The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“To get this back to Berkshire, I think the market size for hybrid cars is probably a lot bigger…”

That’s where me and most of my 50 something cronies fall, although most Tesla owners I know are quite pleased. Currently, I’d strongly consider a hybrid but not EV. My golf buddy recently bought a 2nd vehicle for trips, a new Honda Accord hybrid and he gets nearly 50mpg. I hope to wear out my old Toyota SUV for another couple years (2008 260K miles)!

Amazing that Charlie saw the potential in BYD in 2008 and really went to bat for our investment. Wow, have they ever delivered, on many levels! Hybrids with 1300 mile range-amazing!
