This is the most important comment I have heard this week — Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk:

“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians […] Europe, if there is something we lack today, it is not economic or demographic power, but the belief that we are truly a global force.”

I think Tusk hits the bullseye here. Those 140 million Russians are already fully occupied by fighting Ukraine, and our leaders act like we are Liechtenstein.

OK, from the replies, some useful tidbits:

- To end a Tesla lease early, you don’t have to pay the full amount remaining — only the balance •minus• the car’s current resale value.

- Cars depreciate, so you’ll lose some money. But…

- …if the used market is dropping fast, Tesla’s official resale value will probably lag behind reality. Thus breaking a lease actually •can• take money straight out of Tesla’s pockets.

- To maximize this strategy, people should break their leases •soon• and •simultaneously•. Coordinate a campaign!

Would still really, really, really like somebody with professional expertise to work all this out.

I'll be making my way to the Retro Computer Museum's Legendary Gathering in Leicester next Saturday (8th March). Anyone here also going?

Will happily talk for hours about my 32 years of development for the SAM Coupe! I'll have a selection of SAM/retro goodies with me; some interfaces, SAM Revival magazines and my new SAM PCB keyrings which help support everything I do for the SAM.
