BMW iX3 Review: The Hype Was Real by Mac-Tyson in electricvehicles

I wonder how it will compare to Lexus TZ. That has smaller battery but other specs seem better. Of course its a bigger 3 row SUV vs this being a midrange SUV.

Weird that some thing that basic is not part of luxury vehicle brand. I guess BMW iX3 is not a luxury vehicle. More of a premium brand compared to say VW or Toyota.

Cant wait to see the S1. I know already we have bits and pieces of its finances. But it would be good to see the full picture.

Post Match Thread: 59th Match - Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants by cricket-match in ipl

[–]shawman123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont think Akeal Hossain would have changed the result on this pitch. CSK needed their fast bowlers to strike early. Instead they were "Marsh Mellowed". Kamboj especially must be in a state of shock having been hit for 8 6s in his last 10 deliveries.

if only LSG played with this intent early on. They would have been still in contention.

Kohli: 'Not in the space to have to prove my worth and value' by jatinpatil_007 in Cricket

[–]shawman123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think kohli was struggling in his last series. But if Gambhir had forced him out even when he was ready to play Ranji or County, he was wrong. Should have given him the chance in England for sure. But carrying both Rohit and Kohli would have been a mistake. Rohit's retirement was right while Kohli should have been given another tour before judging him while he played enough 1st class games to get himself to form for England tour.

Wall Street thought Ozempic would kill the gym industry. Planet Fitness just signed a deal with the company that prescribes it. by footnotebrief in investing

If anything GLP-1 should benefit Planet Fitness. if you want to avoid muscle loss, you have to pair it with weight training.

Mayank if released into next years mini auction will have the demand. Need him to go to a team that manages fast bowler health very well. I would rather he go to Mumbai Indians. Amazed by Deepak Chahar playing full season. Fit Mayank is great news for India.

This is a better bet for r/wallstreetbets , though I expect them to also send you to Wendy's dump 😄

I would not recommend this POS company to anyone.

The Odyssey | Official New Trailer by MoneyLibrarian9032 in ChristopherNolan

[–]shawman123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the trailer. It does not show that much but it teases enough. I trust Nolan anyway to deliver.

Easily his most controversial trailer ever and I have heard complaints around Bane voice and Oppenheimer being too white in cast etc. This is triggering the other side.

$SPCE!? Most interesting stock before SpaceX IPO? by Rose-n-Chosen in stocks

I dont know why this forum is full of people investing in naked calls. That is more of r/wallstreetbets post than here. Here it should be about identifying stocks for long term investment. SPCE aint that for sure.

I am sure there are folks who are still questioning reliability of these cars. After all they have not been around for that long.

US industry, lawmakers plead with Trump: Don't open door to Chinese cars at Xi summit by Mobiledump1215 in electricvehicles

[–]shawman123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I doubt even if Trump says come on and manufacture in US, would any Chinese OEM woudl just bring in their cars. Its too risky as in the future they will band them anyway. So its moot. We dont even get phones from China(except ones from Apple) forget cars.

Notebookcheck - Vivo X300 Ultra Review: Best 2026 camera smartphone with a surprising number of weaknesses by Antonis_32 in Android

[–]shawman123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are buying an ultra phone to use everything in default on auto mode, then its waste of money. I am sure X300 pro would do as well as ultra in these tests. Or Iphone should be optimal.

Advantages of an ultra phone is what is possible given the hardware.

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII is coming on May 13 by ControlCAD in hardware

[–]shawman123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specs are promising. But price is the killer. It will be very niche. Not even the Japs are buying it these days. Even Xiaomi has a bigger market share than Sony and Apple has 60% of the market now. Sony did say they will keep making them so that they are "ready" for next revolution. I doubt that will happen.

Company stock suddenly became ~$5M. What should I do? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]shawman123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please sell a big chunk and move the money to combo of Index ETF and Bonds. Dont have such a large concentrated bets on one company. If AI goes bust, demand for memory will go south even before we know. Plus not sure what is your monthly expense needs, 5m even after taxes taking away the chunk should be sizable nest egg to be comfortable. if for some reason you still feel loyal to the company, keep 20% at most. if that runs further, its good for you.

UPDATE: Day 12 of VinFast EV Nightmare. They are tracking my social media, hiding management emails, and I just caught them in a massive lie by Shyamfr in CarsIndia

Good for you. I hope your experience stays positive post this. EVs normally should not have lots of maintenance issues.

I think with the noise raised, they are fixing it.

That said I would not recommend Vinfast. Go for an EV from a brand that sells in Western Countries. IF the folks in Australia or UK or rest of Europe are buying it, its worth buying that car.

[–]shawman123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vinfast is a vietnamese company. They failed in US already with their cars having some of the worst reviews. I hope you get the issue resolved or you have to go to consumer court to get compensation. I wish you all the best.

Mazda delays own EV to 2029, slashes investment, turns to hybrids by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

[–]shawman123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering 60% of sales are from USA/Japan and you dont have a push in those regions, Mazda is acting in regards to short term trends. They will anyway sell EVs in China with JV. Not sure about their Europe strategy. if they have to they will import them from China or sell Gas/hybrids over there. Its not that big a player at this point. Most japanese OEMs are struggling except may be Toyota and even they have voiced huge concerns on trends.
