Then why even reply… Waste of time and space. It’s ok to just move on.

Lithium batteries are very expensive(20k) and don’t last 250-300k miles. That’s an undeniable fact.

Engine swaps are not even close to that. You can swap 5 engines for the cost of a full battery swap.

And EVs aren’t saving the world. They’re saving a few people some money on gas. Which is much less than the extra cost of the cars unless you drive a lot, or live somewhere with expensive gas.

20% battery degradation after 100k miles is not a small issue. It’s extremely significant to the equation of value.

These aren’t “opinions.” They’re facts that are well addressed and talked about routinely. There’s no secret information about the limits of lithium batteries. They’re literally 18650 batteries. The same batteries consumers used for over a decade. We’re all aware of battery degradation.

Some people are in denial. And that’s on them.

You see lithium degradation curves here:

Yes. They’ll be “functional” for 2000+ cycles, but they don’t hold much charge after 1000 cycles.

Ya that would be difficult for a Tesla fan. Easier just to make a baseless claim and pretend you could but simply don’t want to refute anything with facts.

There’s nothing wrong with or abnormal about being aware of your image or how you are perceived. Knowledge of self and self awareness and all that. Standard unavoidable reality of life.

I don’t doubt it can last 20 years, but I doubt any Tesla will last as long as an average Toyota. We know batteries have limited cycles. When an engine takes a shit it’s a few grand. When batteries take a shit, you’ll never even consider replacing them because they’re 5x-10x more expensive than the car is worth. So off to the landfill. Definitely saving the planet or much money buying a higher end model Tesla.

I think it becomes economical sensible for a lowest priced model 3 if you qualify for all the rebates (state and federal), otherwise it’s an early adopter tech toy.

I don’t see why I should care, as long as their not assholes, not breaking their own rules, and not abusing their powers as devs.

Small group of many, many millions of people. We like milk. We don’t need commercials to tell us it tastes good.

I honestly don’t know what the fuck you weirdos are trying to accomplish. Are you saying we don’t enjoy milk? Or simply that we shouldn’t?

Because if the argument is that it’s advertising that made use enjoy is, you’re wrong. We enjoyed it well before ads.

And if your argument is that we should dislike something simply because you expect us to dislike something, I think you’ve got your own disorder.

I don’t hate what you hate. Fool, Get a clue.

Glad my ancestors survived your favorite famine. Also glad I have feet. Evolution is neat.

Btw I’m Italian. We drink milk. And we eat cheese. We are tied with Japan for the longest national lifespan. We will also drink coffee if there ok with you. Thanks! Do what you do over there. We got this.

Most the things I like are “icky.” Luckily what I like isn’t determined by a child. I like liking things.

Where I live raw milk is highly regulated. More than pretty much any other food. It’s extremely safe. I am sure on some places it’s a risk.

And it does in fact taste much better than pasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk to me probably tasted like what canned milk would taste like to you.

I’ve got news for you. Adults drank milk way before any of those things existed.

I only drink raw milk anyhow.

Tbh the best newsites are paid. It sucks. I use archive to get around it, mostly. Free sites usually just rehash the paid site’s actual scoops, with less information, days later, and are cluttered with ads, or feel like lame a blog.

And when I had a free account, those NYT graphic based interactive publications and data visualizations were S tier. Whoever makes those is making the best technical web content around.

And their real time election coverage when the polls are closing - with the needle - is always the best way to see what’s really going on in terms of where the votes are outstanding, and what that means in terms of what the final number will be.

Eg

Also, newspaper journalism in general has always been monetized though a subscription.
