    I have a co-worker that bought a 10 year old one and is finding out it’s not great doing all the repairs. He had to replace a motor after the coolant leaked and caused the car to seize up. Had to be flatbeded to the nearest Tesla repair center and hour away. Got put on the back of the queue and couldn’t get any commitments on when the repair would be finished. It has some other issue with a window and a parking brakeb ring being flaky as well.

    On the other hand my 16 year old Honda kept chugging along.

        Webster’s updated “literally”. It now includes the definition “to add emphasis”, since people keep using it incorrectly. They update the dictionary to reflect current usage, so I get it, but it still makes me sad.

          Mark my words, it’s going to happen again with “objectively”. I see stuff like this constantly:

          This art piece is objectively good

          That’s not what’s objectively means?

          If this sort of thing didn’t happen, you would just have claimed that seeing the dictionary entry makes you not hungry. (Original meaning of sad in Old English, cognate with German satt which still has this meaning.)
