  • They shouldn’t be plotted that way technically. The big 5 are independent traits so they should essentially be sliders, not linked like that.

    That said, it’s way easier to see the points when you do that. Easy to miss when colors swap, for example, without the lines when you’ve been looking at this stuff for a few hours.











  • It is, definitely. We own our home and leave it on the level 1 charger all the time. It gets us around the metro just fine, no long commutes so it’s great for us. And as someone mentioned somewhere around here, a longer charge time isn’t necessarily bad if you’re the only driver on long trips. I’m honestly more worried about having to stop in areas with only a couple chargers (Midwest here) and some asshole vandalizing them and leaving me stranded. But that’s a concern that pops up once or twice a year at best. And the various charger apps are pretty good a letting you know they’re down.




  • As the owner of a Bolt, the only significant criticism is range (mine’s a 2020, gets ~180mi comfortably on the interstate) and charging rate (2020 bolts are limited to 50 kW, so kinda specific). Not great for road trips, but otherwise fantastic. As for electric fires… yeah I wasn’t gonna be able to put that out anyway so the firefolk have it either way.





  • I’ve no significant opinion of India beyond anti-Modi, and that’s a product of John Oliver. Most of my engineering team are Indian and some I like, some I tolerate. And a fear of Indian traffic by reputation alone.

    But you could swap “American” with “Indian” in that first paragraph, change nothing else, and it be largely (if not entirely) accurate.
