Some couples share a car, others each have their car. One situation is very different then the other, and sharing 1 car between a couple is not even comparable to someone’s laptop - which is theirs.

Are you sharing the Acura/Honda or is it _your_ car? Because if it’s your car then it is forcing an opinion. If it’s shared it’s different because you both will use it. (Not to mention the price difference here) Laptop is hers, for her

It’s enough to get you 50-100% of your range. And it is a great idea on long trips or off-roading (and can sometimes be required)

20L can is half to a quarter of range, two 20L cans will fill the tank of a miata, half the tank of a tacoma. For people in a city who never leave it? EVs are great. Everyone else not so much. Personally I think plug in hybrids are the futu

Lol maybe take a look at Canada where towns are 100km apart and an ambulance can potentially be driving constantly on an 8 hour shift. Not to mention the Fact they have huge alternators on them to power all the medical stuff.

Running out of gas is an easy fix, go get a jerry can of petrol. What happens to an ev? Tow to the nearest charger?

I can keep a couple jerry cans of gas around and toss them in the back of a ICE to get 150-200% of my range, or share with people in need. You cannot do this with an ev.

I think you can exclude Netflix from that list. Streaming services have fractured into a dozen different ones so piracy has come back. Still applies to games/music and probably audio books.

Parent comment was basically “removed to force people to wireless” - I disagreed. That’s all said I do still wish the iPhone had a 3.5mm Jack, or heck even 2.5mm would be fine as the dac on the iPhone is better then most you’ll find in a us
