  • That is absolutely correct. 110-150 miles of range is exactly what I want. Actually, I was figuring 100 miles at and-of-life, which is basically 120, or or so, at purchase.

    The reason I say I will not buy a sub-200 mile car is that one doesn't drive an EV from 100% to 0% charge. Everyone I know runs 80/20. That takes 40% off the top. A 200-mile car is only good for 120 without pushing the battery.

    Those numbers don't even take into account the fact that when I do want to travel 100+ miles, I'm not doing it on city streets at 20 mph. Freeway driving can be expected to take at least another 15% off the EPA range, considerably more with climate control and music.

    Suddenly, even with that 200-mile car, I'm looking at a drive to Sacramento trying to decide whether to over charge, stop on the way, or drive slow with no tunes and no AC. That's OK with me. I'm willing to make adjustments for the benefits of running electric, but I'm not going to get something that can't be used for longer trips.

  • The used EV market is what's really preventing lower-income adoption. The insanity of the secondhand prices over the pandemic is only now beginning to break. I'm seeing polestar 2 models with reasonable miles in the high 20's. That's an enormous discount off the sticker. Tesla has also seen serious price drops.

  • 300 is more than I need, but I do want 200 miles of range.

    I would absolutely buy the Mini if I could expect to go over a hundred miles from 80-20% for 10 years, but with a 110 mile range on day one, that just isn't happening. The 2025 model is rumored to have increased range. If that's the case, I'll probably get one.

  • The rapacious micro transactions we see in games today started on mobile. People associate mobile games with that model. I have some mobile games, but these days they're all premium. The gacha system just starts to feel like work to me after a while.

    As to the stares, non gamers always sneer at gamers. You're playing games in public. They'd probably give you the same looks if you had a handheld console.

  • I think the main source of confusion in this actually comes down to the conjugation of read.

    Read and lead should be conjugated the same, but they aren't. Add to that all the additional homophones and homonyms and yeah. I wouldn't jump on anyone for screwing this up.

  • It's one of those things. Common errors are sometimes specific to native or to second-language speakers.

    Quite often, in written Spanish, you'll see b/v errors from native Spanish speakers, but never from English speakers (because the sounds are different in English). We're far more likely to confuse vowels, diacritical marks, and conjugation.
