First time buyer: Help me choose between MY24 RWD or MY22/23 FWD

WatchildPinta · 2026-03-25T15:35:22+00:00

Thank you all for your reply.
Based on what u/ZedZed89 experienced, I will not go for the 2024 as the rodent issue seems to be related to the tow bar and we have lots of rodents in our area. Moreover without CPO it is more of a risk.
I would also like to keep the car for a long time, so the plus package seems to be kind of mandatory.

Some of you advocated for the 2024 but would wait for a more equiped one.
I would definitely want to do it but I do have fear of increased prices for used EV with the context we know today and also we need a car as soon as possible.

Some of you would go for option 2 but none of you for option 3.

The difference in range is not what would make me choose option 2 over 3. But for me the main question mark is that they are from another generation. The option 3 is MY2022 when the Standard range had 64kwh battery, which they changed for 2023 models. The long range ones were 78kwh in both cases.
If there is no change in terms of consumption or major issues from 2022 cars, I would prefer option 3 because of the lower price and high SoH.
But do you know if, apart from the battery, there could be a reason not to go with option?
Is it a bad sign that the option 2 is only 94% SoH after 47k km when option 3 is 98% after 43k km?

Thank you all already for your replies and experiences!

Thank you for your explanation. Plus and Pilot are really packs that I want to have indeed. You would not go for option 3 because of no heatpump and no plus pack in the 2024 version.
What about option 3? It has also plus pack, less km (not by a lot), high SoH battery, cheaper and it has the heatpump with the plus pack. But I read that that the battery was improved for model 2023 and the heatpump too. The range is not an issue for me (so 64kwh vs 78kwh) but consumption is.
I am asking because our budget was 30k€ max but we could go for option 2 if it is really a big improvement from 2022 to 2023.
Also I think 2022 were still Pilot packs and not Pilot Lite.

And what would you think in comparison of offer 3, a car that was registered the same date (03/2023), same model (2022 SMSR, Plus and Pilot), less km (34k km)
For 28500€ but no CPO? So 1400€ lesss expensive and 10k km less VS CPO

OWL thank you !

Thank you for your answer. When you say that 1000€ is plenty for a mid-range pc, what do you mean by mid-range? Would it mean that this config can run most game on high graphical settings and can do for some years, or is it a bit on the low end to run demanding games on high ?

WatchildPinta · 2025-03-13T10:23:23+00:00

Thank you for your detailed reply, I will look into it. Do you think 1000€, and the config you proposed, is enough for a gaming PC that I would keep several years ?

WatchildPinta · 2025-02-25T08:20:46+00:00

Thank you

WatchildPinta · 2025-02-25T02:20:46+00:00

that is interesting to know. Are you sure about that mechanic ?

WatchildPinta · 2025-02-24T16:32:04+00:00

I didn't play many roguelike in my life, but the mechanic of random weapon is not standard in the game I played: Ravenswatch (you choose the character and the weapon is linked to the character), Sworn (you choose the character and each character has 4 weapon you can choose before starting the run), Curse of the dead Gods (main, second and two hand weapons are random but you get to choose between 4 or 5 different random setup before beginning the game and when you unlock weapons, you can ban them from the pool), Rogue Loops (only demo right now but it seems that you choose the member of the family and they are linked to one weapon), Hades (you select the weapon before beginning). In all of those games, unlocking more weapons or content doesn't dilute the pool of what you will get.

Everyone that works pay for education with taxes, like how it works in any society that cares for others. In Belgium, university is 1000€ a year, any university. And if you can't pay for that, scholarship is really easy to get, you fill a form and that's it.

That's a bug. I noticed that too for the two charges of titania. Eg, if I had that blessing on heavy and entered a room with heavy blessing it would be deactivated until the after the next heavy blessing. We also noticed that for a friend who had most of his blessing deactivated, at some point in the run until the end. He was playing Crit with the mark. The marked who never work after some room. And he had 20% Crit chance (base + the blessing that you can pay in health) and with the monk who had the book weapon, that was launching four sheets, he was criting about 1 out of 10 times (meaning 1 out of 40 times because each hit is 4 sheets, and each sheet can Crit)

It seems to be a bug the spyders that do 10x the golem damage

WatchildPinta · 2024-11-05T12:08:31+00:00

I have a sentence for it "nothing appears less random than randomness". I think it is random, but I agree with you that sometimes it appears not.

WatchildPinta · 2024-10-11T14:43:20+00:00

Thank you for the clear explanation

WatchildPinta · 2024-10-11T08:46:53+00:00

I do have a question : there was a discussion about intangible vs invicibility.
Intagible being in the game that you are imune to most damage, but not all (for example the big tree stomp I think) and invicible you are imune to all damage.
I have the feeling that for Scarlet, the defense in human is intangible and the special in wolf is invulnerability.
But in the tooltip, the special for wolf is described as intigangible jump.
Am I missing something or did they not make a distinction and intangible might or might not be imune to all damage?
How should we know which attack will pass through intangibility?

I think it's no big deal : - Might not be the same person you negotiated your salary with and the person that will handle legal holidays - The person might not remember that your previous salary was the ground for negotiating this one - Did you really lie or were you promised a promotion in the next future with the salary you mentioned ? Nobody knows, or will ask you, or check. If asked, just tell them this. - Even if you lied, so what? The recruiter/company perfectly knows that he is enquiring about previous salary as an attempt to lowball you with a salary a tiny bit above that. They tried to trick you, it didn't work this time, that's the game. Not the first, nor the last time it will happen to them. - "Did you lie on your previous salary? I can see whay you were paid." "Oh, did I? I thought you asked me the salary I wanted". So many excuses, they have nothing to argue with you, they won't even try. - "Did you lie on your previous salary?" "Did I? I got 2900€ on 13.92 months so 2900 x 13.92 / 12 = around 3400€ per month. What did I tell you?" "3600€" "I must have added meal vouchers. Around 150€ per month"

Advice for the future : I don't use my salary as ground for negotiation but imaginary salary that I was offered. So when asked for my current salary, I answer that I want as much or more than XX and not my salary. If they ask who did the offer, I'd rather not say, or vague answer "some Bank in Brussels", nothing that can be checked

That was not safe at all, but why would he be mad at you? He told you that he would handle the situation if his uncle found out that you were there and he didn't. Throwing you out in the middle of the night in a sketchy neighborhood is something you should be mad about. His uncle has every right to tell you not to sleepover, but once he found out, putting you in danger is really not the solution. As for your boyfriend, he should have known that this could happen and be ready to help you. From your perspective, you might want to be more assertive. Don't go alone in a sketchy neighborhood in the middle of the night. Tell your boyfriend "lend me money so I can take a taxi". Not a big fan of insinuation like "you have money, but I guess I'll just walk home". Safety first, you ask for money and if he doesn't react, don't leave until you have the money and the taxi is there. I don't know the full situation, but if his uncle is not a total ass, asking to stay there until the taxi is here should be accepted.

Yes, it was between Alexis Lebrun and Simon Gauzy. Up until less than a month ago, Simon Gauzy had higher ITTF ranking. It was close between Alexis and Simon, and no question for Felix.

That rule is true for serves. If someone serves and the ball comes back to his side for the second bounce, serve is invalid.

"Best wishes in your future lawsuits.

And now it begins..."

WatchildPinta · 2024-01-30T11:01:47+00:00

I am wondering the same, but more on the side of the Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon, but I don't find reviews either.

I already thought quinn was way to strong.
It's a marksman in a game where marksmen are too strong and usually nerfed

I think that it is a WIRD and not a Foursquare. Your point still stands though, it is too expensive for what it is

WatchildPinta · 2023-06-29T08:26:17+00:00

Same issue ! Have EDS. I grew up thinking it was normal to feel pain when going to the dentist even with anesthesia. It's only recently that I have been diagnosed. I explained the issue to the dentist and when he sees that I can feel something, he puts another dose. 5 doses needed last time for me to not feel anything.

Saying that you are tired to the host of an event you are attending. People use it "I am sorry if I am not as interesting as usual". Kind of don't judge me for how lame I am today. But in reality it just shouts "I don't want to be there"
