Yeah this site is delusional anymore. I used to visit daily but now it's just relentless whining about Tesla and fawning over whatever junk Kia puts out. Boring.

To be a tiny bit fair, the lower end cars—especially the ones eligible for the tax incentives—are super competitive price offerings for a lot of gas alternatives or hybrid cars. If you are swinging for an environmental daily driver, a Model 3 or Y ain’t exactly a bad choice.

I have a Model Y and I don’t miss the knobs. The only “knob” I use constantly is the media volume setting, which also acts as track forward/back (or radio presents) when you click the wheel sideways.

It’s amazing when someone posts a comment like this and my opinion of the site they’re insulting goes up. If they’re pissing off such low-intelligence, troll-bait like this, they must have something going for them.

Every time I see ‘family sedans used to be fine and should be now’ I read that as ‘I do not have small children and I have no context for the size of a newly manufactured rear-facing car seat’. The seats are fkn huge.

rd is not at all better.

I second this. I’ve got a 2018 Model 3 with HW3.0 retrofit and FSD Beta. Absolutely phenomenal on the highway. On city streets, just pretend you’re the parent of a teenage driver: usually things are good enough, but just keep a watchful eye because they’re still learning the edge cases.

Would AI be any more or less trustworthy than Mack?

Ew, please don't. Such an embarrassing car. Might as well be driving the the car equivalent of a small purse.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything on it recently, but there are studies that show there is a shockingly high amount of people who would be crippled by a $500 surprise expense. Even in my high income area, there is usually data that shows a lot of people are carrying several thousand dollars of credit card debt. CC…

I am sure there will be atleast one person wanting foot tall chrome RAM lettering across the back of a minitruck.

A company plans on opening a drive in movie theater, with a retro theme.

This.

From statistics I’ve seen Apple phones are a relatively small part of the market (10% to 20%) because Apple squeezes every last dollar out of a customer AND it’s a cult. I tried Apple computing at a job in the Aughts, I was not impressed. Apple, which squeezes you and Tesla run by an Incel who actually gets laid…

I think you've hit it square on the head.  I expanded it in another comment but animation across the board has struggled since the pandemic -- Encanto was an outright bomb theatrically -- and I think your comment is the prototypical insight on why that is.

I can see that pulling down the numbers, the last wide release animated movie “The Bad Guys” took over 2 weeks to reach Lightyears weekend numbers and is only up to $95 million domestic now. Add in the righties who can’t stand same sex couples being normalized. 14 countries banned the film over that. Saw it today with…

Maybe... Just *maybe*...

Good thing America declared the pandemic over, so there’s nothing to worry about anymore.

Make that a $30 million fine, and then, possibly, they will consider not pulling a similar thing in the future. But while individual customers have to sue separately for their 100, 1000 or 10.000 dollars (which obviously 99% of them won’t do, because it won’t make financial sense for them), Robinhood will keep…

In a way, the panties are appropriate because when this guy talks, all I hear is incessant queefing.
