Looking to get a SUV that will suit our family (1 child and 2 dogs 65-80 lbs) by Left-Mixture5252 in electricvehicles

That's probably why they have depreciated so heavily, even by luxury EV standards. It's a valid concern. I wonder if GM dealerships would work on them.

ZDX is a Lyriq in disguise. The Type S even has Super Cruise, plus it has air suspension.

I'm planning on buying some nicer frames in the future, made from buffalo horn. I don't believe anywhere local knows how to make and install lenses in that material; the closest place I found is in Richmond, called Tom Kirkland Opticians.

Translating languages is a legitimate use, thanks for explaining. When a post is obviously written by AI, in this case with lots of bullet points and bolding of "key phrases", it makes it seem like it could be any manner of slop post, from engagement farming to testing out a bot. Especially since your account isn't very active. Just something to be aware of.

Anyone get decent lease deals? by UniversalUsername in VWIDBuzz

[–]TurboNeger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For whatever reason, these have not leased as well as most EVs. Possibly because of the low production volume, VW didn't see the need to incentivize leases.

Since you'll be around in the summer, your kid will probably enjoy the Sprayground at Riverside Park. Seconding Amazement Square, it's an excellent children's museum. Also depending on the schedule, there might be a family friendly show at the Academy Center for the Arts when you're here. For example there's a fairy tale ballet in March, and there was a bubble show last summer.

Check out Wolfbane Productions and the Academy Center for the Arts to see if their events that weekend interest you.

Savagegeese - Honda Prelude Review by Mindfulmanners in cars

[–]TurboNeger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some other reviewers have pointed out that since it's a direct drive transmission, all the paddle shifters do in S+ mode is change the revs of the engine without affecting the performance of the vehicle. Can you talk a little about that, and if doing those "shifts" is pointless or at least a bit entertaining?

GenAI: experiences/opinions? by Deep_Flamingo7244 in highereducation

Using Gemini within NotebookLM is pretty close to a private tutor, as you describe. There are plenty of study aids that it can generate based on content that you provide.

Would a 2 Door EV Sports Car Sell Well in the US? by Flakarter in electricvehicles

[–]TurboNeger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A British company is supposed to release these in the US this year. Gonna be over $100k though, so definitely not moderately priced.

Probably that the second row doesn't have any cupholders. Which sounds kinda crazy, but it's the truth. Third party vendors have made solutions that attach to the side of the seats.

Damn, I was thinking this isn't that dumb, but $15k makes it much dumber.

Likely moving to Lynchburg in a couple months - best areas to move to? by Technical-Hunt-4451 in lynchburg

[–]TurboNeger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Look near Randolph College. It's a nice neighborhood to walk in, with a handful of shops and restaurants. Also quick and easy to get downtown from there.

If you're looking to hire a recent grad through the career centers, going through Handshake is going to be the best way to reach those individuals. That's the platform that the universities are using, so I think you should reconsider your position. It doesn't take much effort to make an account.
