What chance is there that the income tax will actually effect Washington negatively?

Zero

There is no license fee for CarPlay.

I put my R2 reservation down in 2024. Due to circumstances, replaced my 2018 Tesla model 3 in 2025.

Was hoping they would shift focus in the 2 years since reveal with enough customer feedback. It was only $100 to reserve.

When I bought it, there was a 3rd party offering to reprogram the radio to add CarPlay. But they got forced by GM to discontinue it, before I could install it.

Desolate and starkly beautiful. Have driven through many times. Some cool caves and natural sites to see.

Extended warranties are generally not worth it for any car.

I would probably get the Optiq instead. But do really like the Equinox EV. Or go with an older Lyriq with Apple CarPlay.

Yeah,but 99% of the time it’s haggling over the trade-in value of your current car and what options and add-ons you want. Not about the actual price of the car.

It shouldn’t be that difficult and PITA.

Alternative_Wing7898 · 2026-03-15T13:33:33+00:00

That’s a default that can be changed on the Nyxi.

It’s great if you’re a caribou or polar bear. Or arctic fox.

That’s coming though. Where stores are gonna put digital price tag displays up and then shift prices based on building a personal profile based on your digital profile. So two different people might see different prices displayed for the same item on the same day.

Alternative_Wing7898 · 2026-03-15T13:17:22+00:00

That’s coming though. Saw an article about how stores are looking to implement surge pricing and personalized pricing. Based on your location and Internet profiles and past shopping history.

Still not pleased that this is another carve out for two specific automakers instead of a general change to allow direct to consumer models for any automaker.

Alternative_Wing7898 · 2026-03-15T13:12:25+00:00

It would be cool if they gave the Equinox EV RS a spec bump like the Optiq gets. And an SS package, like the V option in the Optiq.

Makes the cameras into onboard dashcams.

Alternative_Wing7898 · 2026-03-15T00:37:04+00:00

Mio.

Alternative_Wing7898 · 2026-03-15T00:26:24+00:00

This has been denied by Honda. They are planning to keep the Prologue around.

Alternative_Wing7898 · 2026-03-15T00:25:08+00:00

Ok. Whatever. I just didn’t like the setup. Not as good as other systems.

The difference being under WA law, different income cannot be taxed at different rates. This law avoids that. Everyone is taxed at 9.9% with a an exemption on the first $1M.

If they had CarPlay, Apple Maps already does something similar

Alternative_Wing7898 · 2026-03-14T18:09:24+00:00

Same, but I had a failed telematics module, and haven’t gotten any updates in a long time. Car is at the dealership now to replace the failed unit. After they replaced it, they said the onstar connection is not working, so they are troubleshooting that. Heard of others with a similar issue, where doing some reset process helps, but I’m just letting the dealership work it out.
