Every other EV has a 50% range penalty while towing. This won’t be any different. The ~85 kilowatt hour battery in the state truck is the same-ish capacity as the model Y, but has 2/3 less range total than the model Y. Sadly, there’s no way that it’s more efficient than the model Y.

That said, for sure using the bed to haul tools would be more efficient, but now you’re talking about using gas tools because there’s not enough capacity in the truck to charge them up between jobs. They needed to make this thing the “model 3/Y, but a truck”, but they failed even at that.

The long range model’s EPA range is 240mi, so 120mi while towing, more like 100mi considering that you absolutely cannot run an EV 100 to 0, and that’s best case scenario. That maximum 100mi is not enough for a day of landscaping.

The slate software is in no way going to be the industry standard. Car manufacturers are all looking to create parasitic software for their cars.

Slate is DOA based solely on how terrible the range will be.

To be fair, I’m waiting on the R2 as well, but I’m strapping in for first generation fit and finish issues galore. Rivian hasn’t surpassed Tesla in software or aftermarket flexibility.

Not to mention, we probably won’t be able to take delivery until late this year despite paying for a reservation from this past March.

The bz4x/bz/Solterra is still the worst EV on the road, bar none.

Worst range of all EVs, flip phone quality software center stack, and the same price as a model y. It’s nuts that anyone would buy those pieces of shit.

1. Because conservatives do not want tax dollars going to people in outgroups.
2. Because most Americans lack an understanding of statistics. You cannot use the logic that it’s cheaper to pay on aggregate for services through tax dollars, nor that the evidence shows that the monetary losses of a socialistic system are less than the gain. They don’t understand.

Genuinely, can you link me to it? And not an icon pack,I want the entire system ui to be glossy and blurry.

If graphene had Liquid Glass I’d unironically switch to it. I can’t stand flat looking UI.

This work for you?

I fucking cannot wait to see that ford is dead. Their cars are such fucking dogshit.

What rose from the ashes in 2010ish is the shit we’re dealing with now.

The desktop environment you choose is really down to what you prefer:

Like trackpads? Gnome

Like the Windows desktop (and/or like customization)? KDE

Like windows XP flat UI or brutally simple UI? Cinnamon/XFCE

Common names are easy to parse gender until they’re not. I just met an elderly man named Courtney. My niece’s legal name is “Jaime”, which is a common male name amongst Mexicans. My elementary school had a Pat of both genders. Sam as well.

Then there are names from other cultures that speak non-Germanic, non-romance languages. Good luck knowing Mandarin or Cantonese names by reading them. Same with some Irish and welsh names. Same with names from Africa.

Niche communities don’t turn on a dime to a new platform. He’s on Twitter because his audience is on Twitter.

My lightning is a gigantic piece of shit. It’s been in the shop 40 days in one year of ownership. The infotainment screen software runs at 15fps. VW doesn’t have an electric option with at least 320 miles of range (afaik) and their infotainment center screens are way too small (15” is the minimum at which a screen can be useful). Rivian is unaffordable and has the same slowness problem with their software. (Tesla does the right thing which is putting a processor that’s way overpowered in the infotainment stack which means that the software will be 120FPS for years to come)

I’d buy Chinese if I could, but I can’t. Chinese cars are the only cars that are as high of quality in the infotainment department (the most important part of a car), and I’m absolutely pissed that that is the reality.

I buy the card with the highest benchmark scores that I can afford. It’s not a political green vs red choice.

While Fort Worth is a red city, it’s still a major city in the Dallas area. Fort Worth is not full of rednecks who work the fields

And in order to prosecute, you need an opposition party win or a republican with a backbone.

The whole entire point of a car is long road trips though. Especially in Europe, you want to live as close to your job as possible.
