Your interpretation is wrong because I don't feel your post was aimed at me.
I was attempting to open your mind on how a person enjoys something is not the same for everyone. Clearly my attempt failed because it's your way of enjoying or your doing it wrong.
If you're eating your steak cooked medium rare your not enjoying it because well done is the only way it should be eaten

You can't open my mind when it comes to math. 100 hours of enjoying something is more than 10 hours of enjoying something all other things being equal.
Sure the guy who doesn't drive his car may like his car more than the guy that drives his car, but if he were to spend more time with that car, he'd enjoy it more. Get what I'm saying? I'm not saying the guy who doesn't drive his car likes his car less, I'm saying he spends less time actually getting to enjoy the time with it. It's not about opening my mind, it's about you misinterpreting my statement (and still misinterpreting it) and making your passive aggressive statement "is that acceptable?"
You took me making a positive statement about people who get to spend time using their cars and took it as an insult against people that don't.
Maybe I wasn't clear, but I was the second and the third post about it.
Like I said, you do you, but minutes are minutes and there's no point in arguing that.
Any you also have it backwards. Eating the steak well done is the wrong way.

Can't tell if you're asking where you can charge, or why MB has its own branded chargers.

It's their own chargers that do 400kW (current fastest available) and don't need an app (just plug in like tesla). They're adding chargers to like 100 starbucks, 55 simon malls, 30 buc-ees.

MB is SO on top of their charging game - they are the only brand with both CCS AND Tesla port so they can use every fast charger without a stupid adapter. Also include 2 years free fast charge at electrify america.

To get a full map:

- https://www.plugshare.com/
- Click filters, set it to 140kW and above
- Set PlugScore to 6 so ppl say they're reliable
- Set station count to 4+ so you don't have to wait for an open charger
- Hide Tesla only locations

It's a 20 minute stop for like 50% (Tesla cars take 50-100% more time) and there are chargers every like 15 minutes along the highway.

When I pick between them, it's usually a price thing. Some are like half the price of nearby chargers.

yeah it's 300 usd, probably in Colorado and a demo unit from last year.

EQS are more a $500/mo car

This is a lie.

Can confirm a 911 is fun to drive in 3-6PM traffic, rainy, as long as I'm not paying for it

Even on a shit drive I'd rather take the fun car. There's still bound to be a roundabout or corner you can chuck it around a bit.

Yeah, I daily'd the S2000 for 5 years in the shitty winter and I'd top down as much as I can and sauce every corner when it's safe


The only reason why it sucked as a daily was because I'm way too big for the car and poor visibility

I definitely think of you as a lesser person if you enjoy well done steak... wtf is wrong with you.

(Also there are people who like a medium steak because a medium rare / rare steak is too chewy, but these are usually the same people who haven't had a good medium rare)

I suggest different temps based on the cut.
Ribeye, maybe up to medium depending on marbling, strip med rare, filet rare, flat iron/skirt med rare, tri tip medium. It all works differently.
