The words are backward if you go the original page and turn on reader mode to get around the paywall. “Ha ha!”, they say, “your reader mode powers are no good here!” So archive.ph is presumably just picking that up.

From TFA: ”The end of credits hit many EV rivals harder. Overall U.S. EV sales fell more than 41% in November and Tesla's market share rose to 56.7% from 43.1%, the data showed.” So EV sales are down, less so for Tesla than other mak

I'm in a hiring position, and I would blacklist any candidate that wasted my time like this. If you offered a position and, as described in TFA, they didn't show up then it seems obvious to me that this hypothetical candidate is

Kind of a crap article that seems to be a thrown-together reading list. The subtitle promises more than TFA delivers.

It’s a beta, Apple Store isn’t going to help. File a bug, as Apple is famous for their timely bug feedback and fixes (that would be a strongly sarcastic statement, for those that have not dealt with Radar).

“Full” meaning 80%. With a 300 mile range, that’s plenty for day-to-day. But to your question: I don’t know, does it still? Seems BMS has gotten a lot better from the early Nissan Leaf days, so I don’t if it yet time to retire that along wi

On the other hand, I would never ever consider a traditional motocycle (partly because they are so noisy). They don’t come that way, jackasses modify them. My large displacement BMW is louder than our ICE car, sure, but you probably won’t

I guess I should have said "a more inconvenient time" where owning an EV kinda revolves around your charging setup/schedule in a way that you don't have to think about with ICE cars. I plug it in when I get home, and w

…to have a worse time Says the person who has never owned an EV. Fifteen years of EV ownership, I’m never going back. Environmental factors aside, an EV is the overall better vehicle. You can keep your rattling ICE vehicles that need spec

“Additional weight”? What additional weight? In comparison to America’s best-selling vehicle, the Ford F-150? Where was all this hand-wringing about weight and brake and tire dust ten years ago? I guess those narratives aren’t going to supp

The cellphone that’s buried in my handbag? I think you missed the expressed use case (admittedly, a few paragraphs into TFA): ”Before, I would take my phone out of my pocket to jot these down, but I couldn’t always do that (eg, while bicyc

An anti-clickbait measure, IIRC. I can’t, off the top of my head, think of an example this prevents, though.

And those of us that became the canary in the coal mine are telling everyone, especially those on older phones, to hold off. iOS 26 killed my 13 Mini’s battery life, and common tasks (particularly with Safari) take more taps. I’d go on, b

So no, "decades" is bullshit. First car I looked up from 20 years ago (I own one), and the automatic does just a bit better than the manual: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2005_Scion_xB.shtml
