I'm pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!

See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!

Sadly, most new cars are Internet connected nowadays, not just EV.

In fact, GM got caught selling customers data from their ICE cars (OnStar connected).

Very true. Although out of warranty doesn't mean the battery needs replacement. There are many Teslas out there (because there are not many other EV that old yet) that have 700 000 km and more, some even closing in to the million km, and on average their battery SoH is still over 70%.

Again as the article says, the car will need replacement for pretty much everything else (suspension, steering, etc) before the HV battery.

Again, the battery is not something to be concerned about, even long term.

Why would you worry about the battery when it has a 8-10y warranty on it on average? The only reason to replace it is if it has a manufacturing problem and that's why there's a warranty. Don't void the warranty and you'll be fine.

You don't have to change the high voltage battery on EV nowadays.

I guess Revanced would eventually have a patch to skip this check. It can already spoof the client and such, why not this as well. I hope so

Funny that you call them "Nukes". You really don't like the nuclear power plants if you call them the same as nuclear weapons.

Not gonna lie, I thought it was about Internal Combustion Engines at first.

Let's be honest, a fallout outside USA would render the weapons and ammos as rare as Elon Musk's well thought out tweets

I've been boycotting Loblaws since the Amex card gives 4% cashback on groceries

Just too expensive for them

Edit: can you imagine being the one that makes the most money, but still too cheap to accept Amex?! Like a millionaire still living in his mom's basement...
