Funny you should mention audio because I enjoy really good audio but on equipment that's often cheaper than run-of-the-mill equipment (and certainly way cheaper than the audiophile hype). Again it comes down to listening and savoring t

Indeed. We've been conditionned to think we need a lot of meat, every meal, every day. This has driven the need for the industry to produce more and cheaper. I'm an omnivore but try to eat less meat, and find higher quality meats

And that is why I buy less and less on Amazon. If I don't have an exact product number, searching on Amazon is a painful waste of time. So I search on Google or eBay, find a product number, run a search in Amazon. Until a few years ago

In practice, I found charge time to be irrelevant as long as I can get it fully charged overnight. I didn't even bother installing a fast charger in my garage since the trickle charge was good enough for my needs. A longer range means

I had the 2013 and the 2015 models. The edgy design was on purpose, as the car appealled to a segment which is ready to try out something new and live with the rough edges. Branding actually reflects that even though it's subconscient
