October 5th was a major press release for Genesis-Hyundai-Kia as all three auto companies announced that they would begin shipping their EVs at the start of Q4 2024 with NACS ports on their EVs. With NACS ports, Genesis, Hyundai and Kia EVs will gain access to the 12,000 plus North America Tesla Supercharger stations which have over 50,000 charging stations. Genesis, Hyundai, Kia EVs are built on the E-GMP or Electric Global Modular Platform that is an 800V fast charging platform. The current EV owners that have CCS ports will have access to the Tesla Supercharger network starting the beginning of Q1 2025 and upon receiving their CCS to NACS adapter. This also includes that Genesis, Hyundai and Kia have joined six other global leading auto companies in building their own high power North American Charging Network that has a committed 30,000 chargers. This new network will have the first of the Charging Stations opened in Summer 2024 in the U.S. and later in the year in Canada. All three auto companies have stated that their specific EV applications on the customers cell phone will be updated allowing them to use the Tesla Supercharger stations, pay for their charging and any other needs at the tesla sites giving customers the ultimate experience in a single smartphone app for all their EV needs.

Where are you getting this information from as that has been debunked already about fast charge speed on modern EV battery packs. This is the same bad info about how fast charging will reduce your cell phone battery life. That also has been debunked especially by Apple and Samsung. For the auto industry, most batteries in EVs or PHEVs have shown that less than a couple % of battery storage is lost when fast charged all the time and we still see Taxi PHEVs that are running strong 10 years after being produced such as the hybrid Ford Escapes that are used as taxis in NY. Fast Charge Reduce Battery Life? https://carsofelectric.com/do-fast-chargers-shorten-electric-vehicle-battery-life/ Fast charging, also known as quick charging, can contribute to battery degradation1. This is because fast charging uses high voltage and current to charge the battery quickly, which generates heat that can cause damage to the battery’s cells and reduce its overall lifespan1. However, the impact of fast charging on battery life is not substantial2. The physics behind the technology means you shouldn't expect the battery to last longer than using a conventional "slow" charging brick2.

Its nice to see the trusted PIT maneuver, or any variant form of, outside of the USA with the same American problems plaguing other countries. Maybe the shytty arrogance of Eurotrash snobbiness will dissipate when THEIR societal problems make OUR headlines and pop culture, music and movies in general will talk about THEIR inequalities and lowlife individuals... Now...I CAN be down with some comparisons of which police car has the best PIT maneuver capabilites. That Audi in the video or the legendary 1990s B Body Caprice and last gen Fox body Ford Crown Vic. I put my money on the American cop cars.

All Im hearing...is that you are not really a Rolling Stones fan and would rather see what your personal tastes are in concert. Which is fine. Like you said, Personal choice as I would rather see Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrinkley and old @ 80 live in the cement block named Olympic Stadium in Montreal who Pink Floyd famously wrote a hugely famous song about than watch a young, perky vibrant Keiki Matsui. Nothing wrong with that either. But I wrote it like that because you seem dismissive of what I said earlier When legendary performers such as The Rolling Stones, Kiss, Def Leppard, AC/DC and many others, chalk up Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams too, when they do a concert, and their vocals or performance falls short of expectations, even kind of like Vince Neil of Motley Crue or Axl Rose of Guns and Roses, really, it does not matter. At THAT point its NOT aboutn the show. Its about seeing them one last time before they are gone. Vince Neil and Axl Rose may not be legends, and therefore your assesment IS correct about them retiring. And when I say gone, I really mean dead. Tina Turner, Tony Bennett... Even Tony didnt sound as good when old as when he was young... Its REALLY about seeing them ONE. LAST. TIME. But the conversation is NOT about those people. Its about The Rolling Stones. ANY concert with them IS worth it. They bare STILL on top of their game. And it IS worth seeing them beofre THEY are gone. And THAT is not a personal choice IF you are a fan. ITS a bloody fact. IF you are a fan. If you are NOT a fan, you will say stuff like: but at least you course corrected somewhat... And at least you have acknowledged that you are an odd duck concerning these things.
