It’s still new tech stuff even if it is ‘just a rocket’. It’s the first fully reusable rocket, that is also only two-stage and also a super-heavy. They are iterating fast compared to normal progress in this industry. Artemis has been around for 8 years and they only have a single flight under their belt. Starship…

Because the 1500 mile trip had multiple hours of breaks stretched across it. Time to actually eat food at a table and not just munching on a carton of beef jerkey with one hand while driving with the other all day. There were 2 of us in the car and during the night we did take turns napping for a couple hours here and…

Adding a new base trim had been promised since 2019 seems is an entirely separate situation than “discounting in desparate attempt”. If the thing does not exist now, and gets created at a later date, that is not a discount, it’s just a new product.

Tesla Already Discounting Cybertrucks In Desperate Attempt To Boost Sales

My personal record is 1505 miles in one session on the interstate in a Model Y going from Florida to New Hampshire.

Fine for paint, bad for dents

I remember coming back from a friend’s house and stopping at a stop sign (and not stalling), but then trying to get going it was bucking like a bronco. The lady in the car behind me starts wailing on the horn. I look back and it’s my next door neighbor absolutely trolling me

I’m not going to go as far as saying it was a completely enjoyable experience, but I’d do it again. The worst part was when I found out this used to be a parking lot for construction equipment so there was THICK asphalt about 8" down I had to buy a pickaxe for.

When I bought my 3rd car, a very used 1987 Pontiac Fiero, I didn’t know how to drive manual yet. I actually had the seller take me for a test driver as a passenger, and then my dad drove the car home. Learned to drive manual on that, which I agree, oh so fun. Especially as a late teen and YouTube wasn’t really a thing…

Did you read the article? They said the discounts are because the 2024s only arrived in December, and here it is January 2025, when people in the new car market aren’t wanting to buy an “old” 2024 model year if they could get a 2025 for the same price.

My car has such strong regen I don’t even use the brake pedal unless someone cuts me off! It made me sick the first week of driving it way back when, but I quickly got used to it and now vastly prefer the driving experience over my older cars. I’ve got a high/low setting but always leave it on high, even in the snow.…

You as the driver are in control. Treat removing your foot from the accelerator as an analog input rather than a digital input. Instead of popping off suddenly, just slowly ease off, and it will have basically the same effect as easing onto the brake pedal, but without using the brake pedal.

My actual first car was a free hand-me-down from my mom the year before I got my license when got she a new car rather than scrapping hers.

But the two-drink limit, however simple to write, may not be fully scientifically backed.

Great catch! GT was the top trim and only available as a 5-speed as far as I can remember.

Very impressive, thanks for the data point. I’m just speaking in general that there are things consumers worry about when buying used cars, and battery health is the #1 worry for used EV buyers in today’s age regardless of if its a valid concern or not with current-generation batteries.

It’s already a big concern on the used market about the longevity of EV batteries, and will continue to be for years to come. If someone did use DCFC every single day, versus someone who used it only a few times a year, you’re taking a huge gamble on whether the battery will survive just past the warranty period or if…
