OT Oil Prices down to $1 a barrel!

Now listen to my story 'bout a man named Don,
Small minded man, his wealth was just a con.
And then one day, when he was eatin' KFC,
Up from the Dems, came a big conspiracy.

Covid19 that is, just the flu, nothing bad.

Well the next thing you know, it's maybe not a hoax
The magafolks said "He's the president I trust most"
Said "Fake News is spreading so much lies!"
So they opened up the streets, while everybody dies.

Trump, that is. Ownin' the libs, winnin' again...

 

[julius]

I wish it was time to say good bye to Don and all his fam.
And they would like to thank you folks for believing in his scam.
You're all invited back next year to see him leave us be,
As we watch him leave with his lack of dignity.

Embarrassment he is. Lack of tact. Quite the bully.

Just leave. Please.

 

[magnifier661]

Joes got no flow, no glow, no show.
He thinks he can overcome the Orange man show?
The media, their attacks, and still Orange Man Stands?!
Maybe their game is as lame as their fans.
Russia, Impeachment, covid-19?
Even crashing economy wont make him weak.
2020 gonna be lit, on fire, a blaze,
Cuz MAGA lives and MAGA stays.

I just found out if you buy the more expensive Tesla, you get free unlimited supercharging.

Yep, at every Tesla Super Charging Station.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yep, at every Tesla Super Charging Station.

I live in an apartment, with no way to charge. I wonder if this is a feasible lifestyle to just charge at charging stations.

I have 6 supercharging stations within 5 miles of me. I mean they last like 300 miles or so.

I probably spend $200 a month in gas.

It is honestly, especially if most your driving is to and from work.

Finance is $1400 a month with 10k down. lol.

I'd rather just get a corolla i think. I mean not as cool, but probably more reliable

Those hybrids are pretty cool. The ones where a full charge won’t use gas for 50 miles.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I dunno, I'd rather get all gas I think. When they are in all electric mode they are cool, but as hybrids they get super fucking laggy

You can get used ones for way cheaper

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Used what? Tesla?

I wouldn't touch a used one with a 10 ft pole.

IF I were to get one, I'd get the one with full auto-driver. The one where you can have it automatically come to you and shit like that.

More likely getting a compact SUV next though.

It would be cool if they could drive off and go charge themself.

I suggested a guy do that once. He slugged me.

Having a charger at home isn't that expensive to "fill up"... just a few dollars per fill and you save the time of having to wait around a supercharging station. I'd rather the car charge while I'm sleeping and then I can do whatever I want with my day. Now if you happen to be traveling far or are near a supercharger for something else sure use the "free" fill from an $80k car is a benefit.

If you have large gas costs in the future one idea is just buy correlating investment in oil 1+1.5+2 years out. Right now its cheap. Then if the price of oil (and gas) go back up your investment made cash to offset rising fuel cost. If oil stays crazy cheap your investment doesnt make money or heck even loses a little but your gas costs will be very cheap.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Actually just buying the UGA ETF fund might be a way to do this.. or options on that fund... heck I might look at doing this myself its basically like locking in cheap gas prices.

My longer term plan is to buy a place in Las Vegas while keeping my apartment in LA. That means I'll be driving from LA to Vegas twice a month. So I was wondering if getting a Tesla is cost effective, especially in light of free supercharging over the long term. Autopilot would also be pretty nice for something like that as well.

Initial thought is no, and its cheaper to get like a $20k gas effective car that's reliable. Need to run the numbers though.

Going to Vegas 100%. Tesla purposely put super stations on that route in key areas.

Getting a gas car will be much cheaper. Buy a Tesla if you want to blow money on a luxury toy; not to save money. Twice a month is not crazy miles. Now if your saying you'll put on 60,000 miles a year buying a brand new car and selling it in 12 months can actually be cheaper than a used car. But even there I suspect gas will be cheaper than a Tesla.

Yeah, I would rather use the money for more house

Cost effective would be buying the apartment right next to yours instead of something in Vegas.

Nah, I can claim Nevada residency (no state income tax) and write off my apartment as a biz expense.

Mortgage on a house would also be less than rent.
