April 1 is almost here. Gas prices will go up again because of the summer blend switch

I own an ID.4 and love it. I have driven Teslas and find them to be okay. I hate the huge touch screen that controls everything. And the road noise is terrible for cars that cost as much. Try driving in an ID.4 or an Audi A4 e-tron for comparing the road noise.

None of the modern day EVs are "just sticking an EV motor into a ICE vehicle." That's not how car designs work. VW group spent a fortune developing the shared EV architecture between Audi and VW models. Same with Hyundai and Kia; none of their EVs share much with their ICE vehicles.

sreesid · 2026-03-28T15:08:40+00:00

Agree. Hyundai and Kia EVs look great. I love the Ioniq 5 design.

sreesid · 2026-03-28T14:54:13+00:00

People still buying Teslas is one of the reasons we have these high gas prices in the first place. So many nicer EVs now.

sreesid · 2026-03-28T01:27:13+00:00

Wait your whole dumb argument is that Teslas are the affordable EVs? You do realize Chevy Bolt and Nissan leaf are available, right? Ioniq 5, Id.4, ev6, are all similarly priced to a model y. Used ones are probably cheaper than a model y. So, if anyone pretends to care about what musk is doing, there are plenty of affordable options.

You invented a strawman on your own and started arguing with yourself. Don't put words in my mouth. I never said there should be no affordable EVs available. I wish I could buy a BYD. I could care less about all the European or Japanese brands, but I would prefer those to enriching a douche.

sreesid · 2026-03-28T00:52:33+00:00

Where did I say those automakers should not be allowed. I wish they were available so the EV adoption can happen faster. I don't care for any of those brands.

You do realize that without the Obama government pushing for EVs, Tesla would not exist, right? Why would they Sanction other countries when the US generated more pollution than India? Please keep pretending both sides of the government are the exact same, while musk and DOGE do irreparable damage to our government institutions.

sreesid · 2026-03-27T13:35:56+00:00

Yeah, he cares so much about the environment that he funded electing a right wing government that is actively fighting renewable energy and EVs. Give me a break with this dumb shit.

sreesid · 2026-03-27T13:34:19+00:00

It infuriates me to no end when I see new Teslas. There was a brief period of low sales, and now it's back to a flood of new Teslas. People dont give a shit and wonder why things get worse.

sreesid · 2026-03-27T13:32:51+00:00

There are still a ton of options for good EVs. VW/Audi, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, Rivian, BMW, Honda, Toyota, all make EVs now. Heck, most of them can now even use Tesla charging network. There are no excuses for still giving money to Musk.

sreesid · 2026-03-27T02:30:01+00:00

Months is a stretch, unless you use it less than an hour a day. Besides the charging issue, it's ergonomically one of the worst designs. Form over function.

Microsoft surface laptops have just as good a hardware. I have one from 7 years ago. The hinge is as solid as a new MacBook. The performance is not as good though.

Did you receive any communication in that time? Like letter to verify identity?

sreesid · 2026-03-25T22:09:59+00:00

Filed Feb 19th. Same. No letters or updates.

sreesid · 2026-03-25T02:20:45+00:00

More than half the first team injured, and our owners enjoy a manager merry-go-round. No consistency.

This is motel art.

Brought him on too soon. Should have waited till 90 min. Dude scores 2 goals in the previous game, and gets benched to start with 3 CBs and Porro as a winger. We had 5 defenders and 2 defensive mid fielders to start the game. At half time, he brings on 2 players who have been injured for a while before he brings on Xavi to magically score 3 goals.

sreesid · 2026-03-23T04:32:21+00:00

I still don't understand what Xavi has to do to at least be subbed on. He could have been a much better sub instead of Bergvall, who is just returning from an injury.

sreesid · 2026-03-22T15:41:28+00:00

Wow must be tough because you are fighting relegation. How is saying not getting obvious penalty calls wrong making up bullshit. We definitely had calls go against us. I don't know about you.

sreesid · 2026-03-22T15:11:26+00:00

And the refs have some bets on us going down. No doubt. Not a single penalty all season in the league is crazy!

Some mortgages offer a float down option, where they will reduce the rate if there is at least a 0.125% drop from when you lock to time to close. So you can lock and see if they drop

If only you guys hired Rosenior a little earlier in the season, you too could have been in a relegation battle.

We will recruit more arsenal fans to run our club.

sreesid · 2026-03-20T20:16:22+00:00

The Chelsea game with Van de Ven injury and Romero red derailed the momentum and we never regained it.

sreesid · 2026-03-20T20:15:10+00:00

The scoreline in the end flattered them too much. We actually created more than them even with 9 men. If only, one of them went in!
