Three Olives posted:Why? That is what I have, 29 days of PTO to use as I see fit which I normally combine with our 9 paid holiday days , I've never had any questions about it, you aren't even required to give an explanation for it unless it was not pre-approved and it is more than 2 days. I have some tenure extra PTO, but our base is 22.

Why can’t you just be open to the idea that someone might need a truck to transport a couch once every four years?

Tesla just launched a version of the Model Y that has no rear seats. Only available in France for now. https://electrek.co/2024/03/06/tesla-launches-model-y-2-seats-smart-business-solution/

I don’t think the R3 is coming out until like 2027. By then the EV market will be drastically different. Looks like a great car but it’s hard to be excited about something so far in the future.

Geely is one of the only car companies still doing business in Russia. Volvo is owned by Geely. If you buy a Volvo you are basically funding the Russian war machine. I don’t mean to make a facile point like they’re all bad or funding war is worse than being a hateful personality. Just that it was a thing I thought about when deciding whether to put my deposit down on a Volvo EX-30.

https://youtu.be/O0cs8aIXgkc It ends with a comparison to the PT Cruiser lol. None of this was new to me, posting only because the Cybertruck looks sick in that video. I recall gushing over the Ioniq 5 when I first saw it. Give us something different, automakers. Just different is good enough.

The idea that this is all about Musk is just in your heads. It’s a whole-of-industry slowdown. Maybe Tesla would have declined less without the bad press, sure, but you only need to see every other carmaker’s struggles to gain a sense of perspective on this.

Are we doing this again? Should we post a list of every carmaker’s sins so we can find the most ethical car to buy? Not to downplay Musk’s deeds but I think this moralizing is only happening because no one’s bothered to research the other carmakers and their shareholders.

There’s no way long detachable cables are the solution. The solution is people parking in weird orientations for the next 10 years until the industry standardizes on where to put the charge port.

Speaking of self driving, my Hyundai Kona only has regular cruise control so I couldn’t wait to try adaptive on my rental Toyota. It’s perfect. I think it’s safer than me driving the car by myself. It dealt perfectly with cars suddenly merging into my lane. It made a two hour drive so much less stressful.

Do you guys try to rent EVs when you’re in a different city? We’re visiting the Dallas-Fort Worth area and I was looking to use it as an excuse to try different makes of EVs on Turo. The area’s pretty sparse on non-Tesla fast chargers and there’s no L2 charging at our Airbnb, though.

Three Olives posted:It starts at $65,400.00, I can't imagine why anyone would get that over the Lyriq which is nicer with a lower starting price unless you were super, super, super attached to the Acura brand. Which I am sure that there are some people that are, just doesn't seem like much of a market at that price point.

The reality about the Supercharger network is that it probably doesn’t need to be that good. The competitors are trash and soon it won’t even help sell Tesla cars anymore, since everyone will have access. Short of juicing government grant money, there’s not much reason for Tesla to invest heavily in it.

Rode in a friend’s Rivian SUV, which was in red, a color I didn’t realize they have. My conclusion was it’s a nice car but less luxurious than I expected. There was a bumpy stretch and even at the cushiest setting it wasn’t very cushy. Maybe I just expected too much from a $90k car

Mass layoffs are just a really direct way to fix your cost structure. Most of his wealth is in Tesla shares. The most direct thing he can do to boost his wealth is to can people and juice the share price.

There’s apparently a killer lease deal for Polestar 2s now. $299 a month. Being a Costco member will shave $2k off your fees. The 2024 model has a longer range (320 miles for the single motor, 270 for the dual) and uses a new drivetrain. Booked myself a test drive tomorrow.
