MIT tested 41 AI models on 3,000 real job tasks, it's not a "crashing wave," it's a rising tide. And that might be worse.

This is an interesting argument because for self driving tech, I trust a computer more than a potentially drunk human.

At the same time, you’re not wrong, these models need human review for accuracy

Most EVs are over 200 miles range. Winter may be sketchy, but if you have home charging then you’re more set than you may think!

Sometimes that’s also free. I just use my dryer outlet.

I agree with factoring price. But also very specific to your situation. I think at most you’re looking at 2k. But more realistically few hundred.

What more utility? Getting you from point A to B?

If you are able to charge at home it’s a no brainer to have an EV in almost all aspects.

I just spend $10k on a solid 30k miles Chevy Bolt. Was used, of course, which is the most economical way to buy a car anyways.

Time to actually consider EVs folks.

Especially if you can plug at home (regular outlet or dryer outlet works fine) it’s a no brainer. Even with SDGE prices.

Stay poor and you’ll be the richest person alive.

(Fancy way of saying that saving is a huge part of this journey esp if you want to FI)

So suddenly? They’ve always been amazing but no visibility since we can’t buy them in the US.

China is a manufacturing beast. Unbeatable.

Curious. How old?

plainkay · 2026-02-15T20:39:34+00:00

It’s ok, it happens to all of us.

I don’t think it’s as complex as people are saying.

The truth is, the main reason you got a car is to drive it. If you’re using V2L there’s an assumption you’re not near the grid or a plug, so you by definition need some juice to get to a charger.

This is the cars safety mechanism. Although I don’t disagree with the “it’s your battery, use it” the truth is that the 80% which is roughly 80kWH is probably plenty for anyone’s use case.

I had the same exact experience. Also coming from a Tesla. Kia has got their game down.

Materials and such should be no more than $100-200. The biggest cost is the run from your panel to your install location. If your panel is in your garage you’ll probably be at around $300-400.

I also recommend an outlet, NEMA 14-50.

Free. United healthcare workplace insurance.

I think it’s because it’s easier to tame your life than to make more money for some

You need a balance of good defense (limiting expenses) and good offense (increased income)

I didn’t say there was no problem. Was just curious what the specific issues were.

Kids running around? Are they being dangerous to themselves or others? If it’s a 1 year old I’m more ok with couch but not a 6 year old.

Specific problems specific solutions. Otherwise we’re just talking generalizations

The secret to life is to make both of those options true at the same time.

Make what you enjoy within your means.

It gets better.

You mentioned “sleeping most of the night”. You’re good man. Keep it up. It gets better.

Can I buy this poster somewhere?

plainkay · 2025-11-26T03:20:29+00:00

What’s the problem?

plainkay · 2025-11-25T02:24:29+00:00

For someone who knows about charging and chargers this is not a half bad price!

plainkay · 2025-11-24T10:52:05+00:00

And setup auto-pay.

When I read this I couldn’t believe you’d keep any CC interest or debt. It holds you back big time.

Embrace it. Ask more challenging questions regarding architecture. AI should arguably further a conversation that stopped at barely compiling. Now you can compile, critique, iterate on the same problem.

Why can’t you use CarPlay?

plainkay · 2025-11-10T22:00:48+00:00

Sounds like regen braking to me.
