Can’t see the point (or barely the difference).  I also can’t wait for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 to get to Australia so I can see it in the metal.  It’s currently my choice of future EV ownership.

‘OSs don’t matter for consumer computing’

Enjoy it.  Just don’t expect me to join you.

With you right until the last word.

You don’t have to be old. I work with a woman in her 30's who basically dared them not to sell her their last car for what she would pay. It worked, and I think I might ask her to buy my next car for me.

I’m not sure what you are saying here - are you referring to the higher sales of some colours over others, or erroneously saying that iMacs were not popular until recently because they were only silver?  Either way, have at it - it’s just not clear.

Yeah, that is basically the Australian experience as well.

Yep.  I love pineapple.  I love pizza.  I don’t love them together.  At all.  And for those who say ‘just pick it off’, the juice is cooked right through every bit of the pizza.  No no no.

So does that mean in the US you usually buy new cars from what they have at the dealer? I have owned two new cars here in Australia and unless they have exactly what you want from the few new cars available, I would have to (and did) order from the factory. The only caveat is that the first one was picked off the line…

I’m not surprised anymore - I am the oldest person in my work team by about 18 months and two of the three others weren’t born when I started my job in 1990.  The other person is the team leader and she is the one who is close to me in age.  It’s fine - when I retire at 55 in about 3 years, they will still have…

I won’t be able to afford a Tesla when I retire in a few years and get (hopefully) an EV, but if they do open up the chargers, there’s one about 5 minutes drive from my house if I ever need a quicker charge than a home wallbox can provide. Since I am looking at the Ioniq 5 right now (this could change as I have at…

It’s always fun when someone says they got something when they were a kid in 1995.

I’m planning to have a home charge point (3 phase if I can, but probably not necessary.  With the amount of driving I do, I might only have to charge twice a month and it won’t matter if it is not quick).  The announcement by Tesla that they will open the Superchargers to other cars would probably take care of any…

I am serious about an EV as my next car, as I don’t drive long distances and my only requirement is that it have decent carrying capacity with seats folded (no, I don’t want a van).  I haven’t seen the Ioniq 5 in reality yet, but I am hoping this kind of car might be it.

Nothing you said will discourage the external view that Americans are insular and don’t know or care about the rest of the world. However, that’s just a crappy generalisation - it’s unfair to judge any individual you might meet based on such a thing. What is ‘wrong’ is assuming that Americans are the only people who…

It probably isn’t true, but it would not shock me if it was. All CEO’s that start successful companies probably think they should/could run everything.

True.

I’m in Australia, and I would have liked to have the opportunity to check out a Bronco, but not for this amount :)

Calling all fools - opportunity to part with your money is here!

I would love the option, but it’s not coming to Australia - otherwise, it’s probably about the same length as my Holden ute, so size not a problem and I live in the country, so city hassles only rarely occur.  I would have really liked to check it out.
