  • What’s with initiates and slip dwellers? As your instructor has doubtlessly told you, they’re fine as long as they aren’t speaking Enochian. Don’t worry about Latin, Aramaic, or any of the Proto languages - those sound scary, but they aren’t a big deal.

    If you do hear Enochian, immediately ward up (you should have already, but if you’re asking about Latin, you need a reminder), and return to your mortal form. Report the infested slip gate to your ranking practitioner.



  • My 500e I bought for 7k

    A vehicle that can do a daily commute for 7k would be perfect. If you’re talking about the Fiat 500e, it’s 34k in my region. The cheapest used I can see is 22k.

    Do you really NEED to be able to drive 300 miles every day? If so, battery isn’t likely for you. And if you don’t need to, why cry that it can’t?

    This comes across as hostile.

    My complaint is price points. When I get reduced range, I feel like I should pay less. An EV with a range of 120km in the winter for 7k would be amazing. It’d be a decent deal up until 15k. After that, the apparent value drops off. Like I said in my post, a PHEV feels like better value.


  • Double your commute gives you a buffer for the heater, or the grocery run after work. For most people this is only 80 miles… which almost every electric only car can do without issues.

    Is the cost worth the vehicle?

    This is where I get grumpy. I feel like that kind of range is a different category of vehicle, and it should be significantly cheaper than an ICEV, since it means I need to plan around the range.

    I realize it’s the size of the battery pack, so it isn’t where most of the cost of the vehicle comes from, but still.

    When it’s time to replace my current vehicle, I’ll probably go PHEV. But ideally public transit will be solved, so I won’t need to. 🤣
