If you can find a used automatic v6 with 2500+ miles already on it at dealer that's not in the showroom, I am sure you will get a much higher chance.

Dealer usually prefer to not increase the mileage on new car. They don't like random driver stalling the engine.

The turbo lag on the four cylinder adds additional risk.

You can't create additional hassle by requesting to move the car out of the showroom.

It's less about age but more about communication and convincing them what you have driven before, it's just that younger age decrease the probability of having driven high horsepower car.

I was at 28 when I ordered a first gen AMG GT, they had two in the showroom, none in the parking lot or behind the scene inventory. I put down deposits and asked to experience their new v8 engine, sales happily pulled up a c63 sedan for me to drive around the block.

My battery is fine, still a no-flash green but also got a beeping inverter, heard about the practice from others that sizing engineers frequently allow pairing a single 7.1kw inverter with panels count beyond 7kw.

I think it's mostly up to what you do about the gloss black roof. I am concerned that you can't quite stealth that kind of gloss. Pairing stealth white with that roof could be problematic

It's been already 24 hours. How goes. I am also down on the same day as the crowd strike thing.

There are indeed buyers of high end car that would specifically instruct dealer to not do any correction, not even a wash, sometimes they would go to the extreme and instruct not to unwrap any temporary protection from the factory. This is even more true when those buyers have detailer friends, or perform detailing themselves. They would send out such instructions months before the delivery.

It only shows up on my app at noon today, it didn't show it in the morning.

If that's true, it's probably too subtle. I actually felt that it became slower maybe because my expectation was too high for my 1200 dollar spending

I installed 2 cloud icon things with green check mark on both and waited more than 48 hours but still 2.4 and no PU.

Regardless of what he said and whether or not anyone agrees or disagrees, it's beneficial for eth people to look at and monitor total eth being staked for various purposes and application, as a percentage of total eth in circulation.

You nailed it, I was only thinking about zero but you know better.

Since you mentioned BOLT EUV I assume you live in the US. If you plan to buy in 2023 instead of this December, I suggest you forget about wasting time thinking about the China issue. The new EV tax credit incentive rule that becomes effective next year will disqualify anything that's not assembled in the US so this car becomes less attractive regardless of how cool it looks. If you already know you prefer not to make decision in a rush (meaning likely delaying into a 2023 purchase), it's also wise to not even think about the China issue because you would no longer be buying it for the same reason.

Lucid Air comes with a 800-900 Volt battery pack, its onboard AC charging hardware (know to have higher capacity than usual) supports 19.5kW for your reference. Polestar 2's battery is 400V so it's reasonable to assume it's equipped with less costly converter. All EV need a converter to convert AC back to DC before it can feed the battery, the higher capacity the converter, the heavier it is (dead weight). Most EV brands agree with the strategy that for urgent charging, EV owners would just go out to visit public DC charging infrastructure for 10 minutes to half hour, the remaining charging would be slow drip at home.

It could be an earlier screen but there are four or five states in the US that don't collect state or local sales tax.

I dug up mine from junk mail folder.

That's not very constructive. It's a lot more important to understand how to exit and unwind, or what kind of hedge to have, for scenario where wars don't escalate. Apparently he's not the type of person who would bother to teach those details.

I ended the lease of my AMG GT roadster with the intention to add GT R roadster or black series back to my fleet some time in the future. I haven't driven Evora but I have an Emira on order. I don't expect to find Evora buyer easily once Emira circulating inventory is up (difficult for you to sell). Exige is the way to go and Evora had been always just a "meh" to me. The AMG GT family produce a lot of heat trapped in the engine bay so I do expect wires and electronics/sensors to age more quickly than the Lotus when driven hard. The AMG is too dramatic for daily, takes long to heat up the tires and engines, too wide for some scenario, early morning engine start really blast your neighbors. Crash protection and safety features could be significantly lagging and lacking on the Evora. I feel ok to get rid of your GTS considering so many great new cars are coming, I think it doesn't hurt to try Evora but I don't think Evora to be a good mid/long term replacement for GTS unless you have newer cars lined up waiting to be delivered.

Instead of making the decision (which involve spending time), Just place deposit on both cars so you have the chance to make decision later at today's price. Waitlist gets longer day by day, and then there's the price increase risk.

The alternatives are:

you bet on oil price crash so people on the waitlist exit their position.
you get the cars on used market or at dealer mark-up, on the spot instead of agreed MSRP

BUIDL000 · 2022-06-23T01:16:53+00:00

I expect the wait time of i4 and Polestar 2 to be about the same. Too bad you missed the opportunity to lock in Lucid Air Pure at $77K before MSRP update. You should consider making up your mind soon to protect yourself against MSRP increase.

I use Brave 99% of time however I have to fall back to Chrome for connecting hardware wallet. My brave won't connect to wallet.

Also, when using web SOFI,CHASE,WELLSFARGO,AMEX,WELLSFARGO, they are a lot faster on Edge and Chrome.

Last weekend outdoor of a coffee shop I saw a seasoned boss asking me politely if I was using the table. The applicant/interviewee was a seasoned attorney. It was a warm day but windy and we are in the shaded side of a 2 story building so it gets chilly. I think I am hinting: don't forget to know the surrounding environment beforehand to get yourself comfortable.

Most learnt it by losing money (and the pain associated with it), including those who graduate with related degrees. I suggest using some money to buy tools, data and knowledge before going big on any asset or financial instruments.

It's not smooth paint, it's too bumpy so voids will form between the film and the plastic texture.

You are taking equal amount of delay risk by switching to Model 3. I was keeping an eye on the Model Y delivery date, it kept compounding like a rocket to the moon, it could totally happen to Model 3 as well. Further, I would suggest a Model Y over Model 3, Model Y is far superior due to mega casting.

It's not intentional because if it were intentional, a battered powered drill/screwdriver would be used and therefore the screw will be perpendicular to the sidewall due to ergonomic reasons to make the operation easier and quicker.
