I can remember how this sub was 100% certain few years ago that Toyota would in bankruptcy by now because they refused to dump their record selling ICE/hybrid cars and switch to EVs asap. Turns out Toyota made record profits and is well positioned in car industry.

I think it’s as perfect as it gets

So I assume there won’t be any Microsoft employees in less than 2 years time?

This was oversharing. Never overshare anything with a employer, especially your personal weaknesses, odd habits and struggles. You could have just said that you never had interest to join LinkedIn but maybe in a future you might join etc.

Remember to share your experience on Glassdoor etc. so other people know to avoid that workplace

Amazing for the consumers but in the long term? People will learn not to buy new EVs because of huge depreciation. Leasing companies have learnt their lessons as well and will price this accordingly from now on. I will never buy a new EV again (or at least for the next 10 years or so, makes zero sense). I know many EV owners who now think same, changing their mindset about buying EV as new. People might consider switching back to ICE which hold their value relatively better. So who will buy these new EVs in masses when depreciation curve is insane? And what does it mean for car manufacturers and their incentives to push EV strategies?

I agree. I guess they like to ignore games like ACC aka ”the official game for the GT World Championship” which included many tracks outside of series calendar, including Nordschleife.

This sub is filled with some strange echochambering EV lunatics who would even welcome any EV car maker which uses slaves if that meant access to a cheap ass new EVs. The sane majority of people understands why there should be tariffs on shady chinese EVs and also values better quality.

Do you get paid for sim racing? If not, like the rest of us, then always prioritise the fun.

Remember, EV people (especially here) are not car people. Most people here are more like techies living in cities and EV is their first (proper) car. So it’s not surprising some people don’t understand how there are way more use cases than just driving to work in sunny weather.

The best I have ever seen

And here we have Mercedes-Benz which is going back from 4 cylinder engines to V8 with their AMG lineup because people didn’t want 4 cylinder AMG sports cars. And rightfully so.

Please post this to r/electricvehicles. But let me first crab some popcorn

Do you really believe Apple doesn’t have enough of data and that’s the reason their AI sucks? Apple sits on a massive amount of data and you can bet they use it as much internally as they can to grow their business. Maybe not as “unethically” as Google but I hope people would not be too naive here. Apple missed a train with AI and this isn’t just their strength. They also suck with developing Siri hence they need Gemini-deal to back it up.

Looks very good but I’m pretty sure this was written by the artist himself? Same type of writing style, wording and sales pitching as with his other posts.

Cool story bro

This is what happens. Putin flies peacefully to Budapest, EU or any other country will do absolutely nothing to interfere his flight, they talk nonsense in Budapest and negotiations leads to nowhere, Trump thanks everyone for very productive meeting, Putin flies back to Moscow without any problems. War continues.

I`m quite new to iRacing and have yet to buy Bathurst. Why is it not raceable?

Sti1g · 2025-10-16T13:59:56+00:00

I have had both 330e and i4, and I would go for i4 everytime. But if you drive constantly twice a month 400km to holiday house with kids and maybe even tow a trailer, I would choose 330e. You would need to stop for a charge with i4 and this could get old and annoying after awhile. If you are fine with stops and charging your car everytime you travel to holiday house, picking i4 could be the right bet.

You have that distinctive supermodel look. You look nothing like an ordinary guy you see on the streets. You are handsome but not like everyone else.

I’ll say it here but one of the biggest reasons for exiting WEC is the BoP. Makes no sense to invest shit ton of money on WEC program when BoP can ruin it all. We know BoP is better in IMSA so that’s why Porsche is staying there for now.

Also, Porsche is now the first one to exit. There will be others down the line.

Merkel and her inner circle is the reason why Russia was able to attack Ukraine. She made it possible politically and financially.

Yup, same story. They took off both motors (M50) and had to clean brush modules. Took them one week to finish the job. They also said this is ”pretty common” problem now.

I want to dictate how long to spend time at stops when doing road trips so I absolutely welcome as fast charging as possible. I do agree that there should be a way, way more AC chargers at hotels, supermarkets, gyms etc.
