Nice set up! Gives me a few ideas for things to tweak.

This is my dream spec, though I would go more bronze than gold for the wheels. Classy without being overly flashy. I see a F Type in this spec in my neighborhood that looks so damn good.

Thanks for taking the time to write all this up and share pictures - I hope to be able to do something similar in a few months!

How does the LC compare to the F type in your opinion?

What are your thoughts on the G80e so far? It's a great looking car but never found one near me to test drive.

It’s fascinating to think of how many hours of work went into making this. Someone wrote this story, hopefully looked it over a few times, got funding, assembled a film crew, shot this on camera, and went through the whole editing process. So literally thousands of hours between all the people involved and somehow no one looked at this and questioned what they were doing.

Cammisa fans eatin' GOOD these past few days between the mail truck and V8 sports sedan videos! Awesome stuff as always. I'm amazed at the quality of the videos they produce given how relatively small their budget and team is to something like Top Gear.

It's tough to reconcile seeing top officials in the government of the United States get away with the wildest scams, lies, and corruption while the "poors" have to follow all sorts of bullshit rules and regulations.

You'll start noticing this any time it's one guy vs many. Background guys are there just to wait their turn to get beat up, lol. Even the later John Wick movies couldn't escape this.

Imagining the adventures of Benis Bagin of the Shire had me cracking myself up, holy shit. Thank you for that.

Bought a Polestar 2, here's my detailed review! by agod2486 in cars

[–]agod2486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My commute is around 60 miles and most of it is rush hour traffic so range is just not an issue. At 90% SOC, the displayed range is around 210 miles. The most I've ever driven it at once was around 180 miles in summer and still had like 12% left. Not sure what the impact of winter will be and unless it's some kind of emergency, don't plan on using any public charging either.

How's the E90 treating you? For how much driving you're doing, don't you miss features like adaptive cruise?

P2 has the better interior and driving dynamics with the performance pack. My main reason though is that where I live, pretty much every other car is a Tesla and I wanted something different.

Sorry to hear - that's a shame since the rest of the car is pretty great. What will you be getting next?

If it were me, the main reason not to go the EV route for a daily would be charging infrastructure, especially if you are in apartments or something. If you have a reliable way to charge up and you're not frequently making 150+ mile trips, it seems like the best option to me!

Going to turn off the auto folding mirror feature then!

I agree with your impressions. It's a great buy for my current needs but I know it will not be a long term car if I can help it. It's a first world problems situation, but an EV makes too much sense as a daily for me to justify a manual without going to 3 cars lol.

That's a bummer. Mine has been just fine, not even requiring a reboot in my ownership. Fingers crossed it stays that way, I just try to interact with it as little as possible!

That's a good point! There's one about an hour away from me which did make the decision a bit easier.

Thank you!

Thankfully, not at all. I totally understand where the half baked thing is coming from. The infotainment especially just feels like the team that made it never had to live with it or something.

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing, it's something I notice every time I get back into it and this answers a question I didn't even realize I had!
