Is/n't Tesla literally/figuratively crashing?

[Cleverness]

MA is anywhere from 3.59 to 3.79 and dropping.

I've been hearing stories from NY that gas is pretty scarce and being rationed atm.

In Brooklyn, at least the parts here that weren't badly damaged, it's more of a first come first serve thing from what I've been told when it comes to gas for vehicles. The gas truck comes in, then a line of cars 2-3 blocks long begins, and it goes like that until the gas is gone, and the cycle repeats itself for each gas station that finally gets a shipment in. My dad is a taxi driver so the whole thing has pissed him off obviously. He's already talked about raising the rates abit to compensate until things get back to normal. Thankfully he was smart and got a full tank right before Sandy hit, so he didn't really need to refill till around Sat/Sun.

I know in parts of Staten Island they've been handing out gas to people who use generators since power is out in several areas. And the Rockaways has turned into some sort of post apocalyptic area when light falls due to all the looting and such.

Took a picture of this in my area (Wappingers Falls, NY). Pretty sure this was a joke, but there was about 10-15 trucks pulling into the station as I took the shot. They came in demanding all the pumps be opened. They were some power company with cherry pickers and whatnot. For reference, my area was barely touched as far as Sandy goes. Live just over an hour from the city. A few days ago no gas stations in my area had any gas whatsoever. Its insane how its affecting all these areas.

Gas went up 18 cents today in MN. This is clearly Obama's fault for being reelected.

Bachmann is insane and I apologize for my state inflicting her opinions on the country.

[Pirian]

Gas is 3.19 and falling where I am, lol

[Blackice]

3.75 and falling in eastern WA.

Gas prices are going to go down until the verdict on the fiscal cliff is out. Now we know that obama is in and he plans to raise taxes and slightly cut spending - this is somewhat deflationary so the stock market and gas prices will both go down.

I think that we'll fail to balance the budget again though when it's all said and done, and they will go up again.

They want me to finalize my reservation...I think I'm going to have to push it back a bit, gotta get my down payment together (after fixing the roof, renovating the kitchen/bathroom and building a deck in the backyard, fuck)

[Roranora]

click that shit son

that is tighter than a gnat's ass

[archibaldcrane]

Gotta push it off, I wanna get at least 25k together for the down payment - shouldn't be a problem by later in the summer, just gotta make sure they don't wanna deliver it in April or some shit (and I can't control when I get it once I finalize). Plus I've gotta upgrade the electrical system in my house so I can actually plug it in!

[BaneTheBrawler]

Being able to fuel your vehicle is generally a good thing, yes.


Still, thing is awesome and I wish I could afford one.

[Mazmaz]

Naw fuck that renovation crap.
