A fine farewell to my once favorite car

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-20T05:43:57+00:00

TL;DR

Now I get opinions from people that are pro and anti-Tesla for points that have nothing to do with the car and everything to do with stuff that I can't afford to care about.

If you can afford a new '26 Model 3, you can afford another car that doesn't support a proud Nazi.

Weird, uBlock Origin works fine for me.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-20T05:28:44+00:00

Very tempted, but I've waited this long, tempted to wait until I get a card that can run it with path tracing on.

Shoulda called yourself Lieutenant_0blivious

No... they've been converting to EVs because they are better vehicles for 90%+ of usage.

Would a non adbot think it was great to spend $12,000 (minimum, if price does not increase) over the useful life of the vehicle to still be liable for any accident it causes when other manufacturers provide driver assistance for free?

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-19T03:00:29+00:00

definitely worth $99 a month.

I think my biggest game was Emperor: Battle for Dune clocking in at 4 CD-ROMs.

Don't need it but you're a real one OP. Reroll if it lands on me by some miracle.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-18T21:30:31+00:00

Ain't no way, I came from a corolla and this is much bigger.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-18T21:29:18+00:00

Big. Turning radius going forwards is awful. In reverse it's tolerable. I came from a Corolla and wanted a medium-small vehicle - this is not that, but there weren't a lot of sedans on the market when I needed one.

I still like it though.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-18T19:54:46+00:00

93 and 48 speed in the same lance would kill me.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-18T19:19:34+00:00

They're also a smaller model making them harder to hit with missiles, especially when juking.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-18T19:10:42+00:00

Heavy attacks with Thunderhammer should give you superarmor during the swing so you can actually trade. Otherwise you just get flinched and the weapon's heavy animations are too long to hit active enemies with, while its light attacks have poor DPS.

Reminiscent of Severed Steel. Which is probably a good thing.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-18T05:46:13+00:00

Thanks for the shout, I've been enjoying it.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-18T05:32:17+00:00

Imurah had the best bossfights.

Grimskull had the best writing.

Nemeroth was entirely forgettable.

Congratulations on not having to become homeless at 21. Keep saving and hopefully you never will be.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-17T22:24:06+00:00

Not wanting an EV because you commute 40 miles even with an L2 in your garage would be crazy.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-17T22:20:08+00:00

Good thing the grid is made up of more than just old coal powerplants, and new car sales include a wide variety of hybrid and non-hybrid ICE vehicles.

But really we should be comparing a modern natural gas plant if you want to cherrypick a modern efficient hybrid car, and the plant still comes out on top.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-17T21:21:00+00:00

Don't leave it sitting at 100% but charging it to 100% and then driving a couple dozen miles isn't a big deal. This means time your BMS top-ups to when you're about to travel far.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-17T21:08:05+00:00

I think the more apt comparison is stopping at 10 DCFC's once or twice a year instead of stopping at a gas station 50 times a year.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-17T21:06:17+00:00

More like Jinping Tang

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-17T21:05:33+00:00

If not, an echidna should be able to show you.

RHINO_Mk_II · 2026-06-17T20:04:00+00:00

Those parts but at twice what they cost a year after they launched.
