A good day so far
Not much to say about #today , cooked breakfast, straightened the kitchen, dishwasher is chewing on a loadββ Not literally, thank you.
Gotta make a batch of rice, and fill my water bottles for work tomorrow. Get a few things straightened out with my email, the fun of transitioning. Yesterday we gave the house 20% of my company's money, since the company is being wound down, this is part of why social.xcetera.biz the instance is shutting down, although we will be keeping the domain and email for another year, I have burnt m'self too many times by forgetting to change an account's email before deleting that email account.
Not sure if'n the day will have any more to it, maybe take a chainsaw to the old deck if'n I have time, and/or putting some more stuff up on Marketplace to sell/give away, watchband, and some clothes (kilt, shirt, nightshirt, maybe some shoes). I really need to find one or more selling partners here in #STL so I can get back into flipping storage units, anyone interested?

Shocking work...
Or working with an electric car.
Not much to say here, I did run into one snag with the car, and that this is one of the ones with the 80% limit on the battery. Outside of that, nothing really of note.
I do with is had heated seats and wheel, regular heat in an electric car can take up to 40% of your range, so those would be nice. So would smart cruise control, but once again, nice but unnecessary. Regenerative braking is great, and easy to use, at least for me, having driven stick a lot over the 35 years I've had a license, it's not that much different than engine braking. Miles per KW aren't real good, average on the dash is 3.2, though the app says 4.1, but that's still a bit underwhelming, but may change.
Car runs great, it was a lemon due to charger issues, but those have been sorted, and it gets me a limited 12mos, 12K warranty along with the battery's 8 year warranty. Aside from a couple of glitches with the infotainment system, reverse guidelines rarely appear, and two of the messages, one a start up message(don't stare at the screen while driving), and one a shut down message (power usage), randomly appeared yesterday, and I hate the limited number of presets on the radio, the only other thing is that I swear it smells like a pencil eraser by the end of the day. I'm familiar with both automotive and electrical smells, but that's new.
And that's about all there is to say, I do have a few problems like the shifter and cup holders being reversed from the Subaru, and reaching for the shifter to check it's in neutral. Unlike previous new cars, the learning curve has been short, regenerative braking isn't quite the same as engine braking, but it's close and different vehicles, different amount of engine braking, so there's always a bit of adapting there. I do wish one pedal driving was just a button like @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe 's car, rather than having to select it every time, but that's just a minor quibble.
