  • lol, I looked at the cheapest Ioniq 5 in my area on Amazon and at the dealer's website. $8500 cheaper directly from the dealer since they offer $7500 off for using their preferred lender. $1000 cheaper if you don't use their lender

  • I am pretty staunchly antireligious in my personal life, but I try to meet folks where they are. If you are not a wild evangelical just being hateful all over, then you're probably good by me. What you believe doesn't really matter to me until it starts to try to interfere with my life.

  • While that is true for some cars, not all cars, EV or ICE, are built equally. One of my previous cars got all the preventative maintainance, but it still started to break down constantly at 120k miles (Saab 9-5 if you're curious). The issue is that while we have a lot of reliability data for ICE cars, there isn't much for EVs. Ideally they would have higher reliability since they are relatively more simple, but at this point we do not have long term data.

    Also, and this is an article problem, not a you problem, years owned is not as helpful as miles driven. Even in EVs, the slight degradation you see YoY could be amplified by driving 50k miles in a year.

  • I don't think that is what was going on here, though. They were saying TikTok and Facebook are both equally bad. You may not agree, but at no point did they say it was a good thing that China gets your data. They said it is bad that both China and the US get your data.

  • Yeah, and that is kinda my point too. Like, I want to engage, but unless I know the source I am not inclined. There are too many shitasses on YouTube for me to click and discuss anything on title alone.

  • Semi-related story. When I moved to Seattle I lived in a neighborhood that had reputation for drugs in the 90s and early 2000s. In my entire time living there, the only member of my family that was offered drugs was my dog. "Hey poochie, want some weed?" is still a refrain in our house. She would have taken it too. The robot dog drug dealer is like the flip side of that.
