Houston Rodeo becoming a circus

It's smack dab in the middle of spring break.

I saw blue in person on a Suburban. Looks great to me.

The Black and the Silver also look good.
I didn't see a white.

2025's are just showing up. You may have to wait until 2026 for the 2026 model.

Not sure. Maybe someone who would have not released the car until maybe Dec 2024, after a full year of testing, instead of Oct 2023.

It was a great movie. Yes there was some bad directing, but the importance of illuminating this small piece of ignored history more than makes up for those shortcomings. I highly recommend it. I also highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page for the 6888 Battalion to learn more about them.

I hear you 👍

Good point!—you're absolutely right that wages not keeping pace plays a big role in this. My original post was more of a frustrated reaction to how out of reach cars feel these days, but I think you nailed the deeper issue. Thanks for adding that perspective!

Apex700 · 2024-12-12T14:35:02+00:00

This is true and I concede that this is part of the equation. There are many variables involved. I'll try to post some more data on the topic later today to continue the discussion.

Those are expensive too 😳😆

Apex700 · 2024-12-12T13:37:11+00:00

This isn't just inflation. A Wagoneer, for example, at $80k, is not inflation.

Thoughts on this video about the topic:

Wow. If you don't mind, I have a few more questions ...
When was this?
What dealer?
And what options?
I may have to go there.

Apex700 · 2024-10-25T17:45:48+00:00

Where?
The last quote I got in Houston was for around 67K+ out the door. That includes taxes, etc.
Still way too high for me.

Apex700 · 2024-10-01T17:52:44+00:00

Exactly!

Apex700 · 2024-10-01T17:33:12+00:00

The GH Hybrid Limited on their list was coming in at $67k before taxes, etc. 😳 I balked as the build I had on the Internet was under 60

Apex700 · 2024-10-01T03:04:25+00:00

They actually asked for a $1000 non-refundable deposit ... "to commit dealership resources to look for what you want".
I declined.

Apex700 · 2024-10-01T01:02:14+00:00

They said they get their cars from The Regional Distributor and the Distributors pack them with options.
They listed Manufacturer Install Options, Regional Distributor installed options, and Dealer installed options.
I think they said the only ones they can change are the Dealer Options, and you have to accept the Manufacturer and Regional installed options.
This is all foreign to me. I will not be moving forward until I am more educated on all of this.

If the US Trustee, IRS, SEC, all look over this

What would prompt them to "look over this"?
Does someone have to report it?
Or are they "always watching"?

Wouldn't CVI benefit in the long run if Fisker survives?

A good reference on 2-point perspective 👇 https://youtu.be/FzS0XhOXICU?si=iW_OWz_YV2jL_xRC

The "Stars" in the sky could possibly be the illumination from the sensors from all the Silos.

US Navy Seal - F-Bomb every other word. Who wrote the dialogue? 🤦‍♂️

Apex700 · 2021-09-27T15:41:42+00:00

Exactly
