Thank you! 💚
Clark can you please discuss the sudden new deal by Apartment Management Groups making it MANDATORY to except their cable packages when signing the Lease? Yikes 😳, even if you don’t want it. There’s an apartment complex here in Bolingbrook Illinois that does that. Thanks 🙏🏼 for all you do!
Clark & Christa & the C.H. Crew are STINKIN’ awesome !! 👏😂❤️ Trust the LORD & Have a great CHRISTmas!!

Merry Christmas To You All,

🎄🚥🌿🎅💚 LOL! Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas Clark and team. I've been listening since I graduated college (the first time!) 18 years ago. I get a lot of people asking me how do you guys go on so many vacations or how can you afford this or that brcause we don't have traditionally "high salary" jobs. That's when I invite them to listen to Clark Howard. All credit to you all!!
Is this you post-op?! Wow! Wishing you continued swift healing!
Great info 👍
Happy Healthy New Year Clark and Christa!
Happy New Year! 🎆🎆🎆
Favorite YT channel ever.
💚💚💚
Been watching your show about two months and love it. I'm old now and it's too late to heed most of your financial advice.
What you don't hear about in the EV world is the battery replacement costs..they are staggering.
True, but most manufactures have long warranties on the batteries. Also, there are more 3rd party companies that have replacement batteries for much less $ than the dealerships
Yes but what you don't understand the warranties are paid on a prorated basis EV'S fail yet again but the copers keep on coping @@je1921
Most car batteries have an 8 years 125,000 mile warranty. Batteries last longer than an internal combustion engines.
@@205rider8 Read my comment, The warranties are PRORRATED. Meaning if it dies at 7 years they only pay the equivalent of one year, you still need to PAY for a new battery less the value of one year!
Keep coping!
I started eating natto a few years ago after spending time in Japan and continued because of the health benefits.
It’s fermented soy beans. Acquired taste and smell.
Thanks for sharing the info and experience! 💚
You guys don't stink. Good info always . Merry Christmas 🎁
Merry Christmas! 🎄💚
22:31 Clark, your engineer is kinda right. The Ethanol in fuel is hygroscopic and if not used it draws moisture. If someone really is only filling 6x a year, pay the premium for ethanol free gas.
Bonus tip: if you have gas powered equipment around the home - also by ethanol free gas for them also.
We have a 2019 Camry hybrid, love the 50mpg. Don’t understand why hybrids it’s not adapted by more people.
Merry Christmas 🎄 Clark Team!
Merry Christmas! 🎄💚
Good thing Ckark removed the Samta cap, otherwise I was going to have nightmares!!😂. Merry Christmas to Clark, Christa & the team!
HA! 😂 Merry Christmas! 🎄💚
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! 🎄💚
I have a 14 year old hybrid still on the original IMA battery. I usually fill up every two to three weeks for about $20.00 each time. Love it. Except for regular maintenance the car has cost me nothing.
@User39. I'm sure the money I saved operating the car outweighs any depreciation loss. Also it helps the environment.
@User39. We differ in opinion & in the wallet.
@User39. Depreciation doesn't tend to matter much to people who never have any intent of selling, trading, or upgrading their vehicle. They are going to pay it off quickly and drive it until the wheels fall off. With 14 years already in the bag, @BobbiDoll may be one of those people. 🤷♂💚
@User39. I have no intention of getting rid of it Still it is worth about one third of the purchase price. And I am sure I have spent less on gas than you for the last 14 years. You can keep your nasty negativity to yourself.
@User39. I don't care about resell value. I don't sell or trade in any vehicle. Toyota sells every hybrid they make. They can't produce them fast enough. You don't know what you are talking about.
How long does that hybrid battery last and how much does it cost to replace that battery when it dies? I expect a car to last at least 200K miles or 20 years, whichever comes first.
I recently looked into this because I was interested in a used Lexus RX400h.
The Lexes service tech I spoke with said the earlier battery tech (pre lithium) has a life that’s more about age than miles. He said at 10 years old, the battery is a little past it’s half life and he typically sees 15-18 year life but sometimes as early as 12 years.
Also, today’s price for a factory battery (for the RX400h) is about $5000 installed. There are aftermarket batteries available at $3000 installed- but I can’t find any reliability info on the aftermarket ones.
I've got a Ford Maverick hybrid- works fine- will see how it works long term.
It will last a very long time. There are toyota prius taxis with over 300,000 miles on them. The Maverick uses a simple hybrid system.
I want the $1.25 glasses!
🎄😄🎄 ☮ to all
Same to you! 🎄💚
@Clark you said "An engineer said it so it must be true" don't you mean most likely be to be true, or something to that effect?
💯
#Bonusterm... "Clarkie-Swiftie." 😂Sounds like there's quite a few Clarkies who are Swifties too. LOL.
Love it! 💚 #bonusterm
The federal government requires manufacturers to offer an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on all EV batteries. California does one better, mandating a warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles. Some companies will cover a battery only if it completely stops working, while others will replace the battery if it falls below a certain capacity, usually 70% of the original, while still under warranty.

What about hybrid safety? First responders to an accident must identify a vehicle with a hybrid battery and disconnect the battery before rescue can be attempted.
Good point! As hybrids become more common, first responders will adapt with tools and procedures to rescue as safely, quickly, and efficiently as possible. 💚
…interesting… I would think manufacturers could easily design it to disconnect itself when there is an airbag deployment. Just build in the same charge on the plug.
Definitely do not go to any Fidelity office. Definitely DO open a Fidelity account.
12:40 Clark… rethink that statement. Americans don’t want AI devices to have a tolerance for any human death. It’s a deeper concern than just Americans wanting perfect.
CORRECTION.. The Camry will be only hybrid starting model year 2025.
Gasoline, as we know it today, comes out of suspension very easily. Don't let it sit around.
Not everyone has the ability to use electricity at home to plug in.
💯True!
Seat geek John!!! Lighten up😂. It's not a seat at a concert or a movie. The flight attendant can tell you where to sit whenever they want.
Unless I can go to the corner and charge the car in about 5 minutes, I am out.
May ALL reading this have a warm, healthy Merry Christmas. Mele Kalikimaka Clark and Christa and to those you cherish, AND always to Clark's AWESOME hard working team. Clark I hope your recovery is strong. Looking forward to continued education in 2024. Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!!! BTW..."nato" smells like unwashed feet on hot steaming days in enclosed shoes worn for a week without being removed.
👣Thanks for the stinky natto description and Happy Holidays to you! 🎄💚
Isn’t that a miss leading statement electric is more efficient than gas as from what I’ve read gas delivers more efficient power for the money. Im all for the use of hybrids not so keen all electric.
Nope, Clark is correct. 70 - 75 % of burned gas is wasted as heat while electric motors are extremely efficient. Yes, 2-3% of the electric is used for hvac, etc but all the rest is used to propel the vehicle.
@@je1921Does this also take into account the additional steps in distribution and sales of gas, oil, transmission fluid?
Also, gas-powered cars have tons of wasted motion, piston rods timing belt, cetera, almost the only thing moving on an e v is the motor.
@@dpporlandoThere are also many steps in electric distribution,etc, not just gas.
@je1921 Baloney, my Chevy volts range was half at freezing temps. First off the battery was much weaker from the cold, & the heater would drain more than the car. Electric cars loose their value much faster than gasoline powered cars. Nobody wants to pay for that battery that cost double the cars value. A Prius is a great car, but sorry Clark they cost much more than a gasoline powered Carolla.
I travel a lot. I cannot think of one person I know who use their covid money to get on a plane. This perception that the money was used frivolously, has got to stop. What you should be complaining about is the people who got covid money who were not supposed to get it. Thus draining the fun much quicker than needed. For example, the two Texas billionaires who got 32 million in covid relief, and used it to buy other companies that were suffering during the covid situation. Ted Cruz reworked the rules for them, even though their employees were considered essential. Why? Because they had previously contributed about five million dollars to his campaign.
By Covid money, I think he meant the money people didn't spend on traveling during that time. As in, lots of people stayed at home and saved money they would normally have used on vacations. Now, they're spending that money. That was true for my family
Clark doesn't have a prenup? He is so screwed in a divorce. I think we'll have another man discovering the red pill soon
