Tesla takes over one market segment: Here's why traditional automakers fear further losses
"Mercedes is still the best-selling manufacturer when you combine their two vehicles in this class. But it’s clear that Tesla is eating into the traditional automakers with its single offering, and the trendlines are heavily in its favor. Given the choice between a storied premium brand or an electric upstart, an increasing number of buyers at this income level are choosing electric"

Home sizes and prices expand nationwide
Home sizes and prices expand nationwide
New homes in the U.S. are getting bigger as the economic strife of the recession becomes a memory. Yet, with the larger homes comes a bigger price tag. The average price of a new home in 2015 was $351,000, up $100,000 from 2009. The average home climbed to roughly 2,720 square feet last year – up from 2,660 in 2014. This represents the second largest average new home size since 2009, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
The increased home sizes follows historical trends of home sizes in post-recession periods. Square footage tends to decrease during economic uncertainty as both buyers and builders look to cut costs. As the economy continues to rebound, high-end homebuyers are returning to the market, causing demand for larger properties to increase.
Low interest rates and low down-payment options are providing families with opportunities to purchase larger homes and still maintain a comfortable budget. Conforming no point 30-year fixed mortgage rates are averaging 3.75 percent and 15-year rates are near 3.125 percent.

hard to find a video of 2700sq feet. It's either above or below.
So this is the type of home the "average" new home buyer is purchasing in the USA
2700 sq ft
2600sq ft
2600sq ft
2800sq ft
So this is the type of home the "average" new home buyer is purchasing in the USA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Day
So to get people to switch to LED's in honor of Earth Day one of the electric companies in my state offered discounts on Cree LED bulbs.
Price: $0.97 for a 27 year, 450 lumen, 6W, dimmable bulb (40W equivalent)
Price: $1.65 for a 23 year, 350 lumen, 5W, dimmable candelabra bulb (40W equivalent)
Price: $1.97 for a 27 year, 815 lumen, 9/10W, dimmable bulb (60W equivalent)
The 75W and 100W had slight discounts.
So after buying a carriage full of bulbs I've pretty much switched over to LED's.

49 Million U.S. Internet Homes Now Own a Connected TV or Attached Content Device, According to The NPD Group
As Streaming Video Content Surges, U.S. Connected TV Household Penetration Increases 14% Year-Over-Year
Port Washington, NY, March 7, 2016 – More than half (52%) of all U.S. Internet homes have at least one TV connected to the Internet, representing an increase of six million homes over the past year, according to The NPD Group Connected Intelligence Connected Home Entertainment Report.
While the types of devices being used to connect these televisions to the Internet are varied (video game consoles, streaming media players, Blu-ray disc players, and the TVs themselves), the average connected TV home had nearly three (2.9) devices installed that they could use for programming from apps on their televisions.
Base: U.S. Internet households
Devices are connected to the Internet, not just capable.
Source: The NPD Group/Connected Intelligence Connected Home Entertainment Report
These numbers are in lock-step with the macro-level rise in the number of connected devices* Americans own. In examining the entire connected device landscape, there are now 734 million in use within U.S. Internet homes, averaging 7.8 connected devices per home. This represents an increase of 64 million installed and Internet-connected devices over the past year. This momentum is, in part, being driven by the increased adoption of Internet-enabled televisions and streaming media players as well as the increased availability of streaming video content.
“Ownership of connected televisions and streaming media players is accelerating while the availability of streaming content is simultaneously expanding. These combined forces will continue to drive increased adoption of connected devices within U.S. households,” stated John Buffone, executive director, Connected Intelligence. “At the same time, as the number of households that have access to apps on TVs rises, so too do the business opportunities for content owners and distributors.”
Methodology:
More than 5,000 U.S. consumers, ages 18 and older, were surveyed during Q4 2015. Connected TV, streaming media player, and tablet ownership survey results were calibrated to life-to-date unit sales from the NPD Retail Tracking Service.
*Total connected devices include laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, connected TVs, video game consoles, Blu-ray disc players, streaming media players, and iPod Touch. The number of installed and Internet-connected devices includes those that deliver broadband applications and must actually be connected to the Internet.

http://www.marketingcharts.com/television/smart-tvs-now-in-almost-1-in-5-households-60647/
Nov 2, 2015
Streaming media players are gaining in popularity, but a growing portion of Americans own a TV with built-in streaming functionality: some 19% of US households have a smart TV as of September, reports Nielsen in a new study, up from 15% in November 2014. Washington, DC (26%) ranks as the market with the broadest smart TV penetration and the largest absolute year-over-year gain (11% points). Smart TV ownership is also high in Houston (24%) and New York (24%) among others, per the report.
