Eh, my neighbors Honda Pilots and other friends Toyota Siennas are heavier than my Y.

I find the touchscreen actually less distracting and easier to use than the cell phone I had to use in a Honda civic. Also no critical functions need to be done on the touchscreen, they can all be done via physical buttons on the wheel or s

Model Y are driven by tons and tons of “soccer moms” and dads. Probably the most common car now per capita, at least in my area.

Yeah, I find the complaint now kind of odd. I'm now able to use USB C for almost everything except a few older devices that we'll eventually fade out (a baby monitor... that's about it). I'm happy with the situation ove

Right? As another parent of a toddler, neither I nor any other parent I know of toddlers are getting as much sleep as we’d like want…

I like their designs well enough, but I’d hardly call them “out of the box”. Slightly edgy.

I felt the same. In the last year I test drove the Model 3 (pre-highland), Y, and pretty much all their competitors. I still landed on a Y, and I love it. I'm always surprised at how much hate Tesla gets ... I understand some folks

And/or Buy the AirPods Pros at Costco. Headphones fall under their standard return policy (or did as of about 2 years ago) so if they break, you have quick and easy recourse.

I don't buy the assumption that others are "subsidizing" the USD when they choose to use it -- they're choosing to use USD for their own benefit.

But it’s a function you can choose not to use. My Model Y doesn’t even have FSD, I didn’t buy it. I could buy and use it, but I don’t. It doesn’t concern me that it exists, the Model Y has been an awesome car. If I did buy and use it, its l

I love my Model Y, and the supercharger network. The charger network in the US is so much better than any of the competitors in terms of reliability, why would I support the others? The other car manufacturers constantly roll back their h

As an owner of a Model Y -- I'm aware that its current implementation of FSD would do this. I don't pay for FSD, so it does not do it. Also, this is a bit like someone turning on cruise control and then just letting the car go o

The cheapest Model Y right now is $44,990. You have to remove the "gas savings" and other subsidies that individuals may or may not qualify for to see this cash price.

I still work in part for fear of not having enough to provide comfort for the family, but I've been rolling it back slowly. We could have our son in preschool from morning to 3pm, or morning to 5-6pm with aftercare. I chose to pick h

This (spending+net worth) is easier to get a handle on if you don't have kids, but as soon as I had a kid, the exact amount of money I really needed for full retirement with a degree of comfort for my family became a lot harder to trac

I was thinking how this string of thought could connect to our daily lives. As a family with a toddler, if we fill up too much of our schedule/time in a day, a perturbation to the schedule can break everything. If instead we fill up

Oil ads? I hardly recall seeing ads for oil. Maybe ban ads for ICE vehicles would be more in line with their goals. Not that I necessarily support that.

>But the flip side is kids can get totally emotionally distraught or enraged over tiny things. Oof isn't this the truth. The tiniest things will drive my son into full meltdowns right now.

I took a bus home with my toddler one day when waiting for the planned ride was going to take a longer time than I was originally expecting. I didn't think much of it, but for him the bus ride was WAY more interesting than the zoo we

FYI, I was told by an allergist that things cooked in peanut oil don't tend to have a similar impact as other peanut products (I think) because the high temperature breaks down whatever it is that causes the allergy.

Good point! I should have said "many other cultures".

That's a lot of peanut! Cool. We also used peanut oil when cooking... didn't seem to help us though.

My anecdote. My wife ate PB&J sandwiches all through pregnancy and when breastfeeding. Still, my son was diagnosed with a peanut allergy as an infant, before he was even old enough to really munch on a Bamba. Also "We have no pean

This implies that for-profit companies and not-for-profit hospitals would not lay off employees if they could. What support do you have for that?

This is part of the reason why vehicles need to also be taxes based on pollution. But road-wear needs to be compensated too. It's worth mentioning that in the US, plenty of ICE vehicles weigh more than a typical EV. Honda Pilot, Toy

That's the unfortunate truth about PG&E rates, though that's only true because the terrible external costs of gasoline pollution are not taxed and compensated. For almost everywhere else charging at home is 1/3 the cost

Ha, that’s funny! That’s similar where I am in the US too, early on there were EV exemptions to some carpool lanes, but that’s phasing out as EVs are normalized.

I think this is just about new car sales? Less well off can still by used ICE, which is what they would be anyway. Or even used Model 3 are in the low $20k USD here. Used Chevy Bolt are $10-20k, some leafs are cheaper.
