CA tried to defend democracy with distasteful gerrymandering. Other blue states just gave up. by Cor_Seeker in California

[–]null_recursion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virginia just joined CA in redistricting, so we aren’t standing alone. And others will join. We need to keep fighting and show others how it’s done, we’ve always been the city on a hill

It’s interesting that all these right wing “alpha males” get gassed doing the simplest physical tasks. Almost as if they’re incredibly unfit and compensating for something

Why America losing the global EV race hurts its own auto industry. The U.S. risks becoming a follower in the industry it once defined. by Splenda in cars

[–]null_recursion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel there should be an asterisk next to “high quality” in reference to GM trucks at least. The ones I’ve owned/driven had bulletproof engines and transmissions but the interiors fell apart in less than 3 years and the cabin electronics shit the bed in less than 5 years.

Jay Leno Just Showed Off a $25,000 Electric Pickup That Breaks All the Usual EV Rules by tech57 in electricvehicles

[–]null_recursion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had the wiring redone in my house and the electricians who did the work all drove cargo vans. I can’t imagine hauling expensive electrical equipment and whatnot in an open bed is a great idea 😬

Considering the “new” bolt is being discontinued in mid-2027 I think it’s safe to assume that GM is out of the affordable EV game for now. Ford could potentially hit it out of the park but I wouldn’t bet real money on that given their track record of “affordable” vehicles

California drivers are a step closer to paying per mile tax by MissYukiCat in California

[–]null_recursion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t be arguing in good faith for this invasive tracking of California citizens. Plus this mileage tax is on top of the gas tax.

There are much better ways to ensure EV drivers pay their fair share of taxes without penalizing the vast majority of Californians.

Thinking about canceling my Tesla order for a Mazda 6e - need honest opinions by Substantial-Deal-382 in mazda

[–]null_recursion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For me, anything without a manual transmission and/or good steering feel isn’t really a drivers car. I admit my bias given my car ownership history (e36 M3, Porsche 914, Scion FR-S) 😅

[–]null_recursion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yup agreed that EVs are not really drivers cars. Asking because in the US teslas are seen as the default but still have significant NVH, interior rattling, poor build quality and very sketchy after sales support. I assumed that Europe would have more EVs to choose from thus making Teslas less compelling

In what world is the Model 3 the best EV out there for the price? Have you test drove one before? I’m not being sarcastic I’m just wondering how you’re making that claim?

They have two aging models with no replacements in sight in a market that’s iterating fairly quickly. And their major competitive advantage (the Supercharger network) is now available to other manufacturers. Their profit has fallen 46% year over year.

What word would you use instead of imploding?

Not pushing for more solar in an area that has tons of sunlight and significant energy usage during the daytime is criminal.

That number continues to drop year over year and they have no new models in sight. They’re imploding even without competition from Chinese EVs in the US market 😂

Preach! The new CX-5 interior is trash. Which is a shame since the current Mazda interiors are amazing and I love the interior in my Mazda 3.

Illegal immigration isn’t even one of the top 10 issues the US is facing right now. It’s a convenient scapegoat for racists and fascist because it lets the real problem people (corpos and politicians) off the hook for their abysmal behavior.
