Here is how long a 6-year car loan takes to pay off:
– No extra payments = 6 years
– 1 extra payment each year = ~5.5 years
– 2 extra payments each year = 5 years
– 3 extra payments each year = ~4.6 years
– 6 extra payments each year = ~3.7 years
– 12 extra payments each year = ~2.7 years
@JeebsTX I wish more people knew this. If you have extra money, pay off the debt faster. Don’t let the bank make money off you, take advantage of them 💯
SpaceX should put some Starlinks around the moon, drop a Cybertruck on the surface with a retractable solar panel for charging, let the truck FSD literally anywhere it wants, and livestream it back to earth.

I grew up mostly raised by my grandparents — staunch Union Democrats. My grandfather (born 1901) started working at age 11 on the new oil refineries near Spindletop in Beaumont, TX, right after that legendary gusher. He spent 55 years as a manual laborer and die-hard union worker, helping build America’s energy infrastructure before retiring in 1967.
He came home beat every day. Work was tough back then, but so were the men. He loved this country, loved seeing it grow and prosper. He didn’t hate the men who signed his paycheck — though the union fought them when needed. Both sides were made of tough men. They fought, but they also shared the goal of building something bigger.
He loved Horatio Alger stories. He loved progress. My grandmother said he was glued to the TV during the Moon landing. He was proud when I joined the Marines at 18. He didn’t just love America — he wanted it to win.
He was the Democratic party of the 1930s-1960s. He's the man who taught me all of the values I carry with me today.
I don’t recognize today’s Democratic Party. It feels completely foreign to me, divorced from the values I learned at my grandparents feet. The Democrats at the Carpenters Union Hall where my grandfather would meet from time to time were strong men, body and mind, and they loved this country. Most had served and fought for this country. Today’s Democrats seem like weak miserable people who hate progress. This hit home for me today when I see DNC voices on X attacking Elon and everything he builds, when they should be proud that all of this is happening in America.
I’m proud to stand with this Tesla and SpaceX community. That is my party. Not Democrat, not Republican, but Tesla/SpaceX nerds who couldn't get nailed in woodshop. We have our squabbles for sure. But we’re all excited about the future. We want America to lead in AI, robotics, autonomy, and space exploration. I am so proud to throw my lot in with you crazy people.
@JCChristopher Gotta zoom zoom 🏎️ I was hoping to have better incentives for the end of the quarter but looking at the current inventory levels of the Y I just don’t see it happening.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.
