    Phevs have more options. You can’t take the same risks with a bev

    I travel solo, and even when I wasn't, I preferred to stop to eat for the change in scenery and seats.

    Owning a PHEV, I generally agree. But BEV limitations are much more easily handled as the fast DC charging network 'silently' expands. Having a CCS-1 charging option added to my Tesla doubled the number of fast DC chargers even as the CCS-1 chargers are unreliable, often slower, and expensive.

    I wish Telsa would allow us to specify that a destination point needs preconditioning. That way, we could select a fast charger other than Tesla and arrive with an optimal battery temperature for fast charging. Right now, you have to "fool the system" by telling it you're going to a Supercharger instead, but maybe there are no Supercharger nearby. What now? Wait at the fast charger as it heat up the battery first? Not efficient.

    Those of us who like to stop and smell the roses are fine with long distance travel in a bev.
    And those who are late for an important date drive hybrids

    ... and spend a night along the way, on my most important route, as described earlier.

    The rose fields where my household stops and smells and hikes, still don't have charging stations. Though some of the ski fields now do.

    As stated earlier in post 1465 if you like risky investing in single stocks you are missing the boat if your not tracking the Pelosi's insider trading schemes to base your Porfilio on

    Nancy Pelosi Scores Whopping Payday On Controversial Stock Trade – State of the Union

    "Crazy.

    Pelosi has now made 10 years worth of salary through her $NVDA trade.

    She's up ~$1,800,000 in just 92 days.

    No, but married to a wealthy venture capitalist who pulls in far more than she does, and reporting together as community property. But John leaves Paul Pelosi's name out.

    It isn't like Nvidia's outsized role in the AI explosion isn't public knowledge. It would be an issue only if the Pelosis were trading on inside or non-public information. TBD.

    One thought about the upcoming, stockholder vote. If the Musk compensation plan fails, it is likely Musk and key employees will leave and the Tesla stock would crash. The week before the vote is announced, there should be deafening claims about a possible vote failure that may cause a local minimum in the Tesla stock price.

    I voted my shares but my broker, Vanguard, has a significant stake, ~7%. If Vanguard votes against Musk, I'll verify, research, and move my shares to my next broker.

    Elon's practice is to cut until you you have to add back, 10%. Apparently the previous manager did not comply so Elon solved the problem.

    When I was working at General Electric (GE), they had good engineering practices but difficulty in trimming the dead-wood and incompetent but instead, Jack Welch 'scorch the earth' management. There were more than a few whose presence wasted time, labor, and money. So I resigned from GE four times:
    • My late wife and a security clearance were not compatible. So they had a non-classified job that needed filling.
    • A personality conflict between me and a development manager had come to a head. They moved me to operations from development.
    • My operations group had lost the follow-on contract so it was time to change. They put me in charge of a section in the remaining contract group.
    • The integration and test engineer, I got a cold call from a former co-worker to work on a NASA contract. That one worked, three weeks later, my peers were fired (and successfully sued for age discrimination.) Six months later, the project was relocated to Florida. About a year later, the whole division was sold to Lockheed Martin.
    There has to be some staff turnover or the organization will become rife with the worst kind of supervisors and employees. But sometimes, this is a hard problem to solve. Yet curiously, those who find or assigned to a new job often excel at their new tasks . . . square peg and round hole. More than 2 out of 3 succeed in a new assignment but about 1 out of 5 fail a second time and need to find another job.

    So glad to own shares of this stock only as part of a much larger combination of mobility companies through different ETF's.

    Absolutely no need to pay attention to any of the current ongoing nonsense/monkeyshines.

    Index and other (mostly broad) mutual funds for me, an only slightly different boat. Virtually no chance of "beating the market", but much more reliable boats to rise with the tide.
