The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Addison Lee is the biggest taxi company in London. They bought a bunch of electric VW ID4s as part of a plan to lower emissions in downtown London. To find out that it's tough to keep an electric vehicle in commercial use charged up. They are now getting fossil fueled vehicles.

Hertz in the US is getting rid of 20,000 Teslas after finding out that people don't want to rent them and that turning them around between rentals takes longer for charging.

And Pilot has nice toilets and sells snacks and drinks at a huge markup.

I think Pilot is going to do just fine.

(And if Buc-ees was publicly traded, I'd invest in that too. It's like a nano-Disneyland)
