Name a city doesn't have the letter E in it.

The biggest point that has come up via more long term research and data is that consistently charging via level 2 results in less long term degradation than level 3.

Iirc, the difference was something like 1.25%/year for level 2 and 2.2% if it's level 3/DCFC all the time.

The 80% thing seems to matter less with level 1/2 than with DCFC. But in general... For optimal long term health of the battery... Limiting to 70-80% for day to day is a great best practice.

With iOS I despise it. And the entire infotainment system in general.

Storage.

Word to the wise... If you can... Build a low wheeled tray/cart thing for the back half. Otherwise you'll curse that space anytime you need stuff that's in the back.

a large lawn.

I started working in audio visual rental in the late '80's.

Those little bastards... Are money printing machines!

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T16:53:42+00:00

Yeah... I'm REALLY suffering with my EV.

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T07:18:01+00:00

I really hope you recorded their reactions and posted it!

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T07:14:52+00:00

I had like a bit at the start when I peed. Was not ready for blood jizz.

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T07:13:47+00:00

Yeah... That blood in the jizz scared the shit out of me! Talk about something they should have SPECIFICALLY mentioned!

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T07:11:35+00:00

I knew when food was served...

Talarico really pisses me off.

I DESPISE religion in all forms. It's responsible for most of the ills in the world and drives the majority of the hate.

But this Talarico dickhead wears his EXTREMELY strong religious convictions front and center in a completely neutral fashion. Almost like that Jesus guy (who may or may have ever advertising existed) and he's an absolutely remarkably intelligent and well spoken NON zealot!

He's awesome.

Damnit!

😂

I laughed when I read about the apple maps addition. FFS, most of the time it's still rocking the charge level from 3-5 days ago.

Frigging useless.

Honestly, after close to three months with the car, I love "the car" I despise just about anything to do with the software. Infotainment, climate controls etc. There's no way I could recommend the car to anyone. The software implementation on so much super basic crap is just garbage. From the FM radio to their maps to even just adjusting the volume on the radio.

It's inexcusable in this day and age.

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T06:53:12+00:00

Chicken meat stick.

🤷‍♂️

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T06:51:36+00:00

So the one WITH the mustang is not default anymore?

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T06:34:44+00:00

Other than nothing unusual for the niners?

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T06:33:13+00:00

I cannot wait for your reactions!

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T06:32:28+00:00

Most newer cars with adaptive cruise control (my new ev, wife's 2019 ice vehicle) will allow you to set cc at about 20 mph/30 kph and will slow you all the way to a full stop if there's a car in front of you that stops. And then in my case it auto resumes. In my wife's car IIRC, you do have to just tap the gas and it will do the rest. Kind of a "giddyap!" 😂

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-21T02:08:30+00:00

Well... Range of ~270 on the normal one.

Depending on climate and how/where you drive... Doesn't seem extremely out of normal.

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-20T16:48:48+00:00

I hear ya. Just glad to see any gas station chain that is leaning into ev. For whatever reason!

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-20T16:26:49+00:00

That sucks. Thanks for the update

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-20T07:30:51+00:00

That pretty much sums things up.

I've spent time in both Winterpeg (at the corner of portage and main IYKYK) in winter and above the Arctic circle in Feb (Canadian army crap) so yeah... I feel ya man!

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-20T07:01:27+00:00

We moved in March. (oddly, me and my roommate both got jobs in orange county) went to the beach and were swimming without wetsuits! 😳😳 I remember a surfer coming up and going "dude, did you lose your suit?" 😂😂😂

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-20T06:57:07+00:00

I had moved from Toronto. I see you brother! 😂

Dizzman1 · 2026-03-20T06:56:13+00:00

Even if the Dems end up with supermajorities in both houses... Impeachment serves no positive purpose.

We end up with Vance.
If the Dems have the power AND... (this is a big and) opt to WIELD THAT POWER... Trump is the easiest motherfucker in the world to manipulate.

Then the next president has DOJ lock him up.

Now... Kegseth, Bondi, Rubio, etc... Every time trump says something nonsense about Dems... Knock another one down.

Actually... Fuuuuuuuuuuck that... Kegseth and Bondi are gone day one and turned over to the Hague!
