Apple doesn’t put their hand in the consumers pocket.

It’s a conscious decision to take a credit card / cash out and buy this ludicrous item.

I should’ve bought Apple stock lol

I bought a bunch in 2008. Average cost was under $100 USD per share. Since then stock has split 28 for 1 and is running at ~180 USD. Dividend sucks but I spin it out instead of reinvesting in aapl and use it to add diversity.

I won'd debate some of their stuff is stupidly priced. The casters are a good example.

The rest of their products, not particularly out of line when you make apples to apples comparisons on what you get for the money, and the **** lasts. Like, seriously, it lasts. Problem is people want to compare costs on apples to oranges and get their panties in a twist over it, ie trying to compare M1 Macbooks to Walmart specials which is like comparing a Porche to a Cavalier.

I still have a 2008 Macbook that still boots up perfectly fine to this day despite having been to hell and back, and I have a Powerbook squirreled away in my basement somewhere that I'm sure would also power up if I cared to try. Also have my old 2012 Macbook, and my current daily driver is a 2015 Macbook Pro which still blazes and does what I need it to do perfeclty fine, including editing 4k60fps drone video, etc.

Still have our Gen2 (2011) iPad which still boots and operates just fine. Limited use now as the OS is needless to say way out of date, but still works for the very basics., at 13 years of age.

All our old iPhones have lasted many, many years. My daughter was still rocking a 5 year old iPhone up until a year ago when she finally upgraded...still working, and still software supported at the time - that's actuall a big deal for those who care about their security and longevity of their hardware.

I don't play the "it's a cult" nonsense, I just like hardware that works all the time, lasts a long time, and is secure from a security standpoint and is from a company that values that security and data privacy.

My 3G still boots up and works fine. The old 30 pin module is actually better sonically for playing audio files than the Lightning is. With 8 Gb storage it's not much use even as an iPod, though.
 
Fisker somehow took this far enough to put the Ocean into production. I saw one on the road a few days ago.

IIRC the company behind the Fisker Ocean is not the company that was behind the Fisker Karma some years ago. I'm not even sure what the common thread is between the two. There were so many corporate ownership changes that I don't know what's what, although to be honest, I haven't really tried to keep track of it. Almost as messed up as that whole Nikola hydrogen-fuel-cell-truck fraud (and somehow, a descendent of that company is in business, too).

Building road vehicles is hard.

they are teetering on bankruptcy, and looking for a suitable partner to bail them.

last I heard, NIssan was in the running.

I'm interested to see what toy a guy in the neighbourhood has for the summer. Two summers ago was an F Type. Last summer was an R8. Near the end of last summer, at various times he had a Turbo S and GT3 RS. A turbo S was dropped off a few weeks ago so maybe that won? So far they haven't had a single BEV/hybrid. The rest of the family fleet is RSQ8 and RS6 (for the kid) and something else. I heard a rumour their other kid was getting an R8 for the summer but haven't seen it yet. Dad seems to be interested in cars. Mom makes the money. I'm surprised she doesn't have a ludicrous tesla X/S. Maybe dad would be sad that the mom-mobile was faster than his toys.

So the weather is really nice. Wife pulled out an R8. Husband pulled out a Turbo S. I guess they decided both was better than one.
 
I wouldn’t get too excited. 81% is most likely cars ordered last year and then delivered after a year or more wait.

The 25% seems more realistic.

Could just be a February thing that looks good with the 81%.

I’d be more interested total annual sales 2022-2023-2024. Last year still had a lot of empty lots and very long delivery times.

Saw a Mach E on the 401 doing about 150+ today while making the final stretch home from the ride east today.

Dude probably complains why he isn't getting the range the car was quoted to get, and can't figure out why.
