Thanks, completely agree on the model y suspension…rides like a go kart. Fine on perfectly smooth roads. Rides much better on the winter tires with smaller wheels. ---

Fine with me, that’s why I have low deductibles and all sorts of good insurance stuff. Production is ramping up, service centers are doing better with getting parts at more reasonable times / prices. I mean if I buy a 760iL and the motor blows, I can’t be mad that a new one costs 50k, can I? ---

Yup, read that. Besides Austin, most of those markets are in pockets of “potential declining market” Try the other cities AKA Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and their markets are insane as ever. Why would you sell your home in Canada? Take some money out of it and rent it out. I’m sure you’ve had it for a while and like you said - you built a shit ton of equity in it. ---

Take some money out of it and rent it out. I’m sure you’ve had it for a while and like you said - you built a shit ton of equity in it. tax reasons. if you dispose of a primary residence AFTER you’re left the country you have to pay enormus capital gains. have a friend trying to do this with a $2.2m CAD home… several hundred grand in taxes. worse than selling a commercial building. primary reason for not having pulled the trigger is because there is so much in the air about our US operations that there is no particular reason to move to any particular place yet. ---
