One thing to keep in mind with ALL EVs when shopping: the advertised mileage is under certain conditions. The estimated mileage shown in your dash is under certain conditions.
The number you really need to keep an eye on is the estimated miles per kW. The Ioniq 6 has a 77.4 kWh battery on the SEL model (minimum model I would recommend), so at highway speed it was estimating me between 2.5-3 miles per kW. So for highway speed, my estimate is about 193-232 miles before empty. I actually calculated it while charging up yesterday and the miles per kW meter was fairly accurate, while the estimated remaining miles lagged behind significantly due to my largely short commute miles.
Your highway mileage will always suck. That’s why you must plan ahead accordingly.
The other thing I recommend…if you are looking now, lease, don’t buy. If you want to buy, wait for 2025 models with NACS plugs.
I cannot understate the impact Tesla has had on charging infrastructure. You will find many more NACS public chargers before finding CCS chargers (that work).
Edit: also, for the Ioniq 6: digital green exterior is the best color imho, but the green shows up best after either paint age or the right lighting. Everyone called my car black when I first bought it.
Bought mine back in October. Tesla was permanently off the table, first because of Elon, then second from all of the QA issues, shoddy quality, and months long waits to fix anything needing parts.
I went for a Hyundai Ioniq 6 instead. Absolutely love it.
Yeah we tried a few other systems after our main 5e campaign ended. Ars Magica, Lancer, WH40k Wrath and Glory, Blades in the Dark, Cyberpunk Red. My group is not one for roleplaying much, so we prefer crunchy systems. Lancer was great for that, and so is Pathfinder 2e.
Agreed, we’re about half a year and halfway through Abomination Vaults right now. Using PF2e with Foundry VTT has been amazing, especially with all the built-in automation.
The thing I like most about Pathfinder is how well documented their rules are. 5e had a bunch of hand wavy DM-fiat rules, while PF2e typically has a rule for almost everything.
My personal preference is Patriot flash drives, and has been for the past decade. I’ve got 3 older flash drives that I would commonly use, and they were very reliable.
I just recently bought this one, as I was looking for a drive that would take full advantage of USB 3.2 speeds. It definitely does, I get 300+ MB/s writes regularly on it.
I still think one of the craziest examples of multiplatform streaming being required is from Pokemon. They have a whole guide on how to watch every season:
Agreed, we’ve been playing AV and secret checks have been great. Using a recall knowledge check and crit failing is fun, because you get fake information and have to work with that knowledge.
I made the mistake once of cleaning transitions lenses with a paper towel. Those scratches were not small or unnoticeable sadly. Since that experience, i strictly stick to microfiber.
Got a source? I'm genuinely curious about that, since I know cold fusion has been long considered the holy grail of energy generation. I just want to hope that it isn't mere science fiction now :(
China built 37 of them in the last 10 years according to the article. It doesn’t take forever, it just takes foresight and planning, which most of the Western world lacks beyond the next quarter profits lol.
The baseline capacity nuclear provides can get evolving countries like China out of the fossil fuel phase, which is critically important. I don’t know what your problem is with nuclear, it’s been a relatively safe and stable form of energy generation that’s far better than any fossil fuel.
Edit: and I just read the top comment in the thread that they're building a fuckton of coal plants too. Damn it.
There is a lot of investment in energy storage solutions. Everyone knows how critically important energy storage is for our climate change present and future, and whoever develops the best and most scalable solution first will make billions of dollars.
Nuclear fission doesn’t get that much investment afaik due to overblown radiation fears, while safe cold fusion is the real end goal of energy generation and deserves more investment than it gets now.
Nuclear is a good middle step to full renewable, it’s not the end goal. There’s not enough storage capacity right now for energy usage at night, which is where nuclear can fill the gap until efficient energy storage can be achieved.
