We ended up testing driving a 24 Mach E Premium AWD with extended battery - $54k MSRP and a 24 EV6 GT Line $59k MSRP. This is for my wife and she was driving, but I liked them both and she did too. There were a few things that the Mach E did better and vice versa, but overall the Kia seemed to...

When you say ATV, do you mean UTV / SxS? For trail riding, I doubt they'd be particularly popular unless batteries get a lot better. For UTV use, they'd probably work out pretty decent.

My wife has this on her list to test drive before she has to pick a new lease up in November. Things can obviously change in the time between now and then, but Ford lost the tax credit, dropped the residuals and increased the money factor on these by quite a bit. It ended up making them...

When I think sporty, that's Mxxi, SQx, 43/53, etc. That's 400whp+, bit better handling, brakes, etc. In the size range of vehicle you're looking at, that puts you at 100k new or around 75-80k for a 2023 with low miles. If you drop down 1 size to that of your current vehicle, then you can get...

I had something in mind when I used that word. You obviously have idea that differs a bit from mine. I stated my intentions for the word but you don't seem to believe me. That's OK, but I'm not sure how to take your last couple of sentences. It's like you can't talk to people with differing...

I said they were under closer examination, which is quite easy to prove, which does not inherently mean that they are under "serious examination". I could list multiple serious recalls from various manufacturers that you've never even heard about. But when Tesla has a recall that requires a...

I already pointed that out in the same post you quoted. But that should help them, yet I really don't see any manufacturer getting called out weekly on the few social media platforms I use for serious recalls. Which should be literally weekly. I was referring to the same thing that the...

The subject was manufacturer recalls. There are recalls from all the various manufacturers weekly, some pretty serious, but I don't see them highlighted in the same way that Tesla's are.

I wasn't trying to imply that their time line was less impressive than their peers, only that none of us know how long they were working on it before they rolled one on stage 4.5 years ago. I'm not trying to give them a pass, but Ford has over 20 different vehicles with multiple different...

You don't actually know when they initially started development on the truck, so I'm not sure how you can comment whether the time frame was impressive or not. We do know that in November 2019 they showed a basic functioning prototype. It's not uncommon for a manufacturer to take a new...

It's a little under 50 cents a day to rent a server, which is cheaper than it would cost for me to have a computer running 24/7 in my house doing the same thing. If you're playing with multiple people and you need the server up, then it's a no brainer just to rent one.

I glanced at some of the reviews and I think people are just bandwagoning the MTX. There is a lack of knowledge and obvious regurgitation of this info, like the Portcrystals. The poor performance is an issue for me though. So I'll be waiting until they either get it fixed, or it's the best...

I want to buy it now, but I'm going to wait a month or two for patches.

I'll play through the Souls games once every year to year and a half, playing a build I haven't tried yet. I do the same for Sekiro, but obviously no actual builds in that game.

ARK is only fun if you play with some friends. I feel that way about Palworld a bit as well, but between the pals doing work for you and drastically easier environment, it's not that bad solo.
