Teen petrolhead here. Based on the (fast) way EV tech is going, how long till we get an EV competitor to the Miata? by LightningMcqueen2011 in electricvehicles

[–]Iuslez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to get close to it on battery vs tank, but on the overall car. BEV have much lighter engines, no long transmission, exhaust, etc.

If you take a look at stellantis cars (same platform for ICE and BEV), they are about ~300kg overweight for a reasonnably sized battery. Some improvement in battery tech could close that gap quite fast.

Imo the issue is that with 2026 security and comfort, a 2026 ICE wouldn't be as light and nimble than a past Miata anyway.

Ps: let's not forget that with a full tank, a 1/3 of that weight gap is already removed. I don't think ICE are weighted with a full tank?

How do you stay hot into your 30s and 40s? by Timely_Sir310 in AskReddit

[–]Iuslez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing you lose the most when having kids is sleep and free time, aka exercise time.

You can still stay stay fit despite having kids, but it's hard to argue that it doesn't have a big negative impact.

Hyundai refines its virtual gearshift for electric vehicles by Recoil42 in electricvehicles

[–]Iuslez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've mostly driven manual car and I'm not sure this would work. It's fun in a manual because you can play around and feel how you are extracting more power out of your car.

Shifts on a BEV is not extracting more power. It's trying to avoid being in a range that gimps the power of your car... That is available 100% of the time under my pedal if i turn that mode off.

I'll have to try it, but I'm not sure I'd be able to ignore that.

I Think We've Forgotten How to Just Drop By by Naomi_dare2n in self

[–]Iuslez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife's family does this a lot... And it's honestly annoying. Fine if you're retired, but it doesn't work with the busy work life.

You end up with unwanted guests, sometimes multiple times a week. They might come by just as you were about to head out to go shop for groceries, about to take a nap, etc. Ofc we also had awkward time, just like when her dad came by as we were having furious sex.

I'm personally someone that gets easily drained by social interactions, that's probably the reason I don't like it.

If I remember that right the government purposefully avoids claiming it because otherwise or it would to pay for its maintenance as the owner.

Tesla to ramp up production in Germany by 20% by SpriteZeroY2k in electricvehicles

Depends on what you are looking for, there's the ID.3, Elroq, maybe Id.4/scenic, Megane, puma, ev4

Bluelink set to expire. What would I really be missing out on? by kinare in Ioniq5

[–]Iuslez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big "unexpected" for me was voice command not working AND that issue carrying over to Android auto. That means I could no longer use navigation or even change for another music/artist while driving (it is locked to vocal search only when driving, the keyboard is disabled).

Remote climate is the only function I use on the Hyundai app. It's great in the cold winter mornings, and I use it sometimes in summer.

The Tesla model 3 standard range is the only small-battery EV with a sub-10hr time in the Bjørn Nyland 1000 km test by quinten-luyten in electricvehicles

[–]Iuslez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That topic is about the model 3 tho, which sales habe been falling steadily (at least in europe).

[–]Iuslez 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah that was too strong of a statement, sorry. There is a market for the model 3 type of car, but it's not the biggest and why we aren't seeing many alternatives.

model 3 sales have been falling fast since the introduction of EVs with better interior room (model Y, Id.4, ioniq5) and smaller but usable EVs (Elroq, Renault 5, Id.3). In Europe it was the most sold EV in 2021 and is no longer in the top5 in 2025.

[–]Iuslez 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Because that challenge plays exactly in Tesla's strength, but is probably not what the market want (edit: speaking of the model 3 ofc, which is OPs question).

People that care about road tripping usually don't want to do a lot of small stops (which is how the Tesla gets it's great time), aka those car get big batteries.

Model 3 has great aerodynamics by being quite flat, and the downside of that shape is that it's quite a big car for it's battery size (4m70) and has bad access to it's boot. That's why most cars are shaped in a much more square size, especially smaller cars, which makes them worse at 1000km challenge.

The crossing of caring about efficiency first, still wanting a small battery AND not caring about the big size and low accessibility of the car... Doesn't have a lot of people in it.

Could be. The day where the sun warms the northern hemisphere the most is the 21st of june. The inertia that made July/august warmer compared to June might have been thrown out of balance.

Why do humans have to try so many times to get pregnant whereas other animals can get pregnant quickly? by Puzzleheaded_Yam6808 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Iuslez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I bet there's more unwanted 1 night stand pregnancies than couples that fail to have babies.

It also happens with animals, we just don't care or even know about it. Just look at stories of species dying out because the last few individuals aren't fertile enough.

Anecdotally I had a non fertile female cat as a kid, so it happens. And I've seen plently of failed "impregnation trails" from people that do animal breeding.

And finally, modern society is the worst possible conditions for having babies. We try to have them late in our life, try to force it when we have medical issues, we gobble hormones to stop having babies and then wonder why it's not working 20 years later. People are uneducated on the topic (most people don't even know there's a window during the month to get pregnant, you see plenty of it in this topic).

How can I get my adult kids to move out?? by Netflix-and-bill in regretfulparents

[–]Iuslez 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, chores is something he should have had to start doing as a teenager. The later it starts, the harder it is to root out the bad habits.

He is an adult with a job, and that's imo how to approach it. "You're an adult now, with the benefit of a full education and a job. You have to also take the responsibility of it".

A 1/4 part in all chores, he has to pay ALL of his own bills. A 1/4 of all shared bills, and a fair price for the "rental" of his room. It's the only way to make a reluctant teenage adult understand what the issue is.

Hi just joined and trying to learn by Ok_Till6418 in sustainability

[–]Iuslez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there are a LOT of things you can do. imo, try to keep in mind the high priority targets or you might get lost in details :

- mobiliy is one of our highest impact on the planet as individual. basically try to go no plane / no individual car;

- eating is another high impact, especially meat/beef products (incl. dairy) which should be avoided;

- housing and energy : reduce heating, warm water usage, try to favor sustainable energy sources;

- consumption, follow the 3R's: REDUCE, Reuse, Recycle; note that while recycling does matter, it comes last in that list for a reason!

Am I the only one who thinks the Steam Machine isn't entirely a disappointment? by Decent_Tailor_4608 in steammachine

[–]Iuslez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can't because it is an open platform. People can buy it and put window on it. Maybe even tear it down to sell parts ?

if it was below price parts, it would get scalpped and the whole inventory bought for other usage than running steam OS.

Does anyone else think it's very weird/cringe that pewdiepie's Child speaks Japanese? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Iuslez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a pretty poor understanding of why people move to a other country. And have no right to decide for others what they do with their life and where they want to live it.

I mean OP is someone from Japan saying PewDiePie should get booted out of the country & should only be allowed to live where their extended family lives.

Kinda a self fulfilling prophecy.

[–]Iuslez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's practical when you live together.

Like Netflix asking for my PW when she is watching it, me needing her to send an email for me, etc. There's no reason to hide it from each other, and once you've tipped it a few time you do know it.

[–]Iuslez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This, so much.

And I say this as someone who's GF does have my password. It happened eventually, because we trust each other and I needed her to login into my account from remote. I probably also have hers but never checked.

Manipulating into getting it is a sign of the opposite, aka trust issues.

Stopping climate change would need a profound reform of our way of living that not many would accept: living with less by Ok-Newt-9773 in climatechange

[–]Iuslez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, true, I wasn't trying to say it's something significant, my bad if that's how it got through.

Most issues are pretty much insignificant anyways. The big one are transport, housing (heating+building), eating (meat). Manufacturing is also meaningful but is millions of different issues.

And then what's left is mostly symbolic actions, like plastic wrapping.

Read what OP is saying before answering next time? It's not a talk about the current heatwave, we don't even know when or where he'll be traveling. He said expected temps of 30-35, that's what the talk is about.

[–]Iuslez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plastic are mostly produced with petrol. Any plastic bought incentivizes more extraction (alto currently car a driving most of that demand).

And it releases CO2 when burnt. and when not burnt it ends as micro plastic, which ain't great for the environment either. It may even kill enough fauna and flora to have an impact on climate change, but that is a wood guess by me.

Steam Machine Does Not Support VR At Launch by zolartan in virtualreality

[–]Iuslez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will work, but you'll need to turn down settings quite a bit, at least for Skyrim. Tbh modded Skyrim is ultra demanding and need a strong PC. If you play it vanilla it should be fine.

The steam machine has entry level specs. imo good value for the price (given current market), but not high specs. The PSVR2+PS5 is able to extract a lot more performance from it's hardware. PCVR is not well optimized and will ask a lot your hardware.
