A lot of people are too alienated from everything, or can’t make relationships between brands and what’s behind them, because everything not directly visible in front of us is too abstract for them, and there’s those who are like “all brands are terrible, it won’t make any difference anyway”. Well, and there’s the nazi sympathizers…

I’ve been considering getting an electric car, and have been researching good models, and I can’t believe how many places are still recommending Tesla. I know the fediverse is far lefter than most other places, but I thought at the very least the general population had stopped trusting Musk and his scams.

I switched all my EVs over to GM-related products and, despite a variety of differences, some good some bad, I am overall happy and fine with the change.

Hyundai Ionic 6 (sedan) or Ionic 5 (suv). I have the Ionic 6. It’s great! Even better than my old Model 3 because I can use Android Auto. AND I haven’t had the 6 reboot on me during highway driving.
(My Model 3 once rebooted while I was driving on the highway.)

Good to know, thanks! I’ve seen a lot of good things about Hyundai as well, though I do get concerned given how many issues I’ve had with my 2 Kias over the last several years. I was considering waiting to get an EV Corolla when they apparently come out in a year or two, but I also don’t know if I want to wait that long.

I rode in a Tesla last week. Some of the tech is better than what I’ve experienced in other vehicles. To be fair, a lot of the controls are way worse and key functions are buried in screens and menus that are difficult to find.
I’ll never own a Tesla, but I do hope the always on wireframe view of everything around you comes to other vehicles. It’s way easier to see pedestrians and cross traffic in a parking spot on that screen than it is the 360 camera view on our new Traverse which is only available in reverse and for a few seconds after shifting to forward.

“Profits”. It’s all just Three-card Monte but “legal” since the laws don’t apply to the rich.
