Not comparable stock. Even in Q1 2022, 75% of all EV sales in the US were Teslas.

When I bought mine, I legitimately tried to get a Ford or a Volvo, but the dealerships had no stock and kept adding insane dealer fees and markups. With my used Tesla I just had to wait a week for delivery. Musk hadn't gone fully off the deepend either yet.

I really hope journalists stop called IBM Red Hat. Red Hat is dead.

I used RIF for 12 years and I think Thunder is pretty close. The only thing it's really missing for me is better comment navigation.

I actually really enjoy the gesture upvoting it has, and it's very customizable. The debs are super active and responsive on github and matrix too.

CachyOS is also really easy to install and treats KDE well

We have them in Florida. It's just very cold in the Northern USA.

Wooosh.

It's a copypasta from old Unidan reddit days

Season 1 was pretty good, but after that it went downhill quick

I'm sure being a woman has a nonzero percent chance to do with it

Assuming that consumers will be rational is a bit premature.

Tesla wants to position itself as the Apple of cars, and it's largely succeeded. Most techies or people more in the know might be quick to dismiss them, but I don't think that's the opinion shared by the public at large.

There's still a wait time for pretty much any new Tesla

Depending on how much you drive and how expensive your local energy bill is, the economics can work out better than you think.

I usually charge at home, and my equivilant cost per gallon (assuming 25mpg) is about $0.50/gallon.

If I drive 1000 miles per month, that's about $140/month I'm saving. If gas prices increase to $6/gallon, which I'm sure they will eventually, that's $220/month.

It doesn't justify a new Tesla, but used ones are getting cheaper finally.

I own a tesla, and stopping every couple hours to charge really isn't a big deal. Going from 20%-80% usually only takes 15 minutes, which is enough time to use the bathroom and maybe grab a snack. Most superchargers are in decent locations, so there's always something to do for that time. Even when there isn't, I just watch Netflix or something
