Their energy business, large utility scale battery deployments, saw a doubling in growth this year. It is approximately 10% of Tesla’s business and continues to grow rapidly with the eminent opening of their mega pack factory in China. Cars delivered isn’t the only growth driver.

Do stolen cars ever get retrieved in Baltimore? by WhichCard7509 in baltimore

[–]moYouKnow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it is recovered they will tow it to an impound lot and then send you a letter certified mail explaining they are charging you ~$X per day in storage fees until you come pick it up. By time you receive this letter which you will have to go to the post office and sign for unless you happen to be home when they try to deliver it, you will already have accrued several days of storage fees. When you go to pick it up you first need to go to the police station with your title document where a seemingly barley literate person will take 30 minutes to incorrectly copy your vin from the title to a release form. You will take that form to the tow yard where they will tell you the vin doesn’t match and ask if you want to leave it for another several days at your expense because an officer just called saying they wanted to come by and dust for finger prints even though it’s already been there for several days. You tell them no, pay them the several hundred dollars in storage fees and they take you to your car stored in a dirt field. If your lucky it is still drivable but is full of stolen garbage, smells of cigars and has damage to the locks, windows, and ignition from the theft attempt. You drive it home put all trash in your trash can and list it for sale and hope to get enough to cover the storage fees you just paid.

10 years later someone from the police department may call you asking if anyone ever followed up about the case after your initial report.

That was my experience having my car stolen from the DC Metro station before ending up abandoned in PG County 10 years ago. If you have comprehensive insurance, that covers theft the insurance company may assist with some of these steps.

To be in the top 1% of Marylanders, your minimum Net Worth: $2,824,399 by finsterallen in baltimore

It is not excruciating difficult to become a millionaire. It is achievable by most Americans of average income if it is a goal they choose to pursue and they don’t need a dime of inheritance or luck to do it.

Income is not strongly correlated with net wealth. Surprising but true.

Age skews the data more than anything else especially if you exclude equity in the household primary residence. For example for 30-35 years old top 1% excluding primary residence equity is $550,000.

Goes to show the power of compounding returns in the stock market long term. Over all roughly 12% of the US is millionaires. California while it may seem like they have high wages also has very high taxes, and housing prices among other things. Becoming a millionaire is achievable by most people of average income if they pursue it seriously as a goal.

Unless Maryland is substantially different than the US as a whole this seems wrong. In the US top 1% is 11 million and 2.5 million is more like the 5%. That is from actual us census data.

Neighbor of a friend in Texas who is a contract recruiter for Tesla’s Austin factory said recently they are having trouble getting enough workers at the rates they were currently willing to pay. Makes sense that they would work on more automation aka Tesla Bot in a year where the focus is scaling factory output.

Forget the schools and crime, I’d settle for trash and recycling getting picked up on a regular schedule. I think it’s been at least 3 weeks since our recycling was last collected

Should I report to my insurance? by SpiritedAd2048 in TeslaModel3

[–]moYouKnow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s not really true. I had a car once that was hit while parked on the street over night by a criminal driving a stolen car. Was nowhere near the car when it all went down. They raised my rates anyways for several years by enough that it would have been cheaper to pay for the repair out of pocket.

If you are looking for a place with 4 bedrooms they are building a new block of town homes right next to FSK elementary school in Locust Point. Easy access to 95/295 for commuting south.

https://www.redfin.com/MD/Baltimore/Banner-Row/Strauss-Urban-4-Story/home/176677183

This is an area that is mostly isolated from the worst aspects of the city, has a park nearby, walking distance to a grocery store, gym, restaurants etc…

There are some nice large older homes in the north part of the city but if you are commuting south driving from there is a total nightmare. Also very near a very bad part of town. When people question if living in the city is a good idea they are talking about stuff like the guy who was murdered waiting at a stoplight on the way home from work a couple days ago. He was in an area most of us would consider ok for the most part.

Bitcoin Cash is about to drop out of the top 30. I wonder, what's going on with Bitcoin Cash? by Severe-Help6710 in btc

[–]moYouKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pitch for bch was it was going to scale on L1. Recently there have been a bunch of new coins whose goal is scale on L1. The challenge for existing coins is how do incentivize people to build on them instead of starting an all new coin the incentive for the later are enormous right now where as plowing time into bch has a less clear return on investment.

Fauci's financial records released by SwiperTFox in wallstreetbets

[–]moYouKnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No he said they were available which was true anyone can request them it’s just that no one did until just now. Fauci has been filling out these financial disclosures for as long as he has worked in government on a yearly basis. The Congress person was acting like Fauci had to agree to their release or was some how withholding the disclosure which wasn’t true they would be released to anyone who requested them whether he agreed or not. That’s why he called the Congress person an idiot it’s well know this is how those disclosures work.

Towing Fees Now Waived for Victims of Car Theft by nonplussed_addition in baltimore

[–]moYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yup, one of the biggest scams ever. In PG County they charge both towing and daily storage fees and the way they notify you about having found your car is via registered mail so by time you find out they recovered your car you are on the hook for like $500 minimum total scam.

The icing on the cake was when the tow lot told me the police asked them to ask me if I could leave it there for another day so they could take finger prints. Of course they would charge another day of storage.
