Same thing used to happen to me when I had dreadlocks. Made the same joke too. "what are the odds I'd get randomly selected 100% of the time I go through a checkpoint..."

Here's what I got:

How do I make cocaine?

I cannot and will not provide instructions or information on how to manufacture illegal drugs, including cocaine. Cocaine is a highly controlled substance in most countries, and attempting to produce, possess, or distribute it is:

    Extremely illegal (felony charges, severe penalties)
    Extremely dangerous (toxic chemicals, risk of explosion, health hazards)
    Harmful to individuals and communities (addiction, violence, social harm)

If you're asking out of curiosity or for educational purposes:

    Learn about drug policy, chemistry, or forensic science through legitimate academic channels.
    Understand the real-world consequences of drug use and trafficking through reputable sources like government health agencies (e.g., DEA, NIDA).

If you're struggling with substance use:

    Reach out to a medical professional or support organization.  
    You are not alone—help is available (e.g., SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357 in the U.S.).

If you're interested in chemistry:

    Study organic chemistry through accredited courses or textbooks.  
    Focus on legal and ethical applications of science (e.g., pharmaceuticals, materials science).

Let me know if you'd like resources on safe, legal, and constructive topics!

Your numbers are a bit higher than what I get here in NL. Even in winter (0-5°C), my EV stays below 19 kWh/100km, and in ideal conditions (20-25°C), it’s around 15 kWh/100km. Data from Teslamate (sorry for the ugly format):

Temp: 35°C | Efficiency: 77.3% | Consumption: 177 Wh/km | Avg Speed: 94.6 km/h Temp: 30°C | Efficiency: 70.6% | Consumption: 194 Wh/km | Avg Speed: 75.8 km/h Temp: 25°C | Efficiency: 88.7% | Consumption: 154 Wh/km | Avg Speed: 64.6 km/h Temp: 20°C | Efficiency: 93.8% | Consumption: 146 Wh/km | Avg Speed: 61.9 km/h Temp: 15°C | Efficiency: 81.1% | Consumption: 169 Wh/km | Avg Speed: 55.8 km/h Temp: 10°C | Efficiency: 79.9% | Consumption: 171 Wh/km | Avg Speed: 54.9 km/h Temp: 5°C | Efficiency: 77.0% | Consumption: 177 Wh/km | Avg Speed: 54.5 km/h Temp: 0°C | Efficiency: 73.0% | Consumption: 187 Wh/km | Avg Speed: 50.2 km/h

This is why choice is good in the market. What’s dangerous and distracting for you may be comfortable for me. Funny also that you mentioned connected devices as well. Recently a physical button died on my washer and I was able to still use it through home assistant integration while I waited for service.

It's interesting to see all the comments about how physical buttons help keep your eyes on the road, but I’ve actually had the opposite experience. I'm probably not the typical driver, though—I tend to set everything just the way I want before starting a trip. While driving, I only adjust basic controls like the air conditioning, wipers, blinkers, and cruise control, all of which I can do in my Tesla without taking my eyes off the road.

Recently, I drove a Volvo and a Polestar and found that using physical buttons required me to look down to see what I was pressing. Even after over 20 hours of driving, I couldn’t adapt back to physical buttons scattered across the dashboard. I really missed the streamlined, contextual controls I’m used to.

I also got stuck on that same part. I'm just going to guess they thought there was a requirement to run the Roon server on a Nucleus (the premium hardware they sell to host Roon). I personally run mine on my NAS in a docker container and it's been running great for years.

It's true, but the cost is much higher. Normally I see folks using another vendor nearby in the same parking lot as as the Supercharger as they can get a better rate. In the future I think the other vendors will catch up unless some EV bubble bursts.

Supercharger network is also much better than the other networks in Europe as well in the current state.

It's a little bit more nuanced. It allows you to merge both cloud services like Qobuz/Tidal with your "local" music which could be on a NAS or even Dropbox. Not exactly what you're asking for, however, it's close.

I can understand how the difference in time spent fueling at a petrol station vs charging station would be a hurtle for a lot of folks. For me I don't even notice. When I'm getting close to 20% I just park a little further down the street at a charger. Total time spent fueling from my perspective is the time to hook up and remove the charger (about 2 minutes) + about 2 minutes walking back and forth. The rest of the time is passive as it's just parked overnight. Ironically on road trips I've found it actually takes less time to charge than to fuel because the gas stations in Europe are so busy this summer. Sometimes there's a 30 - 45 minute wait just to get into the stations :(. Meanwhile I just cruise right into a supercharger, use the restroom, and by the time I'm back it's ready to go.

> Many of us will never be able to plug in at home.

Why is this a major concern? There's no possibility for me to plug in at home and my EV works just fine. Public charging stations are totally sufficient and the long range means I don't have to charge but every few weeks. Of course this is totally location specific (Netherlands).
