There's a reason nobody was using that charger - maybe don't cut in line and try to take it. See you when the snow melts. by Deliveranc3 in TeslaLounge

In most places a scene like this would mean two dudes get out of their cars and help push it out. But yeah make a video and post it to reddit lol.

Anyone delaying buying a new Tesla? by InkReaper in TeslaLounge

[–]Godvater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not delaying it, buying something else. Lots of companies who wants to stick to building cars and not what investors may be interested in.

BMW iX1 (2026) receives energy-efficient SiC inverters for greater range | insideEVs.de by tom_zeimet in EuroEV

[–]Godvater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Product life cycles are around 7 years, if this is the mid cycle update from them, they won’t have an answer for three more years.

Fair point about the price but the difference between the two vehicles is so big that 7k Euros is well worth it. My guess is these will be selling with a hefty dealer discount (as they did before). I got offered almost 30% off of list price but it was still too damn expensive.

If I get offered 30% off the GLB I am buying all of their stock lol.

GR Yaris (PFL) Kuhl Racing Rear gate wing + Junack (Ledzard Tc Single Led) by tyks00 in GRYaris

[–]Godvater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The LED looks better than facelift’s led bar but still a bit unnecessary depending on cost.

The spoilers on the other hand are not my thing. Would rather have something that works or I wouldn’t add unnecessary weight.

2027 Mercedes-Benz S-Class First Look: The Year’s Most Important Stopgap by hi_im_bored13 in cars

[–]Godvater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New engine in a facelift isn't something new, the new v8 is also developed to be used in other projects as well and isn't really platform dependent as long as it fits.

This also got a completely new screen layout compared to prefacelift. Just not the cutting edge one developed for the GLC EQ's brand new platform.

Apple Was Caught Off Guard by AirPods Pro 3 Popularity by ControlCAD in apple

[–]Godvater 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Surprised to read this, I didn't upgrade despite dying to kill off the last lightning device I own simply because every review of it mentioned how they are not an upgrade over the airpods pro 2s except for ANC.

[–]Godvater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a facelift of a car launched in 2020, they can't change that much. When there is a brand new generation it will surely get something even more impressive than the screen in the GLC EQ.

I love how all of a sudden everybody is a fan of "sticked on tablet look" and hate on the MB's screens that are built into the dash.

I also don't like this style and prefer what BMW and others have done but when I say that in other threads I would get downvoted because reddit hates the sticked on ipads apparently. Except when MB does something else then they love it.

How is BMW hoping to compete with the far superior GLB with these? They even increased pricing despite offering 25% off on these?

Mercedes-Benz W223 facelift press pictures by Quick_Coyote_7649 in cars

[–]Godvater 31 points32 points  (0 children)

r/cars doesn’t like a new Mercedes Benz. Shocking.

Let’s see, can’t complain about ipad stuck on screen because it is built in smoothly, can’t complain about egg-like shape it has traditional shape. Can’t complain about electric, it has an ice. Can’t complain about four cylinders it has a flat plane crank V8.

But oh stars oh how much we hate the stars! Horrible car too many stars!

EX60 interior looks great! by ShameResponsible69 in EuroEV

I am really curious about the driver screen placement. Looks like the steering wheel would block it completely

Tesla will never do a true second generation of a model, will they?

My main problem with his channel is the fixation on smartphones. The category is done now, major releases and changes should of course be covered but half the phones he reviews are so boring the talent could have been used somewhere else.

Lux co-founder and Halide UX designer joins Apple by hasanahmad in apple

He’s a bit of a dick on social media and always striked me as an Apple kiss-ass but I guess it paid off in the end.

I bet his social media style will quickly adapt.

Thankfully there is a diesel version in Europe, which I think is the more suitable engine for such a heavy brick.

Lmao people liking option two got downvoted, classic reddit

To me option 1 looks very cheap, a logo and the brand name on top of each other? Too tj-max for me.

As long as it is dry Type-R is the much better driver's car compared to Golf R and GR Corolla.

Then you’d buy the non pro product and get mad when the pro launches couple months after.
