Long time no-write. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Not to hijack the thread, I wanted to briefly tell Spike that I bought a Tesla this week! I recall him talking about Tesla’s in the past. I got a Model 3 Long Range Awd 2018. My high performance modified 2006 wrx sti blew the motor so I’m coming from a beast. The Tesla is not leaving me feeling deprived with 0-60 in 4 secs!! In silence except tire noise. It’s a full self-driving model. It will come pick me up when it’s parked so I don’t have to walk to it. I’ve never been more impressed with a vehicle or piece of technology. Last time I felt that way with the iPhone I think. The prospect of no more gas and oil changes is great! Gas prices are so sensitive it seems. I feel blessed. It’s loads of fun. Elon Musk has a great thing going here. -Henry </div><div dir="ltr"><br><div dir="ltr"></div><blockquote type="cite">On Mar 18, 2022, at 5:59 PM, Adrian Tymes via extropy-chat <extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">First off, subtract the oil that goes to uses other than gasoline.<div><br></div><div>Then deduct the portion going to other people (such as Europe, especially right now).</div><div><br></div><div>Then consider just how big our demand for/use of gasoline is.</div><div><br></div><div>Those three factors should explain most of the problem.
