Why do you keep saying it can’t be disabled? I’ve said time and time again that you don’t need to use it. Just keep it off, it drives like any other electric car with a single “gear”. The drivers that enjoy the feature use it, and the drivers that don’t care for the gears leave it off. Or, more likely, drivers sometimes use it because it’s fun, and sometimes don’t if they just want a relaxing drive.

Regarding Nissan (which shouldn’t matter, we are talking about Hyundai and Porsche), a quick google search shows that they are an optional feature. Do you have a source for Nissan forcing the use of paddle shifters?

The paddle shifters on the 5N aren’t fake either. They are functional. They allow you to simulate gear shifting, feeling all the acceleration changes along the way (you know, the thing that makes driving fun)

If you think that’s dumb, then fine. Luckily they aren’t designing features specifically for you. They are designing features that people think are neat after using them. Based on all the reviews I’ve seen, every single person that was skeptical about the tech, drove the car, and realized it was a lot more fun than expected.

“This” is the fact that the feature is adding choice for the consumer. I.e. a good thing. You’re getting upset that people have MORE options on how they want to drive.

Yes, the Porsche guy reiterated how important it is to make sure they can be shut off…so again, why is this news about Porsche adding the feature bothering you?

What about the paddle shifters? It’s the same argument. It’s a choice, use them if you think they make the driving experience more fun, don’t use them if you don’t like them.

If your whole thing is that they just look dumb, and that’s why you wouldn’t buy the vehicle then this has nothing to do with fake engine noises and fake gears, because tons of ICE vehicles have paddles as well.

How it is hard understanding this. There’s zero chance you watched a dozen videos, or even read the article to this post, which clearly states the importance of being able to switch these systems on/off.

I haven’t seen videos on the car for a while, but every single one I watched a year ago made it extremely obvious that it was something you can turn on. If you legitimately watched a dozen videos and didn’t pick this up then you really need to learn some comprehension skills. If you’re lying about watching a dozen videos then I don’t know what to say to that.

The choice to use the feature or not use it. How is this hard?

They either add the feature, so people can choose if they want it or not, or they don’t add the feature and no one can use it. How is having more options for how you want to experience your vehicle a bad thing?

Yeah, how dare they offer us choice! Assholes.

You’re pretty much spot on

That’s a pretty dumb measurement. Tons of people get in the zone when high. I’m way better at soccer after getting high.

Sport should be a physical thing. If you can play the same game online (chess) then it’s not a sport.

Esport? Sure. Still not a sport, same way an email isn’t a piece of mail.

Actually, according to IBM, Mac’s are cheaper in the long run. Increased productivity due to less downtime, and lower ongoing support costs show Macs can be cheaper.

You gotta try peanut butter and cheddar cheese. It’s amazing

I see SO much cloudflare stuff on here, I have to believe they are ads/astroturfing. I can’t understand why so many self-hosting people would tie their services to them. In my mind it completely defeats the point to self hosting in the first place.

HOLY SHIT. Please no one pay attention to me

I just figured if 3000 people responded, they should have 9000 picks. Since we only see a few hundred it seemed like it’s a very small subset of the total answers.

Very shitty poll indeed.

I think it’s pretty obvious this is a subset of the answers.

So it seems like, given 3 picks, only 1% of kids are choosing YouTuber as an option. That doesn’t really seem ridiculous.

Edit: it’s 3000 kids total, not per country. So I guess 3% if these are the only 3 countries included.

You might have better luck if you tell them they taste like dicksickles

I think one is supposed to be radians, not sure why they both have the ° though, cause radians aren’t a degree. Should be just R the way Kelvin is just K.

How are you getting plain dog after first few bites? I’m picturing you eating a hot dog like corn on the cob

If you think you need to be athletic to move a couch you’re just proving my point for me

If a few 35 year olds can’t move some furniture, then yes, they are weak as fuck.
