This is false. They aren't really that much heavier, 1k lb or so. It's not the weight that tears up tires it's the instant and 100% torque when you hit the accelerator. If you go easy on the launches your tires will last longer.

Everyone should have a main account with a local credit union and then secondary accounts with whatever "fintech" banks you want. I keep multiple accounts and everything flows through a local account first and then gets moved elsewhere. Currently I'm using revolut as my secondary to help budgeting.

I question his fitness for office if he had no clue, they aren't shy about these beliefs and they have gotten less shy post trump.

You had respect for ikea? There stuff is cheap and shitty, it's great for a dorm room or first apartment but it's not really made to last.

I use resilio sync across my work and personal phones and I use it to backup my phones to my nas. No need to turn it on/off, it's accessible only via secret key or shared link and it's encrypted.

I know sync isn't foss but it's the best one I've found over the years and it just works.

Only when I overdue it with it caffeine and other stimulants.

Luxury isn't about price point. And last I checked, you couldn't get a new tesla for 40k.

Saying that tesla is luxury is like saying that McDonald's is fine dining.

Do yourself a favor and look up the comparable pricing for the ioniqs versus tesla. Tesla has always been overpriced (from factory) for what it offered.

One thing.

Tesla has never been known for luxury at all. I'd bet my ioniq phev was more luxurious and my 5 most definitely is.

I think that's the point and the inspiration for the name.

They used to have a decently priced unlimited ticket that you could use to see the country during summer break. Get on/off the train whenever/wherever you want.

I'm going to call bullshit on that premise.

Holy shit. Why did I read that. There is zero science in that and it's nothing but religious, woo woo, bullshit. That domain and this user are definitely getting added to my block list.
