Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

Thanks for the scoop! I rarely drive more than 3 hours without a restroom/meal/fuel stop. My main concern is finding a charging spot and needing to wait to for an adequate charge. I looked for Tesla in my area and only Milwaukee has a dealership in the state and that is four hours away. Minnesota has two dealerships and that would be about two hours closer. I will check them out. Thanks again!!

WOW! Good thing Hunter Biden wasn't elected to anything, and hasn't been given a position in government, huh? Whew--we dodged a bullet there!

Looks like case drops are leveling off now. The new more contagious variants are likely taking over in the US. We really need a solid vaccination plan.

yeah maybe

could have been the bad weather causing a holdup in reporting that is being caught up to now.

I'm holding off until next week to see.

Since both cases and deaths have nosed up (usually they are not synchronized like this), I think it might be a reporting artifact, not actually what is going on in the nation.

Good news is that nursing home deaths are way down.

Since the arrival of vaccines, which were prioritized to long-term care facilities starting in late December, new cases and deaths in nursing homes, a large subset of long-term care facilities, have fallen steeply, outpacing national declines, according to a New York Times analysis of federal data. The turnaround is an encouraging sign for vaccine effectiveness and offers an early glimpse at what may be in store for the rest of the country, as more and more people get vaccinated.

From late December to early February, new cases among nursing home residents fell by more than 80 percent, nearly double the rate of improvement in the general population. The trendline for deaths was even more striking: Even as fatalities spiked over all this winter, deaths inside the facilities have fallen, decreasing by more than 65 percent.

Bad news is that cases are not decreasing. NY and NJ numbers look troubling.

There needs to be a nationwide campaign to educate people of benefits of getting vaccinated and a plan to get shots into people's arms. We're 2 months into the rollout and we are only at 1.4 millions shots/day. That is pathetic.

You don't need a dealership. It takes less than 60 seconds to order a Tesla online. Then they will deliver the car to your house.

You probably won't need repairs, but if you do they have mobile service units that can handle most problems.

Yeah, or wait about a year and Tesla will have three models with over 500 miles of range.

Crackpipe Hunter not only slept with his brother's wife, he slept with her married sister too. Yet he is the best man that Joe knows.

From my limited research it sounds like I will definitely need to wait. The youtuber below says he lost 35% in cold weather and his cold weather is much warmer than my last road trip last week.

Wow, the used versions are crazy expensive!

EV's do lose range in cold weather (gas cars do too, btw). I didn't watch the video so I don't know if he was using a newer model Tesla, which comes with a heat pump. That helps a lot in cold weather.

35% loss in weather that's 10 to 20 degrees fahrenheit does sound about right to me. But that's still a good 4 hours of driving before you need to stop.

If you are serious about buying a Tesla or any EV, you could go on turo.com and rent one for a weekend. Then do a road trip and see what you think about it.

My old 2017 EV only gets 238 miles of range and I've done lots of long road trips. It takes a little longer but you make up the time by not going to the gas station when you are at home.

Hunter Biden’s foreign profits:

$3.5M from the Mayor of Moscow’s wife

$100,000 account with a Chinese businessman

$1,454,034 from his time on the board of Burisma

$4,790,325 in “consulting fees” from a CCP-linked company

How much of that went to “the big man” Joe Biden?

the big test starts next week. UPS says it will have 40% more vaccine deliveries **next week.**

I'm really hoping that means giant vaccine centers will open up soon.

NYC has 420,000 doses sitting on the shelf right now, already. For example.

You're right to suggest education to create demand.

Although by the third week of march I suspect most states will be vaxxing 50 year olds, which should create some lines.

Yes, the Tesla Model S is the best car you can buy. They hold their value very well.

Even the original 2012 Model S had 265 miles of range. Nine years later, there is still no non-Tesla car available that can beat it.

I think dementia is a bitter, cruel disease and I don’t wish it on my worst enemy. Joe Biden’s rages are based, however, in the fundamental reality that a lifetime of lies and corruption destroys the soul. Whatever cognitive impairment that may exist is a just a cofactor.

Democrats are nasty.

Correction. The Mustang Mach E is available, which does beat 265 miles. And it's worth considering because you get a $7500 tax credit.

Teslas no longer qualify for the credit unless the GREEN Act passes.

DO NOT buy an EV in the next couple of years. Battery tech will drive the cost down and mileage up but won’t get to a decent level for a while. Plus it’s difficult to find a charger now. Nothing like pulling up to a location that has chargers as parking stations and people just parking in the space all day. It’s no fun being a beta tester.

In CA it can be easier to find a charger than a gas station. Plus preferential parking at many places. Plus HOV lane access. Can you afford NOT to have an EV in CA?

I would say if you need a new car now, get an EV. You are an idiot if you buy a gas car.

But if you can wait, then EV's will indeed get better and cheaper.

I've actually had a ton of fun in my EV since 2017. Back then, it was a challenge to go on long road trips in a non-Tesla. You had to do a lot of extra planning to figure out where you would stop and charge. But these days, it's a breeze.
