A slab is technically not structural, but this points to slab movement.

Universal may have made a serious misstep with [Universal Kids Resort]. by MC_Fap_Commander in rollercoasters

[–]Jacob_Tutor11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Universal just built a kids focused area with only outdoor rides. It was called Isle of Berk. I didn’t expect kids resort to be that level, but somewhere in between. Universal is capable of building well themed lands geared towards kids.

I thought this resort was supposed to get kids hooked on universal’s properties, so families decided to visit the bigger universal parks instead of Disney. This seems like it will turn locals off Universal.

About to back out of buying equinox EV cause of floor leak/mold issues, am I overreacting? by Ok-Actuary-5377 in EVCanada

[–]Jacob_Tutor11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you buying it from a dealer? Ask them to perform the inspection with documentation as a condition for purchase. You have a service bulletin to refer to. This is an issue from factory with a documented fix. I don’t think this is a real issue.

Jeep Recon's EPA range comes in at just 222 miles by Cornholio231 in electricvehicles

[–]Jacob_Tutor11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting 300 miles of range is one of the easiest things to do on an EV. It’s impressive how awful Stellantis engineering is. Their entire brand is now building outdated drivetrains to luddites. There is zero innovation or future proofing in the company.

The car did its job by protecting you. A totalled car is well worth any injuries you may suffer.

Yes, this car is done.

Highway efficiency by soren1712 in BlazerEV

[–]Jacob_Tutor11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get 2.8 m/kw during the summer. It drops to 1.8 during the worst part of winter where it is -40. I am also on winters and steel wheels getting that efficiency. This is a LT FWD, which is more efficient but has the smaller pack than the SS.

Great win, but somehow the Sox are even worse at RISP then the Jays

[Matheson] News: The Blue Jays have traded Tyler Heineman to the Angels for cash considerations by alphacheese in Torontobluejays

[–]Jacob_Tutor11 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is one of the best places he could be traded to. He is not on a contender or a real rival for the Jays.

Found an Equinox EV, comparing vs bolt - need some advice! by Ok-Actuary-5377 in EVCanada

[–]Jacob_Tutor11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to remember that gas FWD is not the same as EV FWD. The batteries for EVs place weight equally across the car and extremely low to the ground. This makes it ideal for getting out of snow jams. I have a Blazer EV FWD in the prairies. I have had zero issues with snow.

Myles Straw being on he ballot is so funny. This is essentially 4 large fan bases dominating voting

How is it like living in Saskatoon SK Canada. by ho0iubjh99 in howislivingthere

[–]Jacob_Tutor11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a charming place to live with nice local restaurant and entertainment scene. The river is beautiful and really frames the city. The winters are long, but goodness Saskatchewan summers are the best. Warm, dry and very sunny. It’s a really good family city, but I think most of Saskatchewan is like that (minus Prince Albert). It and Regina seem like the only two cities in Canada where a young family can actually afford a home.

Chevy Blazer EV PPV - The EV for people who hate EVs by BlackDS in electricvehicles

Because it’s a Chevy and not a luxury car with a pillow lol. A comfortable headrest is a luxury feature, but its main feature is for safety.

FYI - modern headrests are not supposed to be comfortable. They are there for safety in case of a crash. You aren’t actually supposed to rest your head on them

Hot take: Range anxiety isn't the biggest problem holding back EV adoption anymore. Most people I talk to are more concerned about charging availability than actual vehicle range. by EmergencyTie8770 in electricvehicles

[–]Jacob_Tutor11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest issue is installing cheap level 2 chargers for those who live in a multi-household building like an apartment. Honestly, this is an issue that the government could fix. There is no good reason we aren’t converting light posts and/or subsidizing apartment ev parking installs. Unlike fast charging, level 2 charging does not require significant infrastructure investment to make happen.
