News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I hate to tell you, but you're throwing money away if you're buying a new car.
I don't think you hate telling people that.
More people buying used cars instead of new cars does not benefit me, so I'm not happy about advertising it as a good way to spend less money. Maybe "hate" was a little too strong of a word to use.
'Enjoy' is probably a better term.
Alright bub. You tried buying a car in the last 3 years?
That's why I bought an 18-year-old Porsche. I'm a sly one.
You're supporting a local mechanics shop at this point
I have a recurring service appointment every two weeks where I drop off the car and throw a stack of money at them.
Actually, it's a reliable car, but the previous owner ignored a few big service items. Now that those are done, it's cheaper to maintain than you might think.
You have any recommendations on how to find a good range EV used?
Sit down and wait? Yeah that's not great
You mean the used ones that will need a battery replacement in the near future?
This has been debunked
Build one of those custom jobs that runs on fry oil?
2030 is more than 5 years from now.
People who need cars can't wait 7 years to buy one.
Also, fuck Tesla. Fucking death traps.
Not only that, the new technology will be pretty expensive initially. I say wait another 5 years for prices to come down.
I've been waiting for aptera, but I think my current vehicle will finish falling apart before they finally come out. I'm going to look for a battery replacement on a bolt.
Leasing is terrible, I'll pay much much more over the lifetime of the vehicle. I can afford the money, I just don't want anything expensive or fancy.
