    For the rest of us ... but I do love me a good brisket during the in-laws' Hanukkah party.

    couldn't agree more, i guess i've just given up trying to change things outside of my sphere of influence.

    Mirai sales... LOL. That being said, I have been seeing a handful of Mirai around LA freeways the past few days, and even saw a Hyundai Tucson FCEV yesterday.

    well ... this was a fun zombie thread to go back over. Even discounting the typical Seeking Alpha crowd that would constantly drone on about never making profit, soon to go under, the OP lambastes the model 3, years before it arrives, then later - gets a Prime, then lambastes it in another post - because it runs the ice in Sub-Zero temperatures. (sigh) Meanwhile, as the model 3 small battery crowd wait their turn ......... one can't help but note - Model S used with miles in the mid 30K's ... can be had for roughly the same price as a new Model 3 - except it'll get free supercharging AND a bigger battery.

    never mind that it'll keep its pack nice & toasty in sub zero temps when left plugged in .... hmmm ...
    tough choice

    Hopefully they waited for the Feb 28th price drops!

    I forgot this thread existed, until the "Watched Threads" robot sent it back to the top! Tideland still lists a Prius Prime in his title, so he's still holding off.
