employed as well.RickyScott and sirspamalot!.. medgator low to mid millions per year likely. I’m employed so I get my one car every 10 years from CarMax.
Oh you just carry yourself better then me. I’m that doc that looks homeless 😂employed as well.
Debating things is what we do. It's generally not necessary. Either way you go things will be fineAnd here I am debating whether I should "treat" myself by buying a 50K genesis to upgrade from my 13 year old car

Straights would be an entirely different issue.

I heard he was in the drug cartel and invested in bitcoin early.How does medgator make so much money lol, does he own a machine or something

The other car enthusiasts in the video are in sales, oil and gas, natural gas commodities trading, Internet BS like SEO and affiliate marketing, UFC. High finance like PE and quant and FAANG are notoriously absent. My guess is this is on the gulf coast. I’m too lazy to look up the YouTuber’s location and city.
Anyways, the fact that we have a guess as to the identity of this rad onc suggests such rainmaker folks are the rare exception rather than the rule, like the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon with the $80 million mansion.
Has anyone bought or driven a Rivian? I'm kinda interested in one.
I sorta feel the same way about the company, though I did buy a bunch of stock earlier this year partly as an anti-Elon move, but mostly because all the press, etc seems to suggest that they are one of the stronger companies going forward. I presume this means something as well:I have several friends with them. They all absolutely love them. My only concern is regarding longevity of the company. If the company goes under, how easy will it be to get them serviced?
They are well capitalized for now. Plus Amazon still has a big stake in them. Bezos won't let Elon own the EV space alone I'm guessing. Like blue origin to SpaceX.I have several friends with them.

Why is it that every Tesla I see has paint already coming off the hubcap? What is up with their QC?They are well capitalized for now. Plus Amazon still has a big stake in them. Bezos won't let Elon own the EV space alone I'm guessing. Like blue origin to SpaceX.
I kinda like the cybertruck Halo warthog look. Hoping for matte gray with blacked out windows. Rivian is great for people who just want a normal looking truck, although it's a bit smaller than i expected. SUV looks sharp, seeing more of those
But with Tesla, you never can bye first 3-6 months off the line, unfortunately. Model 3 paint issues, model Y roofs flying off etc
Which ones? I'm guessing it's a 3 Y issue, the more expensive S and X hasn't had those problems. They really have grown way too fast at times. CS is abysmal/non-existent in some situationsWhy is it that every Tesla I see has paint already coming off the hubcap? What is up with their QC?
Tesla seems to take it's design cues from thunderstorms, which is perhaps why they sell so well in CA. If noone remembers what a raindrop looks like, their cars look stylish. And the cybertruck looks to be inspired by a lightning bolt or something, which is to say, not something anyone who actually needs a truck would ever want to drive.Why is it that every Tesla I see has paint already coming off the hubcap?

I'm the guy from the original post. Have had multiple EVs including the Rivian R1T. Feel free to ask any questions!Has anyone bought or driven a Rivian? I'm kinda interested in one.
Not exactly. I'm still practicing at the same clinic, and we never went belly up.I believe that rad onc was part of an initially very lucrative physician investor rad onc "real estate venture" that basically went belly up a few years ago. They were raking it in at the beginning (millions a year) but then competitors pushed back with their own ventures, and Mr. Stark caught up with the non rad onc investors and management company.
What is your preferred dose/fractionation for simple bone mets?I'm the guy from the original post. Have had multiple EVs including the Rivian R1T. Feel free to ask any questions!
Did you use electrify America much to long distance travel? The ones near me seemed empty/broken and read a story about it frying one rivian and making it undrivable.I'm the guy from the original post. Have had multiple EVs including the Rivian R1T. Feel free to ask any questions!
I'm choosing between a 911 and r1s. Kind of polar opposites, but I'd imagine you know both. Which would you rather generally drive?I'm the guy from the original post. Have had multiple EVs including the Rivian R1T. Feel free to ask any questions!

Haha. Just thinking targa4 for cruising on the weekends.Buy the 911 and track it

Rivian is switching to the Tesla SC network now though per recent news which makes me think EA is probably dead in the water
We have an EV and ICE right now, and I've yet to use a public charger in a year and a half, but of course, that's possible with 2 cars. I have a level 2 charger so doesn't take too long. But yes, if it were my only car I wouldn't have it. To your second point, I have enough solar panels to offset entirely house and EV consumption. It's pretty easy to pull of if you're willing and able to pay things up front, for example the power bill for the next 25 years or so presuming I can continue to sell excess power back to the grid for around what it costs.Unless charging gets to the point that it takes a few minutes to “refuel” like a pump, then i just don’t see it being practical for many. I could see something like hydrogen which you can “refuel” quickly being more practical. The other question is where is the energy to get hydrogen or charging coming from? Much of it still comes from fossil fuels and we are not there at all to get most of it from renewable sources.
R1s is just better in daily traffic, though i now switched over to EQS/Lightning/Lucid. All EV's are superior to ICE cars for daily use. I jump in my 911 Turbo S on special occasions though. I just wouldn't commute in any gas car anymore for a litany of reasons.I'm choosing between a 911 and r1s. Kind of polar opposites, but I'd imagine you know both.

If you own a home, charging is a non issue. Hydrogen is energy intensive to create, and the infrastructure will limit it to use in certain applications like mass transit or maybe construction vehicles. It's a non starter for the general public when BEV's are so damn good now.Unless charging gets to the point that it takes a few minutes to “refuel” like a pump, then i just don’t see it being practical for many.

EA is hit or miss. Other options will eventually supercede it, but for now, if you want to road trip an EV, Tesla is the best option, with their far superior SC network. These are the early days of electric transport, and in a decade range and charging will make ICE cars seem quaint. I am keeping my old gas cars in the collection either if they are manual transmissions, which offer a unique experience to connect with a machine, or track vehicles like the AMG GT3 from the video.Did you use electrify America much to long distance travel?
