As a software developer, that idea can fuck right off. India being on a half hour is enough of a pain in the ass. 6 more half-off time zones is just too much.

States can opt out of DST like AZ and HI. But the federal government doesn’t allow for states to opt in to permanent DST like CA tried to do.

I agree we should just ditch it at the federal level. But states are welcome to ditch it whenever they want, as long as they actually ditch it, and not try to make it an all year thing.

Of what I’ve personally driven, even for just a test drive.

Tesla S: meh Tesla 3: cramped for a tall guy Rivian truck: middle back seat is super uncomfortable. Only option is 1PD (one pedal driving) and I hated that. Everything else about it was cool Polestar: again, not good for tall people MachE: great unless you have to ride in the back seat. Plenty of room, but likely to induce motion sickness Lightning pickup: perfect, no notes except its overall bigger than it needs to be. Loading stuff up in the bed is more of a pain than it needs to be. Some people don’t like the range, but I’ve done a couple 1500+ mile road trips and never minded it.

Traded mine in for the lightning, but the MachE was a great car except it made the kids in the back seat car sick.
