You can see the orange flap below the charging port, which means it has DCFC.

Report it 

Washington State Treasurer in 2016 had Democrats get locked out of the general despite winning a majority of total votes in the primary, because they split their votes across 3 candidates instead of 2.

California State Senate District 4 in 2022 had Republicans locked out of the general despite winning 59.2% of total votes, because they ran 6 candidates while the Democrats ran 2.

House District CA-31 in 2012 locked the Democrats out of the general, because Democrats ran 4 candidates while Republicans ran 2 (though Republicans had a very slight majority in the total primary votes). The Democrats later won this district in 2014 (and have won every election in that district since), and they likely could have won in 2012 had they not been locked out.

If Swalwell hadn't dropped out it very much still could have happened. There was also an insane amount of pressure for people to consolidate around a single Democrat during the California primary, which meant people couldn't vote their conscience.

We've also gotten actual cases in California and Washington jungle primaries:

They are a disaster for one-party dominance

How's that working out in California and Washington, which have the exact jungle primaries that Question 3 proposes?

For some reason the exposure compensation button is weirdly far off to the right on the Z5ii (which matches the Z5/Z6/Z7/Z6ii/Z7ii), and closer to the shutter release on the Z6iii and Z8. That and top LCD might push you towards Z6iii, as it more closely matches the Z8.

A brand new Prius LE starts at $29K. $22K for a 10-year old one is awful.

$22K is well into used electric territory if you can charge at home - you can easily find a Chevy Bolt, Volkswagen ID.4, or another full EV for $22K or less. They'll be cheap to run, have very little maintenance, and handle short trips well, and if you're driving less than 50 miles a day you'll be fine just charging them off a regular wall outlet.

I mean 996 work culture (working 9AM-9PM 6 days a week) being standard over there is also a huge factor.

Given the sheer volume of J1772 and CCS chargers out there adapters are going to be a fact of life if you're going to rely on public charging.

Those all have their own set of tradeoffs that are more important than NACS (e.g. less range on the Trailseeker/Woodland and non-round steering wheel; cost/form factor/efficiency on the R2, no dashboard on the Model Y, etc.). And only the Trailseeker/BZ Woodland is a wagon-ish crossover.

It's such a minor factor compared to basically everything else about a car. Do you like how it looks? The size? How are the infotainment controls? Are the seats comfortable? How does it handle? Does it have major reliability issues?

If you rule out a Mach-E, if you want a sporty wagon-like EV crossover you have the Kia EV6 and Chevy Equinox as direct competitors. Both of those have far more important potential dealbreakers (ICCU issues on the EV6, no Android Auto/Carplay on the Equinox) than not having NACS, which is comparatively trivial.

It's a cheap and easy adapter to go from NACS to CCS. NACS also means you need a J1772 to NACS adapter at most public level 2 chargers (where J1772 is far more common than NACS). It's barely a factor in whether you should purchase a car or not.

I was answering the question on why parts of the photo are blurry and parts are sharp. The answer is parallax, not editing.

The blur is basic effects from parallax, not from editing. See the animation in the article where distant objects seem to move less in the frame than closer objects.

A fast train coming towards you that’s far away barely appears to move when you look at it, whereas it appears to be moving a lot when it’s closer to you.

Or how an airplane high in the sky seems quite slow even though it’s going 500mph, whereas one that’s flying low looks a lot faster even if it’s flying much slower than 500mph.

Same principle here - the farther away parts of the train move a lot less in the frame than the closer parts, so you can blur the closer parts while keeping the far away parts sharper.

Edit: see the Wikipedia article on parallax - in the animation, the distant objects seem to move less than the closer objects. Same applies here.

EV6?

With most Hyundai and Kia EVs, the main concern is the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), which is defective on those cars and has a relatively high rate of failure. There is a long warranty extension that covers repairs, but it could still leave you stranded and leave your car in the shop for repairs if it does happen.

It will work 100% fine, but with 20MP of resolution you'll more readily see the flaws on that lens. Newer 70-300s (e.g. the AF-P 70-300 DX) are going to be much sharper and focus much faster.

This is an entire field of study within civil engineering, and there's been lots of studies about this, but pretty much all of them find that throughput does fall off at faster speeds.

Not necessarily, because the faster cars go, the larger the distance between cars have to be (safe following distance, 2 second rule, and so on), so you can fit fewer cars on a given stretch of road if they are going 60mph.

Are you unhappy with the ID.4? You could easily find a used one for <$35K.

There’s the official MBTA Go app

$0.34/kwh at home (yay Massachusetts), no time-of-use, and $0.35/kwh if I use the public level 2 charger near work (which I often do as I only have level 1 at home). Haven't gone through a winter yet, but I tend to get 4-5 miles/kwh on my commute (depends on outside temperature and how much traffic I hit).

With gas being fairly cheap around here, I'm about even to slightly worse cost-wise against a 50mpg+ capable hybrid (Camry, Prius, etc.), though still way ahead of basically any non-hybrid gas car.

Republicans are too dispersed in the state to draw a contiguous congressional district that would be reliably red. Massachusetts isn't like many other states where cities are very blue and rural areas are very red.
