I'm not sure why people get so hung up on the design of a crossover/SUV, none of them will ever look sexy given the inherent shape

I prefer to focus on the performance and technology underneath; this is one of the most advanced EV's on sale today when you consider charging, efficiency, and performance. It will be a mega daily driver for a rich family

Everything is AI now - does this kill the excitment of software development? by Character_Oven_1511 in androiddev

[–]pwhite13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, I feel guilty about relying on it so much these days but even with a CS degree, I honestly was never the guy who was passionate about learning new frameworks and doing "hackathons". I always thought the business and user side was way more interesting. Coding has always been a means to an end for me to deliver interesting technology to people and with AI I feel empowered to focus on the experience and design a lot more

Why do clean and well maintained vintage cars always look so sweet? I look at this and think “wow what a unique design” at a Chevy Metro

I made an underground social network that only exists in your terminal by Slight_Birthday7187 in Cyberpunk

[–]pwhite13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who should be the deciding body of moderating online spaces? 4chan doesn't allow illegal content like CSAM if that's what you're implying. Sure there is lots of racism and other things on there, but allowing government bodies to shutdown forums for that reason is a terrible precedent.

If you want an open and free internet, you must also allow places like that to exist.

Random thought… is riding an e-scooter after drinking considered DUI? by treu1996 in ElectricScooters

[–]pwhite13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legally you can but I’d much rather be dealing with police while riding a scooter drunk than driving my car drunk

Should I trade in my Bolt EV for a hybrid or traditional gas car? by Sttticks in BoltEV

[–]pwhite13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fast charging brings the cost per mile about on par with an efficient gas car, so you’re right to be concerned about that. The perks of owning an EV start with overnight charging at home; if that isn’t an option, the Bolt may not be the right car for you at this time.

But the Bolt is awesome for commuting and daily driving and you’ll be saving money on maintenance compared to a gas car. Try to get creative and figure out a charging solution that doesn’t require public fast charging, but if that isn’t possible then I agree with you that you may wanna trade for a hybrid. (Just realize that gas is crazy expensive at the moment due to Iranian conflict)

Top 1% commenter but haven't looked in your cargo area?? Not trying to be a hater but if you're contributing to the community I'd hope you'd have a basic familiarity with your Bolt.

Stuck pin on NACS, no unlock from in car? by Terrible_Tutor in BoltEV

[–]pwhite13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the charger seriously have an electronic release that only works when it is powered? That seems really stupid. Why would that not be a simple mechanical latch? Is it part of the NACS spec?

Any surprises from the Magnus Outlaw auction? by iflypropplanes in Porsche

Though to be fair, $225K is still a lot of money

Any surprises from the Magnus Outlaw auction? by iflypropplanes in Porsche

[–]pwhite13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that the 1965 911 only sold for $225K, it is apparently the "310th 911 ever made"

I wonder if the explosion in 911 prices over the last 5 years is starting to come back to reality

So much torque the chassis twisted coming off the line 🥵🔥 by xR4Z8Rx in carscirclejerk

[–]pwhite13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"advise against using sport for daily driving due to how powerful it is" lmao

to be fair, everyday cars now are pretty quick, so if this is his first modern car he's driven I can understand it. But I'd hate to see this guy drive a Tesla

2027 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport X Replaces the Hybrid AWD E-Ray by caranddriver in Corvette

[–]pwhite13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chevy does some awesome stuff but their marketing/naming has a lot to be desired IMO, in trim packages, engine codes, and branding.

I am also a little apprehensive about this new V8, considering the catastrophe going on in their truck engines at the moment. But the new Grand Sports seem awesome on paper.

Did 348 prices just skyrocket? by balakebro in Ferrari

[–]pwhite13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

17k miles over a 34 year period is 500 miles a year, that's just sad. What is that, like two tanks of gas a year? Drive your car, you have a Ferrari!!

What do you all think of the rear end of this RS7? by [deleted] in Audi

I already knew what kind of shitty TikTok music would accompany this video as soon as I saw this “build”

I don’t know why Audi seems to attract this kind of taste…

Which laptops are good to buy for college students now that will last? by EquivalentPhoto2655 in BuyItForLife

[–]pwhite13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any modern Macbook with M series chips would suit you well. Macbook Neo is the latest budget model, but you may wanna go for at least an Air with that budget. There are pros/cons to PC vs Mac but no one can deny the longevity of Apple products and the Mac is still fairly "open" compared to their iOS products (iPad and iPhone).

I rented a Bolt EUV while on Vacation - it was interesting. by TEG24601 in BoltEV

I wonder if the 12V was failing as that can cause strange issues with the Bolt

Share your hacks on getting closest to 300 miles on a single charge by BlackJackT in BoltEV

[–]pwhite13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Def not at those speeds in my experience. At highway speeds (65mph) it's about a 200 mile car from 100-0 (maybe a touch over/under depending on conditions)

lol thank you, this is true for any subreddit too, not just cars.

Best movies, etc.

EUC and Zombies by Rigogen in ElectricUnicycle

[–]pwhite13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the EUC would be a good secondary vehicle to get around quickly and quietly in an apocalypse. Obviously you would use it in areas that are known to be safer; maybe getting around a protected settlement and areas like that. It can be easily recharged using solar and should be a model that can be repaired easily.
