Unfortunately EVs aren’t in a place where they can be used by everyone. I owned a Model 3 LR and never got anywhere near the range it claimed. It was constantly recalculating my next stop to charge.

On long drives the range is a real problem. A 9 hour drive turned into 12 because I had to stop every 2 hours to charge for 20 minutes. I actually had to turn around go backwards an hour because it decided I couldn’t make it to the next charger. This wasn’t during extreme cold or heat… it was beautiful outside I was doing the speed limit without the AC on.

The range issues plus the dozens of phantom braking incidents on that trip caused me to trade it in for an ICE car as soon as I got back home. EVs are great for around town daily driving, but if you ever take long trips they are not ready yet. I want to own an EV and will certainly have one as my next car, but today is not that day.

This. I’m currently hosting Invidious and accessing it with Yattee on my iOS devices. It’s been amazing how clean of an experience I’ve had.

The Two Generals Problem

Currently have about a dozen friends and family I’m sharing with and see concurrent stream counts upwards of 8 during peak. My seed/plex box for public currently hosts them, but it uses gdrive for the storage.

I have a 100tb array at home, but internet in my area is limited to 20mbit up, so I can’t host that many steams. I looked into colocating it, but holy crap prices have gone up over the years for 2u. Only 3 of the dozen places I asked for quotes would even consider less than a half rack.
