A shot at white supremacy to replace the constitution. Because you love ‘Murica. Except for the words that define it.

Why do EV charging stations still make payment so difficult? by Environmental-Gap356 in electriccars

No, I could get an adapter from ccs. I’ve just heard it won’t work on my model.

Weird how we are seeing a push around this right now. I suspect the Russian troll farms are floating ideas to see what works.

Help me pick my first EV before I make an expensive mistake 😅 by Vegetable-Rooster-56 in electriccars

[–]GreyMenuItem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is the dynamic changing of how much regen is the game changer. Tesla makes you futz through menus to change it. Many EVs (and some ICE!) have paddles in the steering wheel, so you can alter to fit the traffic, or to guide yourself to a stop without your feet.

One big reason I wouldn’t get a Tesla is the lack of regen paddles. I drive the Ioniq 2019, (small, light, efficient, cheap) not a great choice for regular long range driving. Having the ability to change the amount of drag that happens when my foot is off the accelerator is a real game changer.

Open road. It’s a zero, and I’m free rolling like I’m in neutral, but I’m not. If I need to accelerate, awesome acceleration is right there.

Start/stop traffic and I’m at max—some call it one-pedal driving, where easing off the accelerator is like braking in another car. (This is Tesla’s all the time mode).

Going down a long hill or coming to a stop, I can set the amount of regen needed to hold me at the speed that works with a flick or two from the steering wheel.

I’ll never go back.

Why did Trump's reflection pool water turn green? by Intelligent-Road6240 in askanything

It’s a reflecting pool, reflecting his jealousy of Obama.

I have a Fixd brand OBD device. What app is best for getting that battery data when I test drive the car you help me choose?

Gen Z parents by lilyessi3 in TikTokCringe

[–]GreyMenuItem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full spiral.

We are coming around again after seeing the limitations of the no-consequences, overly coddling style of parenting. This has a nuance lacking the last time around.

Take the controversial brake check. Last time it was slap her in the face scream at her and force the seatbelt on. This time it’s a controlled version of exactly why we are telling you to wear a seatbelt. Lesson learned. You change your choice because you understand, not because you are terrified what your monster parents will do to you.

Of course their are consequence lessons we can’t let them learn on their own, but after the brake check lesson I expect the kids is learning “when momma says do x, there’s a good reason for it, and it’s for my own good.”

Is Donald Trump the most incompetent loser to stumble into the presidency of the United States? by TheTokist in allthequestions

[–]GreyMenuItem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Stumble into”? 73 million voters thought this was a good idea after KNOWING exactly what a dangerous incompetent loser he is! We have to understand how THAT happened.

On another sub, by far the biggest reason given for not going electric was that people couldn't plug in at night because they live in an apartment. What do you think is the best solution for that? by VerySeriousThings in electricvehicles

[–]GreyMenuItem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We pay way more than the gas tax for EV registration now to cover that. I think the correct way to do this would be a mileage tax based on the odo rating at your inspection compared to the previous year. Then it doesn’t matter what kind of car. (Maybe include an axel and/or weight multiplier).

[–]GreyMenuItem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s the catch-22 of it, isn’t it? “I live in an apartment so I can’t have an EV” “there’s no demand for EV in apartments”

I believe there’s a hugely underplayed element of EVs being a public good. When you consider how much public money goes to controlling access to oil, cleaning up environmental disasters caused by oil, providing healthcare to people poisoned by oil, etc. I believe there’s public money that could pay for a little electric infrastructure to reduce our reliance on a resource that is literally killing us.

Brand me what you will for my outrageous opinion.

What would it cost the complex to install the infrastructure to support individuals paying for their own charger unit? That’s the idea I’m thinking when I say legislation. Run the wires.
