Comment Re:Hugs my 2000s car... (Score 2) 134

I like my SiriusXM. I listen on the road, on my mobile EVERYWHERE else. 300+ stations that I can listen to knowing that the artists are actually getting a piece of my $$$, unlike any other modern platform. SiriusXM is better for the musicians than anything but buying CD's and merch from a show. It also has artist based stations for ANYONE I can think of. I also found that I actually enjoy a curated selection by someone else who knows music. It is hard to hear new stuff from my MP3 collection. Many of the XMSirius DJ's are musicians that broadcast from the road. I drive alot and having to not change stations all the time is a joy.
It is not cheap but I derive an enormous amount of pleasure from SiriusXM.

I'm in Arizona, USA. If I stick to 65 mph I get run over in the right(slow) lane. You have to top 80 mph to get into the passing lane(left) here. I see 75% giant duallie trucks pulling 5th wheelers, loaded with ATV's/ sand rails/side-by-sides and motor bikes. All of these running on AV. gas. Hell, they still burn in the fields here...Air quality is job 19.

I commute about 150 miles to work. What I need is a car I can commute in and then after a short period use again to get around locally. I will have used my 300 or mile range by the time I am home. I'd like to be able to use the car again for an evening outing.I suppose a hybrid is mor the fit for me that a straight EV.

man your comment sure stirred upa nest of ^%$% :)
cheers and be well.

Comment LMAO (Score 1) 52

Because adult strangers are ALWAYS a danger. The poor kids are more likely to be molested by their local gym teacher or "Uncle Fred" than they are a total stranger adult. I'm really concerned that todays kids are not going to learn how to interact with ANYONE, much less a total stranger. How do they get through life ?

Comment LMAO Disney crawled (Score 1) 12

There was no new agreement, Disney flexed and lost. They figured YouTube customers would loudly complain then switch to the new Disney platform. What happened was life just went on with out Disney and they watched their "profit" dry up. YouTube is carrying Disneys' lineup at the same pricepoint they did last year.

Comment Electric engines are golden... (Score 0) 126

The electric motor is efficient and powerful, they really are. The aceleration is stupendous. Batteries on the other hand LACK severely. Hopefully the solid state battery grail will pan out and we can finally see a genuinely useful EV.
I need a 300 mile range and a 4 hour turn around. I want to take the wife out to a movie in the evening after a long commute.
