Since 1974 Volkswagen has produced the massively popular Golf. It is VW's best selling model, and it is now in its 6th mark. It replaced the VW Beetle, but not straight away. VW Beetle production kept going until 1978 in Germany and until much later in Mexico. This transition from air cooled to water cooled engines was in part thanks to Volkswagen's access to Audi technology. The answer is easy if you know that Jetta is the German for 'Trade Wind'. The word Golf does not refer to the pleasant game which Europeans beat Americans at. It refers to the Gulf Stream, the warm water that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and that flows to the north west coast of Europe. Many of us started out our driving lives in a VW Golf. They were fun and reliable but even a quality car will need replacement parts and spares at some stage in its life. Volkswagen parts supply will be dwindling. With scarcity of supply goes a rise in price - so if you need Golf parts or spares at a reasonable price you may need help searching for them. Getting a search done at up to 250 breakers and scrap yards at one go could greatly improve your chances of sourcing that quality used VW engine or the body parts you need. It will probably save you a great deal of time and money. Let us help your search for cheap car spares. Cheap scrap car parts could help your Golf stay on the road at a reasonable price.

500 watts isn't a big deal in a car that may use 10 kWh or more per hour even in urban areas. Assuming a Model 3 with a efficiency of 200wh/mi at 60mph, going from 100w to 500w computer would be a 3% range loss. At 30mph and 180 wh/mi it would be a 7% range loss. That’s pretty significant. Enough for a robotaxi to earn one more fare between charges. A couple of things. First, what does net worth mean? If you have 10k to your name, there is no place for TSLA. Head over to /r/personalfinance and follow their advice. If you have 100k to your name it is more complex: do you need to feed a family? How much do you need for housing etc? TSLA swings widely and more than you think in your wildest dreams. Invest as much as you don’t need in the coming 10 years. If you buy, don’t sell unless you have made a profit (otherwise you just transfer money to the shorts), avoid margin and leverage.
PS: I’m amazed and disgusted how obvious the Wall St. circus manipulates stock prices. Tesla today is not materially different from Tesla last week and yet Wall St. fueled sentiment has changed dramatically. In the six figures. 1 kid, part time. Personal expenses are about avg. This will be collected over a couple year period right? Tesla's cash position seems quite solid now all considered. They barely have any 3 inventory, so why do this ? My guess is because few are leasing and mostly preferring to buy. So, they have to sweeten the lease. Had a chat with a mentor and friend about Tesla today and he asked about the rising risk profile on Tesla and concerns about the stock overall. Is climate change real? Usage Utility Market worth? Is Tesla the primary leader in the new market? I'd say yes based on demand and execution. Will Tesla continue to be the primary leader going forward? I'd say yes because they have the best lead and they're moving faster.
