Define prime location. There are lots of factors. And a battery alone can save costs by allowing you to buy non-peak electricity for use later.

I noticed the same thing when working in Australia, a nation prone to drought. Bulk water users get a discount!! While us normies were told to conserve, conserve, conserve. Ah the beauty of privatizing the essentials where profit is the goal (there is zero competition in the water space). So stupid.

I struggle to imagine how this country can ever come back together. We do not have the same values. MAGA does not see the corruption that is occurring. Instead their rage is fed with these headlines. I took this screenshot myself, but you should always verify. No, Iโ€™m not linking this bullshit.

Sadly, Tesla has lost its shine for me. With so many competitors catching up, it's hard to get excited. And while I appreciate the goal of FSD, I don't think it will truly be autonomous any time soon. Unless all the cars start speaking with each other. There are just too many variables to process.

Here's another electric family car I got to drive in China. It's the BYD Atto 2 and I'm going to make a rare prediction. ๐Ÿค” I'll bet you three (3) high-quality Agria potatoes that it'll be on offer in NZ & Australia before the end of the year. What do you reckon? www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M-U...
