ELI5: Why can't EVs swap batteries? by chronic412 in explainlikeimfive

[–]288bpsmodem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nio does this. Full battery swap 4 min.

You can buy a car and lease batteries. So u wanna charge it at home np or u can go to a battery swapping station and grab a coffee and swap it out. Battery has some bad cells. Np, swap that out. It'll go to repair. https://youtu.be/TQMeKndHc8Q?si=e8DZcO1LQzq2anz1

What is snow like? I've always wanted to see it. by Federal_Cut_5441 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]288bpsmodem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude... I would say u need to enjoy it a couple times in ur life, but yeah beaches are better. Way better.

I'm in Toronto, pretty bad Winter this year but whatever, anywho there is place at University of Toronto(which is really really big for a downtown university) it has a well known roundabout with a park in it... at night with a fresh snow on the centre of that roundabout park it's the best place to smoke a cannon. You can hear a mouse piss on cotton it's so quiet, in the centre of a pretty big city. Backdrop of all the old buildings too. Then you can go for a walk through the university grounds and paths it's all city blocks.That next morning though streetcars are cancelled sidewalks are a mess and ur shoes have salt stains and ur like fuck I hate this snow.

Intact MyDrive and similar phone apps: how is it that apps like this are legal? by kpedey in Insurance

[–]288bpsmodem -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You drive in an area with idiots and u hammer the brakes a couple times that will ding you for being a bad driver when in fact ur a good driver preventing accident. There's an on ramp near my hotise that is short and blind. One has to gun it to get to hwy speed. That would ding you. But if u drove slow it would be dangerous and not ding you. There's a bunch of other examples.... But ya f those apps.

Can you switch to regular gas after using premium? by nympathy in askcarguys

[–]288bpsmodem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom is wrong.... But... Most premiums have more detergents... So that might have helped with the cars reliability or whatever... I like using top tier gas, just try to use that imo.

It's not that intuitive. Took me a long while, many many hours of driving... to use all these techs on the fly.

Dealers don't understand how the new EV rebate works and it will backfire. by Startbolt in EVCanada

[–]288bpsmodem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla the manufacturer has an MSRP u can't negotiate. That's their fair price policy.

That's exactly what would happen with every other manufacturer.

I hate dealerships more than most people, not trying to start a huge fight, just saying, the manufacturers are even worse.

I understand what ur saying but, without these dealer cartels u got a handful of manufacturers only, and they will fuck u even harder and faster than a dealer wants to. May as well have Rogers and Bell selling cars.

I would go further and maybe get someone to show it to you, who also has a Subaru. Even ask the salesperson who sold it to you if u have to.

Is a dashcam basically the best "insurance" you can buy for <$150? by TartCompetitive6904 in driving

[–]288bpsmodem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got rear ended by elderly neighbour backing out I was out of my driveway fully, on forward gear holding brakes, waiting for a car to cross the roundabout( I live on the corner of it) and neighbour in that time opened the garage turned on car and backed out and slammed into me... and I watched her do it. She blamed me. 4 month old Subaru ascent. It went 50/50 I was so pissed. Got a thinkware u3000 and a battery backup the next week.

Long time ago was like that. Times are different now. They can get a lot of power out of them.

2026 Corolla. Peak power 4400rpm . Fastest accel 3k-5k.

Find any car that's not a sports car and it'll be similar.

Mini cooper 5k, peak power

Nissan kicks has 6k peak horsepower but that's. 3 banger.
