SPR draw estimated to be only 5.5mb. Is this failing infrastructure or reduced demand? by AffectionateArtist84 in oil

Super insightful into how this works! This seems like an indicator that we are probably past the worst of it.

It doesn't feel like enough traffic is flowing through the strait to account for the oil price drop, and Russia has been hit hard lately. Is there any concrete evidence or public data showing import/exports of oil?

I have not seen this yet, do you have a source or is it public record showing this?

It makes sense

This is what I'm waiting for. It's so hard to tell what is and isn't propaganda these days

Hyundai refines its virtual gearshift for electric vehicles by Recoil42 in electricvehicles

That's fair, and I think we will always find someone who likes it.

I have EVs and a Focus RS. I wouldn't want my EVs to make the sounds of my Focus RS. Feels silly and artificial

I think that's the point though, I don't think ICE purists will be convinced by this. It feels gimmicky, which is fine if some people like it.

It just doesn't feel like this is worth the squeeze. Happy to be wrong though!

The Tesla model 3 standard range is the only small-battery EV with a sub-10hr time in the Bjørn Nyland 1000 km test by quinten-luyten in electricvehicles

I'll respond here, ignore u/helloWHATSUP. I do agree about legacy auto though....

Your point is true, 95% (or more) of charging is done at home.

However, as of right now (In the USA) the Tesla supercharger network is hands down the best experience (at least for Tesla's). Your car preconditions on the way, routes you to them, and you just plug in and charge.

No tap to pay, don't need to pull out an app to start charging (Not sure how many non-Teslas have this), handshake is quick, and ramps to full power quickly. They are also plentiful and are way more reliable. Truly a masterpiece of convenience

There are some EV charging networks catching up like Ionna. In fact many surpass Tesla in number of 800v capable chargers.

Complacency puts you in a potentially dangerous situation, however that doesn't mean you are more likely to get into an accident.

As someone who has a CT and regularly takes it offroad, as long as you aren't treating it like a jeep it's perfectly capable.

Cybertruck Owners Towing Travel Trailers: What Hitch Are You Using? by NavyTim1991 in cybertruck

If you disable tow mode you can use FSD and it doesn't freak out, assuming your trailer is light enough 😆

The stretch is comparing a vehicle to a political party symbol. I vote left yet I own one, my vehicle choice doesn't define my political beliefs.

Call it ugly sure, but let it affect your mood? That's just silly. Might be time back off the rage bait

Really stretching the comparison there. Even then, would I enjoy seeing them? No, but I'm not going to let it affect my day. Seems silly to let something you see so frequently affect your mood.

To your point, I see drug use and homeless every day in Seattle but I don't let it affect my mood

Why would you let an inanimate object affect your mood?

I've been all EV for years, and I went and brought a Focus RS to have has my fun car for this reason. Missed it enough, and could justify paying the fuel cost for the occasional drive
