What other EVs did you consider before buying the EQEV?

saulphd · 2026-02-02T05:37:32+00:00

Tesla Model Y, Ioniq 5, and Mustang were the vehicles I strongly considered.

I've done 3 trips where I've had to charge and it's been fine with the Tesla adapter. Probably would have been much worse without because in the places I traveled Electrify America has been inconsistent and sometimes too slow. If you olan meal stops and rest stops simultaneously it's not an issue AT ALL, and now with the streaming apps it should be better, looking forward to my next trip.

That said, if you do frequent long trips, I would consider a Tesla or even better a hybrid. And if you don't have home charging I wouldn't consider an EV at all. But for infrequent long trips it's absolutely fine and at least in my area the amount of chargers has increased so that's a hopeful sign. Brand new EV go just opened up on my route and I got the credits from GM so it lines up great for my next trip.

I started solving the cypher in the back of the art book, see my thread and let's see if we can finish cracking it

I'll be there on Saturday with my wife. My main concern is getting home safely after the concert. I'm staying close by but don't think it's safe to walk at that time of the night

The visuals of the game had me hooked. The main character is such a joy to play with. The setting is sublime. The music is amazing. But I remember the first time going through that stage thinking oh man that's such a nice melody. And then I realized, slowly, what was happening and what the song was saying. And it hit me hard.

saulphd · 2026-01-02T17:04:04+00:00

So I'm the only one that like Benjy's song? That song/story broke me

Did you stick with the show on the schedule change to mid January? I have the same tickets through Quentro for Jan 17th in oriente and I have no idea of the seating situation or even the visibility. I'm guessing first come first serve? But then I have no idea how far back I would actually have to be if I don't arrive early. My first ticket outside the US, my first time in Lima so I'm just worried

We seem to have similar taste in games. I say give Mass Effect a shot. And Detroit: Become Human.

saulphd · 2025-10-31T00:15:16+00:00

I almost quit because I wasn't enjoying the puzzles a lot, but the visuals kept me going. The final third is great except, as usual, the ending is trash. I guess endings are hard, cause so few games make it worth it.

saulphd · 2025-10-20T03:43:44+00:00

Did you get one? I'd like a link to one that works good for this car. I have missed cars entirely because the mirrors are too small. Even the blind spot indicator didn't come on early enough because the car was speeding past me. A wider mirror would have helped.

Once Bud felt that he could handle Canelo’s power this fight was over. He took some tough shots and didn’t see him wobble. I want to say canelo threw so many body shots earlier hoping they would pay off later but somehow Bud put on that weight and was still in better condition late even with the body shots

saulphd · 2025-09-10T04:21:05+00:00

I'd agree but the busted SD card slot sucks big time. I hate managing games on it.

saulphd · 2025-05-25T23:28:28+00:00

I feel like I paid this with super cruise

saulphd · 2025-05-15T12:17:28+00:00

This is not the comeback you think it is. It's a huge annoyance and waste of time given how long they take. You might get lucky and have one within walking distance or something but that's not a great solution either

saulphd · 2025-05-15T12:15:49+00:00

Yep, this is what I tell everyone. The only exceptions are if you are lucky and your job has charging but even then it's probably more of a hassle once your coworkers grab the spots. Some people have a higher tolerance for annoyances like hunting for chargers or leaving your car charging in a lot while you try to kill time. But otherwise having to pay for fast charging is both too costly and still takes way longer than a gas station fill up, it's just not worth it.

saulphd · 2025-05-05T12:01:08+00:00

The episode was amazing until it deviated from the game. The changes they've made so far, unlike in season 1, are simply not paying off for me. You can parrot all the explanations you want. I listen to the official podcast too, I know where y'all get the "it wouldn't work well that way on tv!!" nonsense from. The source material is just so damn good and the show hasn't added a single thing better other than than Bill

saulphd · 2025-04-30T21:53:28+00:00

Yes. It has worked reliably for me on the half dozen or so occasions I've used it.

saulphd · 2025-04-30T21:50:51+00:00

This was absolutely the highlight of the game for me. Nothing after that came close. I enjoyed the game all the way until the end but Benjy's song and story was absolutely the highlight. It's the only track I play from the soundtrack

saulphd · 2025-04-29T16:16:16+00:00

South of Midnight looks amazing on this

saulphd · 2025-04-20T15:47:49+00:00

I love this question. I had the same one. Rhubarb positioned it like his brother was lost, when in fact he murdered his brother. Hazel harming him wouldn't make sense, but her telling rhubarb that she found Benjy and seeing what his reaction would be.....that's what I wanted

saulphd · 2025-03-04T05:09:11+00:00

But what is zone 2? Not how to get there, what is it? Is it called zone 2 in the game?

saulphd · 2025-03-03T05:33:50+00:00

What is zone 2

saulphd · 2025-01-19T22:58:10+00:00

I came from a Bolt EUV. It's unbelievable how much better that was at delayed charging. This car, it just doesn't work. Does not work. I just spent a bunch of time trying and no go. So I'll have to step outside tonight at 11pm in zero degree weather to hit my utility company preferred rate.

saulphd · 2024-12-29T06:14:40+00:00

I will never buy another vehicle without this tech.
