racing outboard powered boats!

Thx to all you newbie trolls for setting me straight!

BTW, the elec OB that just set its own record was on a hull similar to this but….., weighed a 1000 lbs more!

It required charging after each Kilo (6/10 mile) attempt.

The one I attached races 5 miles (8.33 kilometers) on a single, 2 gl tank of fuel w/50% reserve.

They race hrs long marathons by simply, adding larger tanks.

I love the F-1 style, electric car racing class.

They start the race in one car, then when the batteries die they pit and change cars to
Finish the race, so we don’t have to check in a hotel while we wait on the batteries to recharge.

Yay!

LOL, at 66 I am as likely to buy a kneel down boat as I am to buy an electric boat. I'll go watch some kneel down and T boat races in June, but you won't see me in one. And as I've said before, I think electric boats are interesting but not yet useful.

I think of this site as being aimed at boats like my SS2000. 18-20' outboards. Bigger boats are interesting, but I don't know what I would do with one.

As it turns out, I am a car guy as well as a boat guy, and Tesla fascinates me.

The Tesla video that was posted was interesting. I wonder if it was AI generated. (1) A lot of crude pronunciation (2) At the end there were dubious claims of production volume. They are anticipating 200,000 vehicles a year from the new assembly plant process vs the current norm of 100,000? Any random vehicle assembly plant runs about a car a minute and cranks out 250,000 cars a year on 2 shifts. I've been to scores of assembly plants.

But wait, there's more Tesla is already at around 41 second cycle time for their 3/Y assembly using traditional assembly lines. Yes there is some new stuff in vehicle design there, giga castings and structural battery packs that include the seat mounting. But the 3 and Y are made on assembly lines, significantly faster then anyone else (41 s vs 58 s at best)

A lot of business press is projecting EVs to be break even with ICE vehicles in this decade. If Tesla can revolutionize vehicle assembly in 2025, they might be there. Of course Mr Musk usually misses his deadlines.

I could post links to pages about the new Tesla assembly process if desired.

Dude, not trying to sell anyone on a kneel down!

Only comparing technologies.

I think this thread is about an electric OB setting a speed record??

Dont think it’s very practical either??

Those sold on the ev’s will be no matter what.

To me, they’re toys not cars.

Have all the fun you want.

The truth is out there!

Pictures are worth a thousand words:

Two trucks that I work the most, one Trump cart that runs flawlessly, and one Biden cart that always needs a charger, batteries or something "maybe he will send me one after getting my check on the 15th"

LOL. Given the history of things Trump has put his name on, I wouldn't put a bad omen like that on my truck. If that were from a factory I'd be worried the engine wouldn't even be a Cummins lol, but even Dodge knows better than to associate with that charlatan.

Imagine thinking the guy who thought putting THREE casinos in Atlantic City was a good idea, known for not paying construction workers, is a good businessman, worth putting a badge on a truck for, that was probably made in China, and doesnt help him. He'd rather you send HIM the money. He really needs it right now for some reason I wonder? There's the Trump Bible, the Trump Shoes, the Trump NFT cards, lol. With all of the real crap Trump is actually trying to sell to fund his legal catastrophe, this is hilarious. I remember making fun of the Obama worship, but it's on another level with Trump lol

President of the United States of America?

The Toyota Corolla is more expensive to own and operate than the Tesla Model-Y

I will leave the calculation up to you to complete.

Include in your calculation ..
* Corolla will use up gasoline
* Corolla will need oil changes
* Toyota Dealers are adding $$ to your purchase price, boosting up the final cost (avg of $1,500)
* Tesla will give you 5000 free miles on charging
* Tesla will give you a $5,000 discount up front
* Tesla will give you a $7,500 tax credit up front

You might be living a little to close to CUDA, I think he is rubbing off on you. We have two choices for a president (that is it), is your hatred or jealously going to make you avoid going after his fiscal policies, ability to communicate, handle international trade and relations, control international energy cost etc. etc.? that help you as an individual and small business owner. Trump operates approximately 250 successful businesses and is one of the American success stories not a typical government employee. We need to embrace the fact that Trump has such a huge ego and sensational appetite to shrink our government and eliminate as much corruption as possible. This guy writes thousands of paychecks every week and he can relate to us as business owners. Biden has never written a payroll check (only collected them from us and other countries). You might want to concentrate on his hundreds of successful business ventures rather then the few that have failed. His success is blatantly obvious "he spends more on operating his private aircraft in a single month they you or I make in ten years". Who do know that owns 10 businesses or more?--learn from them.

Bottom line you have two choices for November (you might want to see who your customers support and which candidate would make them more likely to spend additional money with your company)--I think you already know the answer and need to go with common sense for the benefit of your family and business.

If you want to be successful, have a successful leader and successful friends. Hang around 5 millionaires and you will become #6, hang around 5 drug dealers and you will become #6. We are all products of our environment-Create the one that best for all of us.
