very poor baby if you have to drive a truck or large SUV for work every day. If you don’t think those costs aren’t going to be passed on to consumer you’re nuts. If gas is still this high come July and August, it will be a GOP massacre come November. Most people don’t give a rat’s ass about Iran and the Mullahs, but they do care about their pocketbooks. I must put $50 of gas in my van today and didn’t get 10 gallons. Doesn’t bother me much, but if I was putting a couple of hundred miles a week on my van, I’d be pissed.

Das Schadenfreude :)

I got paid to fill up both Tesla today. Power is negative right now I am filling both Tesla and all my Powerwalls too.

But EV bad bros, right well given that my Model 3 cost less than the S60 Volvo it replaced it’s been cheaper since mile one.

It takes 250 wh / mi so 1 kWh sends it 4 miles. Retail power is 9 cents per kWh I don’t pay that I have a VPP and get wholesale power to and from the grid with panels feeding the outbound side.

9 cent power is equal to 67 cents per gallon gasoline must be less than that price in a 28 mpg Volvo to equal the same cost per mile as 9 cents per kWh.

Grob Schadenfreude!

Enjoy the suck ICE bros you deserve it. We laughing all the way to the bank.
