Maybe, I know Teslas are a bit power-hungry when parked.

My wife had to try charging on a 120V outlet last winter. The plug couldn't even keep up with the battery heating requirements to actually start charging; the battery percentage was going DOWN while plugged in. It was -25°C outside though, so it's a specific situation, but it's actually why she had to try to charge; it's a trip we can easily do without charging in the summer.

It's also frozen at some point which does kill most of the bacteria

Like 115 grams. A pound is 454g, a quarter of that is 113.5g, which would probably be rounded up.

My old Odyssey had 18!

Yeah, it was funny teaching my grandmother to use a computer... She couldn't use a mouse, but she typed really fast!

I'm 35 and my daughter is 15. When I'll be 37, 16-year-olds will litterally be younger than my actual kid. This is all kinds of fucked up.

Yeah, mine is a 2024, got it late last summer (Elon's antics were relatively limited to Twitter at that point...) so it's way too early to change. My M3 has ~50 more miles of range than your Mach-E and I did need all of it a couple times last winter when it was -20°C. Good to know about the insurance; but I think my next car will probably be a Kia or Hyundai, I really like their offerings in that space. Main reason I didn't buy one this time was the delivery delays; it was 6+ months here in Qc.

Tesla owner here. Yeah, it sucks.

I live in a rural area without any form of public transit within ~50km, I frequently travel long-ish distances, so I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint by switching to an electric car. After comparing the different options, I went with the one that had the best price / range / charging options / availability for my needs and that happened to be the Model 3 Long-Range.

Fuck me, right?

At this point, I just hope vandals will see my "deport Elon to Mars" sticker before setting mine on fire.

Usually it’s the same price

Notable exception to this would be the Spigen phone case I recently bought. It's 20.99 on Amazon, but 39.99 on Spigen's website.

It's true for a lot of other things, though, Amazon especially here in Canada hasn't been the cheapest place to buy stuff in quite some time.

It'd probably come in handy if you started sports shooting. I do Olympic-style air pistol shooting, and part of what I'm currently training on is focusing my eye on the forward sight, not the target.
