Live in Colorado. It’s really a quirky thing...some days, even after multiple years here, I’ll get the altitude headache when skiing or hiking. Most other days, I get nothing. Our bodies are weird.

I was gonna say, the truffle interior looks like one of those YouTube detailing videos where they showcase absolutely vile interiors that they try to clean back to normal.

When the Rivian R1S pricing came out, I cross-shopped it with the Tahoe/Yukon. When you actually try to marry up features and specs (big V8 from Chevy to try to compete with the Rivian quad motor, air suspension, upgraded stereo, pano sunroof, etc etc), you end up with two nearly identically priced trucks. Add in the…

It does. Currently running Verizon & Fi, neither with a physical chip.

Came to share the same. Nest also has a remote temp sensor you can purchase, and you can schedule the thermostat to look at one sensor vs another based on time of day. For example, my office is on the third floor of our townhome. Obviously, it bakes in the afternoon more than a 4/20 concert at Red Rocks. Nest looks at…

It also creates a much less safe vehicle for pedestrians, both by increasing the hood height (whereby impacted pedestrians are more likely to be hit in critical areas and then swept under the vehicle) and greatly increasing the size of the “blind spot” in front of the truck.

Seriously. There is literally no mid-size EV pickup at the moment (I’m sure Ranger or Tacoma EV will arrive at some point), so have fun finding anything comparable at any price point anywhere on earth.

This sounds like poor planning work on Lucid’s part. While issues, especially this year, are to be expected...these issues are things that should have been planned against with a set backup strategy in mind (x has a ##% rate of not coming in on time, so add to inventory and/or source with secondary supplier to reduce…

Even gas cooktops may be on the wane (slowly). Induction, for some strange reason, is still not super popular in the states, but it’s miles more efficient than gas, cooks just as well as gas (can add/remove heat with just as much ease), and doesn’t have noxious fumes billowing into the house.

*except Florida.

Apparently about a ~3% difference. Minimal yes, but not zero.

Austin had some of the scariest drivers of any city I’ve ever lived in. Many times where my mortality was tested (including one head on from a drunk driver at 10am and getting hit as a pedestrian on a well-lit intersection in Mueller).

lol, I just mean it wasn’t a Tesla-generated warranty issue. Just my dumb luck from picking up my wife from the airport.

2nd Gear: As a Tesla owner, the sales and service experience is one of the major reasons I went with one. Literally the most hassle-free car purchase I’ve ever had.

And yes, we had humans to interact with...scheduled 3 test drives and drilled the showroom agent each round. Kindly greeted with no-bs answers to all our…

Grew up in Indianapolis, currently live in Denver. You literally could not pay me enough to move back. Sure, I can live in a mansion, but it’s still a mansion in...Indiana.

So that would exclude most new cars these days, as the available supply for them is near-zero....

That’s definitely $200+ PER NIGHT...

They’ve done this (same stipulation...pre-order just gets you the place in line, not a locked-in price), albeit not with a 20% delta.

I have to second this. First gen was an abomination...second was actually pretty handsome.
