The top 2024 EV in terms of MPGe (ranging from 114 to 140!!!) come from... Hyundai Lucid BMW Kia Polestar https://electrek.co/2024/04/17/hyundai-six-top-ten-most-fuel-efficient-evs-us/ if you're looking for EV efficiency, I'd start with these Meanwhile: Tesla's EV market share is now less than 50%. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis make up more than 10% of the EV market. Ford has 7.4%, GM has 6.3% This chart is almost a year out of date

Stolen from the reddit - from a discussion about total cost of ownership (fuel-only) from a year ago. Unsure how they calculate the Tesla recharging prices, but there's a kWH-to-price chart somewhere, I'm sure According to KBB, it can cost anywhere from $10-$16 to fully charge an EV at home in North Carolina. Expect higher prices at public charging stations, especially those with higher/faster charging speeds, which is something to consider if you're on the road vs doing local-to-home commuting. https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/how-much-does-it-cost-to-charge-an-ev/

Not an electric driver yet, but thinking about it also Tesla is no longer the only game in town -- other manufacturers are proving to be adept at the electric car game, with better quality builds and at lower or comparable pricing Cybertrucks are having difficulty being insured, plus you're contractually obligated to not sell it for at least a year (which is totally weird) An at-home level 2 charger really isn't that expensive (a few hundred dollars, plus installation). If you are home a lot, your 110v can give you enough juice for super-local commutes with no issue. If you can deal with it, charge at a public station, then top off at home. (good news is the charger will be a nice-to-have when it comes time for selling the house). Have heard that public charging may be cheaper than gas, but it's not necessarily cheap-cheap either One issue is being able to recharge in a timely (and conveniently-located) manner when you're on long trips. With gas, you can fill up and be on your way in (let's say) 10 minutes. For electric, you're usually looking at a minimum of 30 minutes, and that wouldn't necessarily be to full Another issue is that electric doesn't do well in cold weather. Or super-hot weather. If that battery can't warm up (or gets too hot) then you're not driving anywhere Some states are starting to apply an annual electric vehicle tax to replace the gas tax you're not paying. Add that to your planned annual cost. Electric vehicles go through tires faster than gas vehicles - something to think about with cost, as well. Might want to consider a hybrid (some have "eco electric-drive only" options for super low speed, low mileage distances, like 1 mile+), or a plug-in hybrid (all the joys of electric, with gas backup if you want it) if you're overly concerned about whether the electric will leave you stranded. But if all you're doing is local around-town stuff instead of long-haul driving, almost any electric out there should do just fine for you.

would have been interesting if he was calling for FOX instead of CBS (I get it, but go with me here...) Because wouldnt it be neat to hear Greg and Luke do color commentary on a game together?

from the article: Luke, Cam, Smith Not in the article: Greg Olsen (who, if things go well over the years, could be a nominee on the Broadcasting side also)

Well, they'll live on via Rock n Roller Coaster @ Disney... unless that contract is up

And of course, Vinnie Testaverde

Maybe... they wanted some.noise to simulate a bit of crowd effect at a stadium

Lol, imagine driving FROM GA Out of state fans take what they can get

Celebrating 30YR you'd think they'd throw in at least one "Stand and Cheer" But yeah, the loop is a bit heavy vs what they played pre-fest

What are the red helmet covers for? Special teams something?

Limited concession offerings The chicken fingers were hot/seemed fresh

Not overly crowded, happy fans. Seen a few Riot folks. Where the Huddle at?

Clemson radar looks not great

$42.99/month will give subscribers access to linear sports networks, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ABC, FOX, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, truTV, as well as ESPN+. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/venu-launch-42-99-per-month-disney-fox-warner-bros-discovery-1236092585/

Sounds about right. The Greenville sports stores primarily carry college merch, from SC to UGA Have to get into NC before I see Panthers gear for sale

Got tix, still deciding whether to go our not

The only preseason game with national accessibility will be NE on NFL. The other pre-seasons may or may not be aired locally Once the season starts.... NO on FOX LA on CBS LV on CBS CIN on FOX CHI on FOX ATL on FOX WAS on CBS DEN on CBS NO on CBS NYG in Munich on NFL (and likely also aired locally on... WSOC?) KC on CBS TB on FOX PHI on FOX ARI on FOX TB on CBS ATL on whichever network gives up in the negotiations early

Casting doesn't overly bother me. Jennifer Lawrence vs Rebecca Romijn as Mystique? Perfectly fine either way On the other hand, Patrick Stewart as Professor X - can't easily imagine anyone else. Sam Jackson would be inspired fun choice, though...

Spiderman would like to have a word.... the stories I'm reading from 2023 suggests a larger view. I wouldn't call Pedro Pascal or some of the others significantly younger and/or entirely cheaper (although, compared to RDJ's paycheck, almost anybody is cheaper) https://ew.com/fantastic-four-cast-pedro-pascal-reed-richards-8567528 But comic books plot lines change constantly. How may Superman or Batman movies have we had with different actors playing the main roles? #TeamKeaton

Peacock's Olympic coverage has been stellar.

(this might be wrong, I'm not totally versed/invested in the entire Avengers storyline) They're leveraging the multiverse arc present in the new Deadpool movie and hinted at in Loki (and has a full comic book series about) where one (actor) might represent different characters. it works to explain why there are different Peter Parker actors, or how Captain America is played by the same actor as in the old Fantastic 4 movie. Or multiple Hulks So it's not Tony Stark that we've known as Dr Doom, but it's that universe's Tony Stark who is Dr Doom and not Iron Man

In ESPN's defense, they're focused solely on College stats/awards and not what was accomplished in the NFL Let's just cut to the chase: 1. DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska 2. QB Baker Mayfield, Texas Tech/Oklahoma 3. QB Cam Newton, Florida/Auburn . . 24. DE Julius Peppers, North Carolina https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40648172/ncaa-football-top-25-players-21st-century-tim-The Golden Calf of Bristol-reggie-bush-cam-newton-more

it's been asked/answered many times previously - can't find the threads, but there are many over the years. Bulk of users use desktop, and the forum software is already mobile-optimized (well, supposedly) (There used to be an app - it wasn't any better than using the forum directly)

Waiting for @chknwingto chime in
