Yeah that’s me. Commuter.

My EV requires an order of magnitude less thought and effort than my gas cars. No oil changes. No air filters. No spark plugs. No gas stations. No clutches and throw out bearings. No diff fluid or pinion seals. No chain lube. No grease fittings. Two years ago I set the max charge and then I was done with maintenance.

Fake shifts are dumb in theory and in practice. Half the appeal of an electric powertrain is that there’s NO transmission. It’s not an automatic that needs to be creatively managed to make it feel like the driver has control of shift points, there just aren’t any shift points. I get picking the half-second-slower…

I’ve learned, having had this discussion many times, that “off-road” means wildly different things to people. There are optimal setups for whatever off-road might mean in the moment, but I have to agree that the all-around gold has to go to this guy:

Fast EVs are awesome because you can trounce the average Challenger in utter silence. There’s little as satisfying as hearing a Mustang absolutely howling as it shrinks in the rearview while there’s nothing but the faintest motor whine in the cabin. It’s just my take, but enjoy ICE cars for what they are and enjoy EVs…

Yes. That’s why I still think his original version is best. 

I still think the OG NIN Hurt is best. Cash’s was great, zero arguments, but Trent wrapping up a show with Hurt will always be peak Hurt to me.

As another 20-year rider with a Grom in the garage, the short answer is yes. The Grom is a great bike to hop on and figure out motorcycling. The caveat is that it’s an ‘around town’ bike so once you’re comfortable riding, the bike may or may not suit your purposes. If those 8 miles are back roads, the Grom will be…

These would be sweet on the trail!

As a Tesla owner: Haaaahahahahaha!!

It’s not that hard. The speed is no farther from the windshield than it is looking at gauges through the steering wheel. The heat map is huge and you don’t have to look at it to see what’s going on. Lap timer is right up top. All the text is huge. It’s easier for me to read than Track Addict on my phone mounted to the…

145 kW lol. Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.

Maybe they can fix it with an OTA update?

Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there about the Sport Quattro vs. Ur Quattro. Glorious perfection:

**Disclaimer** - Tesla owner here.

Using the manual door release doesn’t necessarily damage anything either. The window rolls down a bit to clear the weather stripping when you use the electric door release. Tesla advises not to use the manual release regularly because it doesn’t lower the window and it can wear or damage that weather stripping.…

She gives you all the context you need right in the video:

I don’t have an update waiting to get the wording exact, but it does tell you to do the update when you don’t need to drive for 20 or 30 minutes. She knew enough not to open the doors or windows during the update. I can’t imagine she got through all the steps to update and was then surprised after. As far as bricking…

My Android phone has to restart for an update. So does my Windows computer. I don’t think downloading, turning off, and restarting is asking too much for a software update. My car spends plenty of time parked, I don’t need to do updates on the fly, so it’s hardly an inconvenience. Kudos to Hyundai for going above and…

You have to try to do this. The app notifies you that you have an update. You have to click start the update now or whatever the go button says. Then it gives you a two minute countdown to change your mind and cancel (or exit the vehicle). Then it starts to update. Incidentally, I’ve never had an update take 40…
