No, love the Challenger. It gets endless attention everywhere and is a blast to drive. But the Tundra is the logical decision both short and long term. Need a truck, I have two other project/sports cars.

Chinese EV stocks gain as Tesla halo spreads
Aug. 26, 2020 10:42 AM ET|About: Xpeng, Inc. (XPEV)|By: Clark Schultz, SA News Editor
The Chinese EV auto sector is buzzing with activity today.
Xpeng Motors (XPEV) plans to issue 85M ADSs at $15 per share to value the company at about $11B, sources tell Bloomberg. That mark is above the original expected pricing range was $11 to $13.
It is a very strong session for Chinese EV automakers in general, with Nio (NIO +7.4%), Li Auto (LI +7.1%) and Kandi Technologies (KNDI +7.6%) all posting gains. The biggest development of the day may have been Volkswagen's decision to use EV hotspot Hefei as a testing ground for a self-driving fleet. There is also the Tesla (TSLA +4.5%) halo to factor in.
What to watch: China automobiles sales for July will be reported next week in what will be an indicator on if consumer demand for EVs is increasing.

Sighhhhhhh
So I can trade my Challenger in for $44k and get a Tundra SR5 TRD Off Road Crew Max for $46k OTD at 2.49%
Ughhhh, almost pulled the trigger but my vanity is stopping me. Everyone absolutely loves the F8 Green. Hell had a dozen people at the dealer ship look at it and comment and one of the salsa guys even said he was texting his buddy who was interested in it.
Glad you choose to keep it.
Tesla catches new Street-high price target from Jefferies
Aug. 26, 2020 8:49 AM ET|About: Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)|By: Clark Schultz, SA News Editor
Jefferies slips in this morning with a price target boost on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to $2,500 from $1,200.
"Tesla's competitive edge in cars may soon start to shrink but continues to widen in multiple other dimensions, from brand leverage and software to battery capacity and industrial efficiency. In our view, nothing matters more on 'Battery Day' than understanding how the 'Million-mile' batteries could profoundly change the auto business model."
The PT boost is notable because it is a new Street high, but we are marking that with a digital pencil the way analysts are adjusting on the fly.

Yeah but I need a truck bruh.
Gotcha.
Having a truck or something similar that can haul shit is a must. Does it have to be new? First gen Tundras are absolutely bulletproof and pretty damn cheap.
Keep the Charger, add a beater Tundra/Truck to the mix.
First Gens are just gawd awful looking and still fetch $8-12k.
But as ME32 hit on, used market is just stupid right now.
99-06 Chevy's with 200k miles are $10-14k. Junked out OBS trucks for $6k. 2008 Tundra with 230k for $14k, etc.
Anything that seams reasonable is either 2WD, has no A/C or is salvage titled.
Just checked the local autotrader/offerup/CL and yep, you’re right.
How bad do you need a truck right now? If the answer is anything other than ‘badly’, then forget it and save your coin.

California approves $437M funding for EV charging infrastructure
Aug. 28, 2020 12:58 PM ET|About: Edison International (EIX)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor
The California Public Utilities Commission yesterday approved a $437M program for Southern California Edison (EIX +0.3%) to install nearly 40K electric vehicle chargers, which it calls the largest-ever U.S. utility program to expand charging infrastructure.
The CPUC says the program will help the state achieve its goal of 5M zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2030.
Half of the investment must take place in low-income communities, and 30% will be dedicated to multi-family residences.
Electric vehicle sales comprised only ~2% of the total automobile sales in the U.S. last year, but charging infrastructure is considered essential for widespread EV adoption.

anyone wanna take bets on them doing the math as to if their electric grid can even support that many chargers running?
They can't build more power plants, they are currently having rolling black outs and the plan is to put more stress on the grid?
With what money currently?
Not quite 0-84. But I did get invoice with $2k back and $4k more on my trade than just a month ago.
Looking good. Plans? Other than 3.0 Whipple?

No blower. Would like method wheels and mud terrains. If I move out of ca, headers. But nothing major.
Looks great, the black rims looks good on the red truck
