@rysiek Special venom in my heart for the progress bars that hang out at the top of the page, because every time I scroll down that progress bar moves and the movement pulls my eyes off the text and back to the top of the page.
0/10 UX would strike with an axe.
@aeva ahh I see, makes more sense knowing about swipe. I never did figure that out myself, heh.
@aeva how do I get your phone's autocorrect on my phone? This one thinks I want to talk about waterfowl all the time.
@frank @jwildeboer yeah, the '16 had a 27 kWh battery and 93 miles of range. Pretty much the same territory as the older Nissan Leafs. It also lacked any sort of battery heating, so that dropped by 20-30% in cold weather.
@frank @jwildeboer I think it was their first or second year offering an EV, which was probably part of the issue. Hadn't nailed down the battery QC yet. I'm still salty about their warranty refusal though, that was extremely disappointing.
Shame too, it was a fun little car! But ~45 miles of range wasn't very useful.
@jwildeboer Sadly my first EV was a lemon: 2016 Kia Soul EV that was down to 55% of its rated capacity in less than 4 years (note this is not based on reported range, but measurements of power draw to charge from 0% to 100% with an ANSI C12.20 certified energy meter). Kia refused to honor the warranty on the vehicle so I had to offload it at a loss since I couldn't even complete my commute without stopping to charge.
Now of course there's a new problem: I want an EV *without* the constant-on surveillance and data capture. The only option I see for that is doing my own conversion of an ICE vehicle (which is getting easier and easier these days, fortunately).
It would be so nice to have a single cab full bed EV pickup out here...
@josh @lexfeathers I love to see it!

Kinda... kinda looks like we do?
The trees are really sneezing today!
Guess who came back to visit?
Our yard is just too tempting with all the breeding areas for mice, voles, chipmunks, and other small critters. Snack away, friend!
