The local Hyundai/KIA dealer dicked me around when I went to test drive a car. They also add absurd markups to the EV6. There are already headlines about KIA asking dealers not to do similar markups on the EV9.

Also the reliability track record for Kia is mixed for ICE cars, they made defective oil-consuming engines and tried to cover it up.

Their EVs show a similar pattern.

Tesla being mediocre doesn’t mean Kia isn’t shit-tier.

Unfortunately Tesla is still relevant in that you can actually buy a Tesla sedan or suv with very little hassle.

Meanwhile I’ve been on a waitlist for years for a GM EV that has been “launched” but with not a peep about my order.

One of my friends got so dicked around by dealers and waiting he bought a Tesla, and it wasn’t even on his list because of lack of CarPlay.

Rockets are harder than cars, so hopefully this means Elon is too stupid to contribute anything but haughty goals while the actual engineers make sure we don’t blow up any astronauts.

Do not encourage businesses to rent more necessities to us.

Yeah, you can tell it’s a native app. I love Memmy too but it’s just not as smooth, and it gets auto closed way more than Mlem.

Selling my Intel stock was a good decision.

Can you give a concrete example where CarPlay has been implemented properly and a bug still exists?

Your local race alignment shop.

People paid that much to see a glowing spreadsheet 40 years ago.

Google has killed plenty of things that work just fine. Being a bad product has nothing to do with cancellation, it is an organizational illness.

This is not true.

Anti collision systems of various sorts have been around for over a decade. The problem space is minuscule compared to self driving, and almost all car manufacturers offer both forward and reverse collision detection at this point.

In fact I think EU is making it a requirement soon.
