Comment I will probably never buy another ICE vehicle (Score 1) 115

Our last four car purchases have been EVs. We got our last lease in before the subsidies ended. We may buy off the lease. We'll see how things are in another couple years. On vacation right now with an ICEV. Such a turd, but at least... um... yeah... Chevy Malibu FTW.

Wow, you sure took that ball and ran with it. A terror attack on the US will not make Trump look good. Republicans are likely to lose the House and possibly the Senate in 9 months. Trump and his ilk have been cagey about calling the terror attacks by name, because they know they inspired the attacks. With the current level of domestic surveillance and trigger happiness to shoot white people, let alone brown people, a major attack is unlikely. Just soft targets or perceived soft targets like that congregation in Minnesota. Jews are buying guns.

She's a lady in Mississippi who is on Zoom a lot. I have another remote worker. He's a former student. Also on Zoom a lot. I have another remote worker. He's a longtime friend who used to be in person. On Zoom a lot. I have another former remote worker. She is a friend of the lady in Mississippi. Was on Zoom a lot. Figuring out who a remote employee is does not require much effort. It just requires actually running a company and giving a fuck.

Have you ever driven one at more than twice the legal speed on a canyon road? Have you ever driven a model 3 performance at similar to lesser speeds on the same road? Just checking if you know what you're talking about. Hell, have you even driven both these cars at all?

Sure, by some value of "great" that isn't backed up by any objective measurement. I'm going to call it "it gets 10/10 on making you feel like you're driving a Jaguar." They set the standard:

My point is that his perception is positively fucked. It cannot be reconciled with reality- his feelings for his Jaguar have nuked his objectivity.

There are a lot of objective ways of measuring all sorts of things about car performance, including ride quality and track numbers. A car that gets great track numbers usually sacrifices comfort and, often, performance on the road. A Model 3 Performance is a great track weapon, one lap at a time. On the road, the one lap issue mostly goes away, but then the terrible design of Tesla suspension, which as far as I can figure goes into weird geometry issues on mid-corner bumps, raises its ugly head. Sure, you can put in stiffer springs and dampers to limit the travel away from those extremes, but then you have less wheel travel and a worse ride. I know from experience. I also have driven the I-Pace on the same roads, and it handles mid-corner bumps with aplomb, as does the i4. Hence, a stock I-Pace can be driven harder on questionable canyon roads than a Model 3 Performance can, but the M3P is faster objectively on track.

The average user has a blizzard of threads flying all at once. My 12 cores and 16 logical processors all show activity. Apple's chips are great, but this one is not a multi-processing powerhouse. Also, this article is kind of BS because it cherry picks a benchmark for a lame headline.
