Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k
paequ2@lemmy.today 7 hours agoEvery car I’ve owned has had a way to change the speedometer from freedom units to ✨ metric ✨ .
For knowing what speed I should be going, I roughly follow these numbers. (Note, these are not equivalent.)
- 35mph -> 50km/h
- 60mph -> 100km/h
- 70mph ->110km/h
Also, very roughly 10km ≈ 5mi.
However, most of the time I just follow the flow of traffic.
I voluntarily switched to metric like 10 years ago, so meters, celsius, grams, etc make more sense to me now.

You missed the joke.
I was making a joke as if kph and mph were physically distinct things and only one of them worked in each country.
