All new cars have the same problems. Mediocre interiors for the price, spyware, and rent seeking behavior for stuff like automated highway driving.

100%. It sucks, the prices are insane. Ours was insane. And those issues apply to all new cars, regardless of fuel.

We have a Hyundai Ioniq 6, about 18 months now. It has a touchscreen like all EVs (I know, there’s a truck) but it still has a lot of physical buttons, unlike a Tesla which has gone way too far with the screen. We tried the Mustang and liked it, but liked this better, plus my wife wanted a sedan.

Biggest pro is it’s not a Tesla. Also, I get home, plug it in, and go inside. Takes five seconds, and five more to unplug it. Plus, it’s not a Tesla. Way less time than it takes at the gas station to fill my truck. It’s also fast, a lot of fun to drive, and finally, it’s not a Tesla.

Con would be road-tripping. If I was doing a ton of that, I’d be perhaps looking for an EREV of some sort, although 20-80% in 20 min isn’t exactly horrible. Charger is CCS, but sometime this month Hyundai is sending me an NACS adapter, so no more issues there - we did have one time where we had to wait for CCS when a NACS was open, but not exactly a massive issue. The new models are NACS.

Forgot to mention, in US, range about 300 miles or so, and there was a sensor issue that ended up with a harness replacement that didn’t cost me anything under warranty, but had an estimate of $8500.

Doesn’t seem to indicate whether groups will work with vertical tabs and unless that’s the case, I’m not switching from TST.

We chose to do a little bit of “buying ahead.” Where I would buy one pack of TP, I bought a second one, and when we use the first I’ll get another. Nothing we’re not going to use within a few months anyway, not looking to build a TP throne but just a bit of cushion. We were already mostly doing this anyway since covid because it seems like there’s random shortages here and there that didn’t happen prior, or at least not enough to notice.

Really, nothing beyond what I’d want to have for a natural disaster where we’re on our own for a few days. Trying to be prudent without being a weirdo.

Village idiot

That’s exactly what we got, an I6. Love it.

We bought a Hyundai EV. Would have seriously considered a Tesla, but.

I would support a cutoff for president at say 60 when starting office, that would keep us below 70 for a two-termer. That’s plenty old enough.

Also the 18 year rolling term limit idea for SCOTUS.

I’d be happy to see an AOC/Buttigieg ticket in 2028.

Warren for sec of treasury. Walz for HUD or even better, cabinet level position in charge of figuring out the young man problem. He’s representative of the role model a lot of young men are missing imho.

I don’t wanna see another dem pres candidate that’s older than me (mid 50s) EVER AGAIN. The problems my kids are facing aren’t going to be fixed by old people, and while I’m not quite there yet, I’m fucking close enough.

This is a good place to start for helmets. They have the same sort of ratings for different sports so if nothing in the equestrian list looks good, you should check the bicycle list. Note that it’s not necessarily current for everything but it’s a good starting point.
