  • Despite the bad press, half of America is still considering an EV or hybrid car — they just want them to be cheaper

  • Not true. There are schemes in the works to put standardized public outlets on streetlamp posts and utility poles.

    Then BYO charging cord and plug in.

  • There are schemes in the works to put standardized public outlets on streetlamp posts and utility poles. That will be nice when that's working.

    And if you have a dedicated parking spot it's not a big stretch to install an outlet for it.

    Some neighbors even have installed one on a post in front of their house while they park on the street.

  • Preconditioning only gets it ready for charging. It does almost nothing for driving except to allow the regen to work.

    Lithium delivers fine below freezing, but it needs to be above freezing to accept a charge.

    When you preconditioned at work for 2 hours all it did was waste battery.

    XC trips when you put a supercharger as destination, it will automatically precondition to get ready to charge. And preconditioning takes away from your range.

  • It's not though. But I like your take on it, except you butchered it lol

    Or can you substantiate that claim with broader context? I can't remember the setup to the premise.

    I guess we could ask Carlinbot.

  • Sure, the punishment for running out of hearts is they send you to rudimentary prison to repeat disheartening lessons.

    I haven't figured out the heart refresh - do they give you 5 new ones each day?

    The ads are loud and awful and start before you can mute them. Can only skip the last few seconds. It's engineered to be very obnoxious.

    They could just have a value added premium but instead they choose to punish.

    But good to hear you have managed to mitigate that. Gives me some hope to stick with it, thx.
