My largest concern is not being able to prepay for electric usage. It hurts people who don’t have credit cards. Plus it seems like there are like 30 different chargers you need accounts for.

I now want to see a newborn kitten in fresh laundry
Top picks of cars I was eyeing up were a Miata, Carolla, Honda Fit, Mazda 3, or Hyundai K-2.
I’d think about electric if it were possible to charge it. It seems like a pain in the butt as I don’t have the ability to use bank cards for payment.
US. I just don’t like distracting screens.
I’m good. If it were older I would assume some of the kinks were not worked out
I have.
I have poor balance. I don’t even know how to ride a bike.
I live in a crime filled city. It will get stolen.
The city is essentially walled around by non-bike friendly highways. So, I still need a car for things unfortunately.
Too hilly here. I wish I could ride a bike.
I followed up with similar comments. The backup screen just seemed like a gateway drug to all the other distracting touch screen slop. I don’t actually hate back up cameras, it’s that it’s required to function for inspection and it’s one more part that can break.
That’s hopefully the plan. My worry is eventually I’ll have to get a newer car one day. But, until that day, I will stick to my car I have. Buying new seems silly.
I was eyeing up the fit. Those things have a deceptive amount of storage space. Thank you for the recommendations!
Thank you, your comment was kind. I plan on fixing my car until it’s not an option. 50k for a car is ridiculous. Especially when I can find C7 Corvettes for 37k (more than I ever need)
You are awesome. I drive about 5000 miles a year. I’m tall. Not sure if a Miata would work. I want something reliable and fixable. I had an older car (late 80s) that always broke and it was hard to find parts. I live in an area that gets snow. I also dislike leather interiors.
I feel backup cameras are a gateway drug for cars. I would not turn a car down for having one for example. As other features go, I drive so little that the car doesn’t need to be fancy. It’s a way to get from point a to b.
Yeah, Knowing myself I’d be breaking clips by accident.
You think a dealer would unplug it as part of a sale? Never bought a car at a dealership yet.
Ooh a question I can answer. I will make the answer as neutral as I can just explaining the differences of old Data Centers and new ones.
I worked in several data centers (DC). But all were air cooled. These AI DCs are also called Hyper scales. They need liquid due to the density of heat production. In addition some literally use jet engines to power them instead of grid power. Some new DCs use loopholes like adding wheels to their power production so that way they can skirt around laws saying it’s only temporary power production.
In the past a rack (42u standard) would hold things like hard drives, tape libraries, network stuff, and servers. Now they cram in GPUs by the dozens, run them at max via liquid cooling. Traditional DC cooling used air cooled hot and cold isles, raised floors with air conditioning pump and large scale chiller units.
Hyper scales are whole different animals. They are ment for processing. Depending on their loop system they need water connected right to GPU/CPUs, heat distribution, fresh water. All relatively new due to water’s thermal mass.
Traditional DCs were air cooled. For perspective a fortune 500’s DC may have been 3k sq ft. A Colo (multiple companies sharing one building for infrastructure) may be 15000-50000sq ft. These new data centers are now campuses. Like they are 8 data center buildings on one site because it’s more practical to drive at some point.
TL;DR a Data Center =/= hyperscale data center.
