In speed and torque, yes, but not in sound and tactile feeling.

Welcome to downvote city, where every comment that brings forth negative aspects of EVs are downvoted!

I agree btw.

Pros and cons as with everything in this world. Great to hear that you had a good time in the model Y. Thanks for letting me know that I'm not all alone with these not-lemmy-approved comments

Nope. Hoped Lemmy would be better but it's just like reddit: disagree -> downvote....apparently. I thought up/down voting was supposed to help filter out bad contributions, not silence people with opinions that are different from your own.

We agree. True but 'better' in what ways? EVs are, as you know, extremely heavy. Is this better or worse? If you don't have a car that you like to drive for the sake of driving, then it might not matter. If you are like me and like to fun on small roads then you might hate heavy cars because of the handling. Most EV lovers don't understand such things because they have a car for the purpose of transportation, not for the purpose of "the drive". Maybe bad generalization but I have yet to meet a person who have had as much fun in an EV as in a more traditional sport oriented car.... Except for the ionic 5 n, but I think there's a novelty factor involved here.

If I only needed my car for transportation, the I would buy an EV, but only because of the reduced fuel costs.

Fair enough. Do you do track days yourself? I would love to learn more about what I can from listening to my tires.

Still, no engine noise.

I'm not a EV hater, just saying that there are more to cars than 0-100km/h stats and range. And to me, most of these aesthetic qualities are lost with EVs. The only EV that looks interesting from a aesthetics point of view is the inonic 5 n, imho.

Why on earth do you get down votes? This is the truth. Downvoters just straw man argue pointing out that 'just charge your car at home', which isn't the matter of discussion. There isn't even a discussion to be had - it is faster to refuel a car than recharge. Might this matter to you? Maybe, maybe not.

*If you have a homecharger

It is faster to refuel your car with petrol.

Yes, thought the same but have a quick look at this: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=WLN3QrAAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate Seems about right? But yeah, must be advising lots of students or something. He is rarely the first, second or even third author on the papers.

Thanks for your detailed reply.

1. The solution for setting the clock seem to work! Awesome.

2. I don't have kWallet enabled but saving the password as unencrypted in the network settings.

3. Hmm, I just installed akmod-nvidia.x86_64 with dnf. Tried to run nvidia-settings in terminal. I get this error:

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded

(nvidia-settings:14910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.551: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

** (nvidia-settings:14910): CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.552: ctk_powermode_new: assertion '(ctrl_target != NULL) && (ctrl_target->h != NULL)' failed

4. • 5. I guess I need to hop distro again! :( But it will probably be faster than fixing

Thanks for the suggestion.
