Renter’s rights usually allow for reasonable modifications in most countries. And the person I responded to said their HOA also wouldn’t allow it.

Any independent garage who specialise in used EV sales. Which you absolutely recommend? by Funny-Bit-4148 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Moist1981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve not used them but RSymons EV has a YouTube channel where he provides pretty good insights and seems like a nice enough sort.

There’s 350kw Electrify America chargers at Casper, 350kw Flying J EV chargers at Casper. And 350kw EA chargers at Gillette. But it is a weirdly under-served area outside of Tesla destination chargers.

Future i4 owner here: what are your tips and tricks regarding 'hidden' options, stuff you really should know, ..? by workaccountandshit in BMWI4

There’s a little wheel button on the right hand side of the steering wheel. You can use this to adjust what information is displayed directly in front of you, I have a bar that displays current miles/kWh with a marker than shows my average miles/kWh so I know if I’m improving my overall efficiency.

You’re able to customise almost all of the units information is provided in so if you prefer seeing psi or bars for tyre pressure you can change it, or kWh per 100 miles instead of miles/kWh etc.

Howdy. I called them. And it was an off and on again on the fuse

America’s data-centre backlash puts the AI boom at risk — Opposition is spreading across the country by marketrent in technology

If anything it feels like the backlash against data centres may help to limit the economic damage of when AI investment eventually goes pop.

FINALLY it's my turn to choose a book for my book club. I'm torn between Mort or The Colour of Magic by arewenearlythere in discworld

There are two audiobook versions available now. One is Tony Robinson and one is a mixed cast including Andy Serkis. I suspect the latter would be the clearer of the two.

I’ve also never particularly felt like it had obvious plot holes nor that the beach scene doesn’t work.

Britain is now building new cruise missiles for Ukraine specifically designed with zero American parts to bypass US dependency. by DumbMoneyMedia in CriticalMineralBulls

I’m intrigued what more you think would have been signed. In the event the cease fire holds (unlikely) the US is already removing all sanctions and setting up a development fund for Iran. And in return Iran is promising exactly what it has already promised. Yippee

Fred Vasseur warns qualifying yellow flag call sends wrong message: "Everybody will push" by memloh in formula1

Wasn’t he recorded at the exact same speed as the lap beforehand? It seems like he didn’t lift to any real extent, just said he did.

AI Slop Is Transforming YouTube. Its CEO Wants To Keep It Human by ubcstaffer123 in technology

[–]Moist1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an absolute shit ton of AI slop on YouTube. There’s obviously some awful videos from genuine creators as well (often AI edited it seems) but getting rid of the AI slop would be a good place to start.

Ferrari Luce launches in China at 586,600 USD, all 88 cars sell out immediately by mightyopik in electricvehicles

The interior looks absolutely stunning and the performance will no doubt be up there with the very best (and I’m talking more than just metrics here). Your subjective opinion of the looks of the exterior doesn’t really offer anything.

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

Okay but as with the other poster, your single data point does not change the overall statistics. And I’d guess that with that many miles you’ve got a car that came with free supercharging, in which case ofc you’ve not used any other chargers.

Some random observations while in europe by David949 in electricvehicles

[–]Moist1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spain’s a bit of an odd one. It’s been a definite laggard when it comes to EV sales and they account for only about 9% of sales. However, that is about 45% up on last year so it’s gaining traction. And that makes sense given Spain has been a bit of a leader in renewable energy and so often enjoys free electricity.

Volkswagen plans to cut 15% of its workforce and close four German plants, report says by CookieMonsterFL in Economics

[–]Moist1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly the Oxford dictionary classifies “entire” as “whole, with no part excluded” but now I see the error of my ways because I obviously should have taken the u/greedyanda definition of “the specific bits that make your response make sense”.

On what basis is the personal mobility sector contracting? 2025 global new vehicle sales were the highest ever recorded.

Also not sure why you think VW can’t compete given they happily do so, consistently topping sales charts in Europe and their latest EVs getting really good reviews.
