  • The kia is gorgeous! It’s incredible how they’ve improved all of their designs in the last couple of years! I love the ioniq 5 but really dislike the 6 because of its rear.

    The built quality of Tesla is greatly exaggerated. Tesla is the most shorted stock so people with big pockets push really hard to make it look worse than it is. Never had any issue with mine, of all my friends with Teslas, never heard any issue except for the old models that were fixed right away in their driveway under warranty.

    The whole experience of Tesla with the keyless system (you just walk to your car, open the door, sit, it adjusts the seat and wheel to you, and you just drive away, no button to start, just engage the speed)

    The navigation system (reading from your calendar or suggesting based on your habits, sending an address from your phone even hours before you get into your car, selecting from favorites, voice search or typing in that huge responsive screen and it just calculates everything including charging stops based on peak usage to select one with less chance of any waiting time, no other company does that)

    The scheduling to get the car ready (heated in winter, cooled in summer), it even defrosts and remove the snow from almost everywhere as it’s all glass, incredible!

    The charging experience (charging stations everywhere, super reliable, like 3-5x more reliable than others, the speed of it, I almost never have to wait for it because I’m going to get food or emptying my bladder, the streaming services built in with Netflix/Disney/… always available, the games built in with controllers)

    The clean inside that now makes me see all other cars as commercial airplanes, the autopilot that makes everyday drives and long road trips a complete pleasure and super relaxing, the constant updated with new features…

    Of all this (and more), some other manufacturers get some stuff good, but none gets anything as spot on as Tesla, because they vertically integrate the whole stack, they know software, they know hardware, they know user experience. I can’t see myself use any other car than a Tesla until something close gets to the market.

    But, I understand not willing to support Musk, just as I don’t want to support Apple or Bell.





  • To me, autonomous vehicles are like AI (it actually is AI in the case of Tesla): the public perception is that it’s way better than it really is because it’s really good in 80% of cases. But to get to 90-95% will take many many years still. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use them, neither abandon them. To progress, we have to keep using them with caution. Learn the limits and work within it. Don’t start firing people to be replaced with AI because in a few months and years you’ll realize that the 20% left to improve will be hurting more than your thought. The same way you shouldn’t remove drivers just yet.


  • The mother still pays and is very capable of providing. 3k is not the bare minimum when it’s, by decree, the maximum allowed by the state.

    It’s not because you can spend that you should and want to spend your money (I could spend more than I do, I prefer keeping some for emergencies and special projects and investments.

    Texas has a child support limit, but it might not be the only reason he wants to do it the, he might have more chance to keep custody there over California.

    People keep downvoting anyone who is not against Elon Musk, no need to be supportive of him, just simply stating that some arguments against him might be wrong is enough to get downvoted to hell.
    This is just Reddit all over again.





  • ChatGPT’s answer is on point:

    A content creator is someone who produces and shares content online, such as videos, blog posts, or social media posts. An influencer, on the other hand, is a person who has the power to affect the purchasing decisions of others because of their authority. knowledge, position, or relationship with their audience. While content creators may also be influencers, not all influencers are content creators. Some influencers may simply share their opinions or experiences with their audience to influence their decisions.
