I test drove one the other day and both myself and my wife felt like our souls were being destroyed. Idk but it just felt like the most basic, boring car. 

Most places have incentives for chargers. For me it would be up to $700 for a charger and up to $2k for necessary electrical work, which unless you’ve got a really small or distant panel should be plenty.

I missed the end of your comment- what do you mean about used prices being too high?? I’ve been shopping and found numerous Kona EVs for $25k, Ioniq EVs for $12-19k, BMW i3s for $10-30k. We have $7k in incentives for use in my area(including $4k federal) making used a hell of a deal.

If you’re cool with only 100 miles of range there are many options, and good deals to be had used. Mini Cooper SE(125mi), BMW i3(80-160mi), Hyundai Kona Electric(260mi), Hyundai Ioniq Electric(125-160mi). I believe all of those used qualify for the federal tax credit of 30% up to $4k if you are within the income…

Whatever that thing is called that pops up across the screen when you resume a game from sleep… is there any way to stop that? Once I’ve woken the PS5 and hit the login button, I just want to be back in my game, not on the weird PS5 suspend screen. I wouldn’t mind it if I could just rid of the superfluous crap above…

As an engineer this is endless cringe. And not at the boat people. Signage is not a substitute for safety. People might not see a sign. If you have dangerous heavy machinery that can smush a boat, you should be controlling access to where it operates! Good safety is passive. It would be one thing if they had to…

The PS3 being cloud based isn’t for no reason. Emulation of PS3 games is still a technical challenge, and otherwise individual games have to be ported. It’s fairly likely that they are running a server farm of actual PS3s or cell processors to do provide the streaming service, because it it more cost-effective that…

We are thinking of getting a Polestar 2 because you can get a preconfigured one relatively quickly, at MSRP. Or you can order exactly the one you like and wait for it. I’m pretty sure we live too far for delivery but don’t have to go to the storefront until the car is there if we don’t want to.

It seems implausible to me that there is a physical issue for reading CDs. Blu-Ray players including the PS3 had no problem handling them. The blue laser reads the wider spaced CD data just fine. There is no difference in physical dimensions of the discs either. It is more likely that they just didn’t want to pay the…

I think you got your wires crossed somewhere. When the PS2 came out, it was offered full backwards compatibility. At that time Nintendo only supported BC on handheld, and I don’t think Sega did either. When the PS3 came out, it offered 2 generations of BC. By that time, Sony had a reputation for offering BC, but then…

What makes it bullshit? It needs to be slightly uncommon words from time to time. Words that have to interesting consonant clusters are kinda fun anyway. Once you narrow down the vowels the tree pares down very quickly.

I said this in another reply, but in real life melee combat, kiting and making space are crucial when dealing with multiple adversaries. Control of spacing is actually the most important part of true martial arts.

Kiting is so useful because the combat is relatively realistic. When training in martial arts on how to deal with getting mobbed or dealing with opponent(s) who have a significant strength or armament disadvantage, making space is incredibly important. Obviously there are some issues with boundaries which make enemies…

This. It boggles my my that at the very least, just having low beams that you can leave on and go off when you turn the car off isn’t standard yet!

It’s not DRLs usually, it’s parking lights. Which the continued existence of since the invention of the retroreflector and hazards defies logic. The double whammy is that the headlight indicator in many cars also lights up when parking lights are on! I’m very aware of the issue and STILL had it happen to me. My…

Toyota offers VIN lookup on their website. It doesn’t show the monroney sticker but it does show most vehicle details including factory and port installed options. It may also show MSRP, I don’t remember.

I loved this review, however I think it is misleading to label Xbox games as multiplatform because they are available on Windows and multiple Xbox versions. I got excited about the game and then realized I can’t play it. Multiplatform should be reserved for games that are available on at least 2-3 distinct companies’…

That selectiveness is why I love going there. Although some buyers are less picky than others, and some junk slips in. But instead of wading through all the cheap crap at certain thrift stores, when I do find something designer it usually really is. You pay more for that, but it’s still a good deal, shoes and suits…

First, why do so many people believe that you need AWD to function in the snow? Maybe because they have never thought to have a set of winter wheels with snow tires. But as a very experienced snow driver, FWD with snow tires is totally dependable. Older AWD cars were actually worse, because although it’s not so bad to…

So you’re saying that I should sell the 2006 Chrysler 300 with the 3.5L before it blows up on me? It was given to me by a family member, it’s got 127k miles and I’ve put about $2k plus a lot of my labor into getting it into decent shape. Still needs new tires, new leather for the left front seat, and a good detailing.…
