I’m not sure where your belief that work somehow defines me come from… Maybe it’s something from “your culture”.
You make so many assumptions is wild and tiring to even bother to repute them. I’ll leave it here as I’m not convinced you’re actively engaging in any sort of conversation anyway.
Some very bold assumptions.
Reality is, attitude like that doesn’t get you hired. I don’t hire based on people’s view on AI and LLM, but I do hire on attitude and one’s ability to be molded to fit the job I’m hiring for. Hasn’t failed me for 20 years and this is far from the first fear mongering in tech.
Sounds like I walked into reddit antiwork crowd! Always black and white with you lot… If you’re in industry and market that allows that? I’m happy for you.
Spoken like an unemployed person…
Why would you sabotage or stagnate your career?
Especially as cars do come with 7 or more years of warranty, like KIA.
If you give me 0% for more than 5 years? Sure, I’ll take it. Our EV is 2021 model, I’m in no rush to sell it. I’ll reach the mileage warranty unfortunately before the timed one.
Yes. Because it’s us. Anything not us is always going to be less valuable. You’d kill 100 lions if it means saving 1 human.
At a point where you’re still on Twitter… You have some sort of punishment kink.
Especially sexual assault stat. Only the penis haver can do that!
Does it do any of this?
Efficiency - 4 miles per kWh minimum. Obviously that’s for saloon / hatchback. Something like model y size 3.5 is acceptable. And this is something I want to verify myself, very few cars achieved this in my test drive.
Key less entry - I’m too used to it. I don’t want to go back to having to carry keys. I leave the house with just my phone and watch, both can pay for things and open things. They’re locked behind my biometrics so I deem it safe.
Sentry + dashcam - again, this is minimum in today’s day and age to me. The car should always be recording. I’m not getting 3d party camera in a car I already paid +40k for.
Fleet control - this is very country dependent. I can charge my car using wall plug and get super cheap rate or use a dummy charger which isn’t connected to my electricity supplier and the car will let them know how much electricity the car used and it’ll adjust on my bill. In quantifiable terms, this is a saving of 1/4th of charging cost or one of payment of £900 for installing compatible charger per location.
Boot space - I have family, space is needed. The easiest thing for cars to achieve really.
Software - be it accurate navigation, route planning or the touch and feel of it. Tesla Navigation is one I have most experience in. But I have serious confidence in it. I have arrived at home with 0% charge several times because the car said it could. It also got us through insane storm where it also accurately calculated the extra battery drain due to elevation and wind. Do other cars do it? Do they do it well? I know one thing, using Google / apple car play circumvent the in car navigation and charge networks so the built in map is actually important. One day hopefully they start supporting cars and then it’ll be non issue.
People hate on screen only, but I genuinely have never had problems with it. My wife also has no issues opening glove box, adjusting AC or changing songs or putting gps…
Driver safety - this is fairly high on the list of things which will male me hate the car. When you watch a car review. Pay attention to when they say “it’s super easy to turn off driver attention system!” THAT is a red flag. A car shouldn’t have such abysmal safety measures they’re annoying and you need to turn them off each drive because they self turn on. MG has the most annoying one and the dealer HAS LITERALLY TURN THEM OFF IN FRONT OF ME before letting me drive the car. I can’t express how bad some of these are.
Auto steer and cruise control - pretty much standard now days. I don’t need FSD, just simple keep this speed and don’t crash and on motorway, keep in the lane for me. Tesla autopilot is very good but others have come a long way over the 8 years.
Look - I want a sporty looking car and interior I want it to be leather like feel, no fabric, no tacky “recycled” look. I’m paying serious money and I want some comfort. It’s a low bar and pretty much any car I’ve test driven in the price range has been good enough comfort wise. I personally like minimalistic, but I’m not opposed to say the Taycan level.
“There are better cars”
There really aren’t. No car has gotten anywhere close to the level of tech in Tesla. But sure, let’s ignore that and spend more on shittier car because FUCK YOU. no nice things for you while there are hungry kids in Africa!
Buy what you want, he’s set for life regardless.
As an electronical engineer… Electricity is scary.
Be mindful of it ALWAYS. The behaviour can be learned. I come from line of electricians and looking back, some times I do wonder if the saying is right… Please don’t test cable by tapping it with the back of your palm, you’re not smarter by not touching it with front making potentially your hand spasm and close on the cable… The smart thing is to NOT touch it at all.
