Screw that toxic Chinese crap! It’s a really dangerous platform to be on for a lot of reasons and it’s intentionally messing with westerners psyche in my opinion. What we’ve been told is that the Chinese version is night and day different compared to the garbage that we see as people outside of China on that platform.
My wife wanted to use it and I vehemently told her absolutely not. I’m sticking to my guns when it comes to leaving that cesspool out of our mix!
I’m glad you guys are enjoying hive a lot more - it’s a far cry better than those other platforms.
What I would also say with Tok is that the comments and content is largely AI garbage and bots so don’t take it too personally. Focus your efforts here instead!
Congrats and thanks for buying up a bunch of hive with your HBD :D these are great prices for that!
Thank you, yes we heard the algo was tailored to the West in a not beneficial way, the sad thing is the comments were real explaining how they'd had diesels etc etc, EV's are especially vilified on there. We literally felt a weight lift after we decided :) Yes it made perfect sense to buy just before it rockets, and it's great to give back to deserving creators.
Yeah I respect your need and desire to explore all aspects of the car market. I personally dislike EV's for various philosophical reasons and the fact that a hybrid is more sensible than an EV ever will be. I believe it's the freedom of choice: I choose to keep my petrol car while others choose to get an EV.
It indeed will get on up there at some point! The important thing is to keep building now as well as then, because it's a great time all the time to build things like this while we can!
Hope you and Ben are having a great holiday season so far!
We believe that there is a place for all powertrains - for example, if we had a Seat Mii as a second car, it would be a complete no brainer for us, as it's range would cover everything we needed to do locally, and would cost next to nothing to charge (thanks to our Type 2 charger) Do like your point about Hybrids though, as it is the actual definition of the best of both, and is the perfect stepping stone towards EV.
