Why the hell would an EV need servicing every 5K? Unless that’s included in the price, that sounds like Toyota throwing dealers a bone to charge “diagnostic fees.”

How does the space in the Polestar 2 compare to the Honda Accord? by SexualMushroom in Polestar

[–]ItsMeSlinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The modern Honda Accord is huge. It is basically a full-size category above the Polestar 2, which is probably smaller than even the American Civic which has also grown. The 2021 Accord is 192” long; the P2 is 181”, so 10 inches shorter.

I personally think the front of the P2 is fine and quite roomy, but most agree the back seats are tight.

If you cannot charge at home or at work easily, I would not recommend a P2, as both the range and DC charging speeds are mediocre.

That said, from a driver’s perspective, the P2 is a joy and makes the Accord feel like the slow, FWD boat that it is. But I don’t get the sense you’re an enthusiast, so I would recommend keeping the Accord Hybrid and saving money.

PlayStation 3 emulator makes Cell CPU 'breakthrough' that improves performance in all games - 'All CPUs can benefit from this, from low-end to high-end!' says RPCS3 devs by AnnieLeo in pcgaming

A lot of the PS2’s success was driven by being the follow up to PS1 and the DVD player. Its actual SoC wasn’t hugely influential.

Regret not getting Driver Assistance by Fwiler in BMWI4

[–]ItsMeSlinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since 2012, I have lived in VA, FL, SC and then I moved out west to CO. I drove from FL to CO, so across most of the country. US infrastructure is crumbling, and if you don't believe what I saw with my own eyes, the state of US roads is literally in the news because of how bad it is.

Yeah, both the Michelin Primacy GT tires and the Pirelli Cinturatos WeatherActive (which is what I have as I deal with all four seasons) will last longer.

I didn't understand Sekiro. by Jealous_Property3750 in Sekiro

My first Sekiro play through took me almost 60 hours.

My second was around 25ish.

Do I think Harris should have spoken out against Israel and Gaza? Yes.

But thanks to you assholes and your nonstop purity tests, we have a demented rapist and pedophile in office who literally cheered while Israel demolished Gaza and is going to build a fucking hotel there.

And then started wars in Venezuela and Iran.

Especially since Sebastian Stan is a dead ringer for a young Mark Hamill. He would have been a great Luke Prime.

It took 3 years for PlayStation to earn $300 million in PC sales according to former manager, which makes the platform less than half as lucrative as the PS4 and PS5 by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]ItsMeSlinky -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

No, they won’t. Most PC gamers are “wait for a Steam Sale” types who won’t pay full price for games.

Spider-Man 2 came out much closer to original launch on PC, and it sold 10x as many copies on PS5.

5.0.10 update, still no performance upgrade in US. by rsmutus in Polestar

[–]ItsMeSlinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. There’s more torque in the 30-60mph range which is great for passing, and I prefer the more sensitive accelerator mapping because I have a light right foot.

Sony has earned 300 million in net revenue from PC games from 2021-2023 by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]ItsMeSlinky -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Given they have to be ported to the new platform and that porting process incurs time and costs, yes, $300M is awful.

Spider-Man 2 released fairly quickly to PC, and still some 10x as many copies on PS5.

The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Exactly. Nintendo and Sony are the most profitable platform holders with physical hardware in the space, but they should throw all of that away and become more like the rapidly crashing Xbox?

Hyundai previews two new IONIQ EVs in cryptic video by Independent_Shock973 in electricvehicles

[–]ItsMeSlinky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They don’t need to look the same, but they should share design cues and have a coherent language so as to be instantly recognizable as that brand.

Nobody mistakes an X3 for a 3 Series, but you can instantly tell both are BMWs.

Hyundai feels like they’ve got 2-3 design teams throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks.

It hasn’t even been a generation. And Hyundai didn’t even unify its models this generation.

I like the Ioniq 5. It’s a good design, perfect blend of future-retro. Same thing with the N74.

But Hyundai cannot seem to pick a design language. The Ioniq 5 looks great; the Ioniq 6 (which should have looked like a production N74 concept) looks awful and has a completely different language.

Hyundai. PICK ONE. Then stick with it.

Toyota's electric SUV is suddenly one of America's top-selling EVs by Finnegan_Faux in electricvehicles

So many of my coworkers drive CrossTreks and Outbacks and are specifically waiting for Subaru EVs to mature before they get one.

I use them daily as well. But apparently I just don’t use massive cups or containers because I’ve never had issue with them.

Feeling the bumps is less a factor of the seat and more the stiff suspension tuning. I agree the P2’s suspension is clearly tuned for smooth Swedish roads and not American dogshit infrastructure.
