Volkswagen Readies A Refresh For The Jetta, Jetta Wagon To Become Golf Wagon

Great for Honda and great for GM.  18 000 units through October.   https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/q3-2024-ev-sales/ https://insideevs.com/news/737158/us-ev-sales-q3-2024/   Both those links say that EV sales hit a new high record in sales in the US.  GM is behind Tesla in 2nd place and Hyundai/KIA/Genesis is in 3rd place. I havent seen any Honda Prologues where I live, in Montreal or in my neck of the woods, but I do see plenty of Blazers and Equinoxes daily.  No EV Silverados or Sierras.  But I have seen 6 (in total) Hummers. 2 in my neighborhood and 4 on the island of Montreal. 1 downtown and 2 in Dorval and 1 on the highway 20 in Montreal.     I see quite a few F150 EVs though.  But not as nearly as much as I see Blazers and Equinoxes.  The Blazer is a recent addition in the line-up I think up here in Quebec and already in my neighborhood Ive seen at LEAST 10.  Ive only seen 1 Cybertruck.  On the highway 20 in Montreal. (Different days from the Hummer) and  I must admit that it looks very rad in the wild.  But I guess its because vehicles today are just soooooo damn bland that anything different is actually a GOOD thing. Even if its the Cybertruck...  Tesla Model 3s are ubiquitous. But so are the Hyundai/KIA EVs. And the Equinox is fast becoming that common too.  And the Blazer looks like it will join that club.      The article from insideevs states that 10% market share is within reach. I remember discussing this with a good internet friend by the name of @balthazar, which I miss dearly, he stated that it will take a loooong time before we reach 10% EV market share let alone 50%.   I do not remember what exactly was the timeline he was suggesting, but not to put that on his nose, just wanting to say that there IS a STRONG want for EVs in the US and Canadian market. Its just that those that do NOT want EVs have a very very VERY loud voice about denouncing them so they spread FUD and mis/dis information purposelly AND   purposefully...     I also wanted to point out, because PLENTY of us here was saying this to deaf ears, that WHEN OEMS FINALLY offer a DIVERSE option of EVs that actually CATER to the physically needs of consumers, then consumers WILL consume EVs. The lies spread about range and charging times delayed the EV purchases, but BECAUSE the PUSH for EVs was slightly MORE relentless, and THIS is what we got now. That little hiccup last year was because of delayed production due to various reasons, fear of FUD was one of them, but 10% in market share for 2025 is a GREAT place to be.  Too bad for DJT as THAT might put a kink in that growth.  Wait and see what happens next. 

Glad you are healing just fine.  Pretty soon you'll have to do knee exercises, squats...     When I read about link about the Lambo I was "yeah, no big deal. Insurance will pay and Lambo will repair."  Thinking it was a brand new Lambo...   Yeah...not a good thing. They dont make those no more.  Insurance money is ok, but parts are hard to come by.  So not a good thing.

After years of Body building, PowerLifting from the Age of 12 and Slalom racing from the age of 5 here in the PNW, my body finally caused my right meniscus pad to rip in two, if it was a partial tear in the front where the blood vessels are, it could have healed on its own taking it easy for a year, sadly the full tear does not heal in the back and causes pressure on the nerves causing my leg to fail due to extreme pain when I pinch the nerve. The doctor here popped my knee apart, went in with orthoscopic tools and stitched up the meniscus pad and then popped my knee back together. Up and moving around in small stints as I Ice and let the swelling go down, 7 days of minimal movement to allow everything including the two access points to heal up. Hardest ever as I am such an active person, this sitting is driving me nuts. Still sleeping allot, but been ages since I slept like this, so probably good for the whole body and mind. From a usual 5 to 6 hours of sleep a day to about 12hrs now, but will probably end back up to my normal once things heal. OUCH, this sucks as it happened here in Washington. Good thing the trucker has insurance. Lamborghini Diablo Falls Off Truck During Failed Delivery

I wouldn't mind retiring to somewhere walkable where I don't need to drive, but can drive when I want to..
