^^ that’s been bugging me all day. Was hoping someone else would ask WTF is going on so I wouldn’t have to do it myself.

Anyway, found out for myself. Pretty neat.

So Elon let Andrew Tate back on Twitter, where he tried to wave his dick at Greta Thunberg about how many cars he has, who owned him so hard he had to make a video to have the last word.   Romanian police saw from a pizza box in the video that he was in the country and raided his villa and arrested him for all sorts of fun stuff.

Don't :censor: with Greta :rofl2:

He's such an idiot.  I never tire of idiots being busted.  Especially when its their stupidity that got them busted!  :rofl: :rofl2:

But I also saw her reply to him.  I thought it was very un-PC to to make such sexual, body shaming comments in 2022??  Or does that only apply if it's someone from the right saying things like that to someone on the left?  Seems a bit of a double standard....which doesn't surprise in the least.

As we :censor: and moan about the weather, a 7.8 quake has hit Turkey.

Did anyone feel the 3.8 near West Seneca, NY, this morning?

Took my friend's new 330e for a drive the other day. It was super cold out (close to -30) so the car said it had zero electric range. However, it would start off in electric mode and if I accelerated slowly would stay in that mode until a bit over 40 km/h. The transition seemed pretty seamless. To me PHEVs still seem like the best of both worlds for most people.

I agree.  My fear, though, is the complexity.  Savagegeese posted a video about this the other day, every product seems like a stop-gap to comply with regulations, and who knows (a) their longevity and (b) what parts availability will be like in 10 years.  These are lease / disposable products.

I think it depends on which manufacturer though?

Like I have no problems with the longevity of my Prius Prime.

But not sure I'd have the same trust for other manufacturers.
