OPEC not worried about EV's

Luckily non OPEC nations are loosening OPEC's grip.
Now, what, in the USA, are we going to do about the Dealer cartel?

 

When Standard Oil was broken up, it seems to have had an effect, opposite to increasing competition:

excerpt from Wikipedia:

Standard's president, John D. Rockefeller, had long since retired from any management role. But, as he owned a quarter of the shares of the resultant companies, and those share values mostly doubled, he emerged from the dissolution as the richest man in the world. The dissolution had actually propelled Rockefeller's personal wealth.​

 

What the government fails to do for us, dealerrater.com and google reviews can help.

 

Support the honest guys, so they don't always finish last.

 

Here is an excellent start to the standard oil story.
A History of the Standard Oil Company and its successors

But the break up probably provided better service to consumers and faster growth than the old monopoly. The statements of course are true, we need to learn from history. The nixon price controls and carter wind fall profits tax really ended up stregthening opec and hurting american interests. The problem when nixon slapped on price controls was not that oil was too expensive, it was that it was too cheap and americans were getting addicted. Nixon fed the adicts with both price controls on oil and natural gas, as well as tarrifs to import more fuel efficient cars.

The claim was protecting the american people from big bad oil companies, but what it did was act as a drug dealer to the OPEC oil cartel.

 

I guess that should have been "nice guys" but same thing.

 

As soon as I get my Tesla Model3, screw OPUKE!

 

Buy more Canadian oil and screw OPEC, but nevermind...
Let's not open that can of nightcrawlers.

 

Model X is one year away, 2016 TeslaX
Model 3 is about 3 years away, 2018 Tesla3*

 

It's like buying a computer; the longer you wait, the better it will be and the better the price.

 

2018? Who'll wait that long? Nah, we'll all be in Mirai's by then lol. Yeah ok, maybe not.

 

1 year away would make it a 2015 model.
Tesla has this bizarre issue where they call a car built in 2015, a 2015 car

 

lol you mean like EVERYWHERE else in the World?

Always thought it strange that my 2009 built gen3 is classed as a 2010 in the US even though it could have been sold in June 2009. Strange.

You don't know how happy it makes me to hear they do it correctly in the rest of the world
Most rediculous thing I have ever seen.

 

Reminds me of wind-chill numbers, something it isn't.

 

That pretty much fits my time table!!!
