    Ohhh an update on those Hertz Teslas they had to sell for 30000$ after only 2 years
    As per jalopnok.com those cars were rented by share ride drivers because of their super low fuel savings. The ones listed for sale in Hertz.vom show 80000 miles put on in 2 years. 80000 miles is mileage typically seen in 6/7 year old cars. They are also expected of being victim of battery abuse

    One must always be more skeptical of believing “good” news/dats, and always look for verification

    As Paul Harvey said…. The rest of the story…

    On Thursday, the sweep sputtered.

    Hertz said in an SEC filing that it would be selling 20,000 of its EVs and replacing them with fossil fuel–powered vehicles. Another sign of EV momentum slowing? Perhaps. But it’s more likely a precautionary tale for how businesses should assess new markets — and how not to introduce a new product to your customers.

    After Hertz started buying EVs, it directed most of them to Uber drivers. Uber was pushing drivers toward EVs in a number of markets, cities like New York were enticing them to make the switch, and they had attractive operating costs relative to gas-powered cars. Uber drivers also rented the cars for longer periods of time, Hertz said, meaning that fewer employees were needed to support a given number of vehicles. Plus, maintenance costs were lower, and Hertz was able to rent them at higher prices.

    “Electric vehicles open the door to our growing presence in ride-share, where electrification is a fast approaching requirement not merely an option, in a channel where we are uniquely positioned,” Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said in the company’s Q3 earnings call.

    But while maintenance costs may have been lower, repairing damage from collisions ended up being higher than expected. Given that Teslas cost more to repair, that shouldn’t come as a surprise. They’re relatively new vehicles, and body shops don’t have as much experience with them. It’s a problem that’s not unique to Teslas: Fixing a Volkswagen costs more than fixing a Chevy, for example. Why Hertz thought its cars would be different is anyone’s guess.

    Thursday was not a good day for Electric Vehicles.

    Deloitte’s Global Automotive Consumer Study found: “Consumer interest in Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) vehicles is rebounding in some markets surveyed as affordability concerns continue to weigh heavily on forward intentions.”

    Specifically, in the United States, 67% of consumers said they prefer an internal combustion engine in their next vehicle purchase – up from 58% last year. Just 6% prefer pure EVs and 21% prefer hybrids:

    Biden is not just a liar, he is a damn liar. All Biden had to do to secure the border is leave Trump’s immigrant policies in place like “Remain in Mexico”. he could reimplement them today and solve the border crisis. But he won’t do that.

    It looks like her head is too large for her body. Ten years ago I would blame photoshop. Now it is likely a picture made by AI.

    Happy Martin Luther King, Jr Day to all!!

    Excerpts from his “I Have a Dream” speech on Aug. 28, 1963, as part of the March on Washington.

    Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
    …
    There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, when will you be satisfied? We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.
    …
    So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
    …
    I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

    I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

    I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little Black boys and Black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.

    I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
    …
    This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning: My country, ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims’ pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.

    And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that, let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

    And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty, we are free at last.

    Within a few years America passed the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts. Southern Democrats became Southern Republicans.

    “Let us close the springs of racial poison. Let us pray for wise and understanding hearts. Let us lay aside irrelevant differences and make our nation whole. Let us hasten that day when our unmeasured strength and our unbounded spirit will be free to do the great works ordained for this nation by the just and wise God who is the Father of us all.” – President Lyndon Johnson, 1964

    “My first job after college was as a teacher in Cotulla, Texas, in a small Mexican-American school. Few of them could speak English and I couldn’t speak much Spanish. My students were poor and they often came to class without breakfast and hungry. And they knew even in their youth the pain of prejudice. They never seemed to know why people disliked them, but they knew it was so because I saw it in their eyes.” – President Lyndon Johnson, 1965
