Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
I bought a new car a few months ago and really, really wanted to buy an EV. Problem is, I'm going to retire in a little over a year and told my wife she could pick where we move to. I don't know where that's going to be, or what the infrastructure in the area will be like. Also it's very likely we'll be taking a lot of driving trips, and reports from my friends who have EVs about cross country trips seem annoying to me - having to plan around where chargers are.
I ended up getting a Hyundai sonata hybrid, and I'm very happy with it. It's a good-sized sedan, but I get between 40 and 50 MPG, which is more than double was I was getting in my prior car. I'm pretty sure my next car (my wife's next car, really) will be an EV assuming we move before we buy it.
