I’ve noticed that people without Teslas REALLY give a shit on what I drive when I could care less what they drive. They have a feeling like 95% of EV owners want every ICE vehicle banned and forced to drive an EV. I echo the same about why I like my Tesla. I’ll only say that the lack of maintenance and fuel costs is offset by the 2-3X insurance increase of a similar ICE vehicle.

My girlfriend has a Volvo XC60 Recharge plug-in hybrid and loves it. You can even recharge the EV battery off the engine.

You do have to watch out if it’s around zero degrees or colder using max defrost and possibly cracking a windshield due to the almost instant heat in cold weather. I like to run the climate control to warm up the cabin then later defrost.

Defrosting a Tesla is pretty quick since it’s straight battery heat, no engine to warm up.

Let her out, DFAS will send her a big bill to pay for that aero degree.

My daily driver is a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance. I drive 48 miles round trip to the base I work at and it costs .60 cents to charge. I love it; it's been one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. Just hit 30,000 miles on it and had no issues other than the shit paint that Tesla uses. Things that I would recommend: Don't buy Full-Self Driving (FSD). You can get it for a month for a $99 subscription for long road trips (if you want). Get a Level 2 charger installed in your garage. If you live in a colder climate (I live in Denver), make sure to precondition the car (battery and climate control turn on). The range won't be affected so much by cold weather. The insurance for EVs is absolutely ridiculous due to the cost to repair them and the fact if the battery is damaged in a crash, the vehicle is most likely to be totaled. Just like an airplane, autopilot is cool when it's engaged, but you still have to monitor it and it'll do weird shit and you'll have to take control. Sunglasses will fool the camera inside the car and you won't get as many "pay attention" alerts from the car when autopilot is on. EVs are very heavy compared to similar ICE vehicles; you'll go through tires faster. Most tire manufacturers make "EV only" versions of their tires that have stiffer sidewalls (like BQs Mom). The Tesla Supercharger network is great, however with more EVs now using Tesla's adapter as the industry standard, expect to see longer wait times. If you're buying a Tesla, get a CCS adapter so you can charge at Non-Tesla fast chargers. YouTube TV works in the YouTube app for Tesla. Sentry Mode pays for itself with the fact it's always recording from all the cameras all the time (if you have at least 20% of battery life). Model 3 Only: Get the Performance over the Long Range. Both are AWD, however, the Performance has Sport Mode which is insanely fast and the range difference between the two models is negligible. Don't listen to anyone who doesn't have an EV about how it is to own an EV. They're usually dipshit and spout off some propaganda they learned on the internet. If you miss an ICE vehicle, just get a fun one. I also own a 2024 Z51 Corvette Stingray.

Gaetz announced he’s not rejoining Congress within the next year.

Gaetz pulled his AG nomination. Now he’s effectively unemployed.

I don't think people who have never been falsely accused of a crime, and acquitted, understand the "innocent until proven guilty." They're also the dipshit who don't realize how easily it is to be accused of a crime and fuck up your personal and professional life.

Would it only damage him if what they found was substantiated? Just because he’s no longer part of the House doesn’t negate the possibly of him doing, or not doing, the alleged conduct. He’s also nominated to be the top federal prosecutor, which would be perilous if he possibly committed ethical violations.

Then why did the Speaker ask for them not to release it?

If that’s the case they’re probably still in the air.

Crew probably flew home from the boneyard on a KC-135.

The super funny part is the current 509 WPS/CC is an Asian chick.

I worked with a guy who did AFPAK Hands as an O-6. He said it was really shitty that the O-6+s in the program just surfed a desk at the Pentagon and didn’t have to live in Pakistan.

Alaska Airlines just merged with Hawaiian Airlines.

His LinkedIn still shows him as the Deputy of McConnell.

Name?

One of the best leaders because he's your boy from your community? You're right, China doesn't have ADS-B or anything.

AMC/CC retired. Maybe MX can paint tail flashes and tail numbers on the tail again.
