[–] scott_anon_21 1 points 2 weeks ago

Above seems US only but found this for CA members:

Costco Canada members can get a discount on the Chevy BrightDrop 600 through its auto program, potentially saving up to $3,000. The base price for a BrightDrop 600 FWD is $80,125, and for an AWD model, it's $82,725. A fully loaded BrightDrop 600 with AWD and the large battery retails for $89,225. Here's a breakdown: BrightDrop 600 FWD: $80,125 (base price) BrightDrop 600 AWD: $82,725 (base price) Fully loaded BrightDrop 600 AWD: $89,225 (with large battery) Costco Auto Program Discount: Up to $3,000 Potential Final Price: Up to $78,725 with federal tax credit and Costco discount (assuming maximum discount) To qualify for the Costco discount, you'll need to be a Costco member in Canada, have a valid driver's license, register with Costco, and present your authorization number to a participating dealer. You can then purchase, finance, or lease an eligible 2024/2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV, Blazer EV, Silverado EV, Buick Envision, or other eligible vehicles, including the BrightDrop 400 or 600.

Had the exact same thought. Approximately 400km range. If I am interpreting the information correctly, an hour of fast charging gets you 250km or so.

And that for me friends is a wrap. You have summed it up beautifully. For me. High five.

Wish I could upvote this multiple times. It is consistently a pay now or pay later equation. Often spending money to avoid a problem costs you less than paying for the fallout later.

Single Transferrable Vote (STV) (self.fairvote)

I am going to preface this by saying that this was shared with me by a friend and I am still trying to get my head wrapped around it. I am not an expert or even well read on the subject but do believe that the voting systems in Canada need to change. I post in the interest of building the discussion in this community.

I like single transferrable vote (STV), but it’s unlikely to catch on because it needs number crunching in the backend to apportion the excess votes to (hopefully) improve proportionality. I can see it being accused of corruption by the fact and critical-thinking challenged demographic.

Baden-Württemberg solves that by saying that every riding has two members, one who wins the popular vote, and one who is selected from the runners-up in a manner that best enhances proportionality, but still focuses on the high vote earners.

Mixed member proportional representation (MMR) is too easily gamed by parties to embed unelectable party hacks/loyalists (as experienced in NZ).
