  At least they still make minivans, everybody else stopped making them in favour of these ugly-ass “SUV” which are worse in every aspect except towing… There are only 4 options on that market now (well, five if you count the Pacifica separately from the Voyager/Grand Caravan, but it’s more of a trim difference, so let’s say 4.5)

  Maybe, I know Teslas are a bit power-hungry when parked.

  My wife had to try charging on a 120V outlet last winter. The plug couldn’t even keep up with the battery heating requirements to actually start charging; the battery percentage was going DOWN while plugged in. It was -25°C outside though, so it’s a specific situation, but it’s actually why she had to try to charge; it’s a trip we can easily do without charging in the summer.

  I think you’re confusing the PS1 in the ad with the PSOne which came out later and had rounded edges.

  I’ve always wondered if vegetables from a farm that uses horse-drawn tills instead of tractors would be vegan… It’s a real question, but everyone I ask thinks that I’m trolling.

  In theory, the government is elected by the public. Not a given these days, I know.

  I’d be okay with the govt owning shares, honestly. That way the public would get a voice in how these megacorps operate, and that voice would get bigger the larger the company becomes.
