Even then, this is still a solid 30-40% increase in downloads. That’s statistically significant right there.

I see a k following the numbers, so I’m assuming that’s total number of downloads.

This is the big thing. There are multiple niche, and not-so-niche, subreddits that just don’t exist here. Or they have nowhere near the presence as on Reddit.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to fix that by contributing where I can, but I am just one person.

This is only the beginning. It’s only going to get harder and harder to know what is and isn’t real online.
Sure, you and I are aware of this and have an idea of what to look out for. But do my older parents or grandparents know about this stuff and what to look for? I seriously doubt it.

I would have to dig to find it, but I remember reading years ago in a Car and Driver article that EV’s powered by even the dirtiest coal power plants will still return around 30 MPGe, which is better than most vehicles on the road today.

Granted that article was from before the Hummer EV, so I’m sure that number will have changed somewhat.

Alternatively, you could go the hybrid route as those are arguably better for most people. Plus their batteries are often large enough you can get 20-40 miles of all electric driving. That alone covers over 95% of all people’s trips.
There are a few options in that category. I believe Toyota’s Highlander is a 3 row hybrid. I think Hyundai’s new Santa Fe also has a hybrid power train with 3 rows. The Mazda CX-90 is another viable hybrid. Though Idk if that officially released yet.

But yeah, in terms of pure 3 row EV’s, we’re lacking.

Horizon: Zero Dawn, here we come.

I feel that. I was rocking an S8 I got Black Friday 2017, but I finally had to upgrade in March to an S23. The battery just couldn’t get through the day anymore and I didn’t want to go through the hassle of swapping the battery myself. I couldn’t ship it somewhere to get it done either as I use it for work purposes.

I was perfectly content with the S8, otherwise. I could have used it for another 5 years if the battery was easily swappable.

I’m hoping my S23 will last me another 5.5 years (I enabled battery save mode so it only charges to 85%, which is more than enough for me). And by that point, I hope Fairphone has a flagship that’s good enough to switch to.

Prices for the batteries and panels themselves have dropped. Just not the cost to install them.

Beyond All Reason if you’re looking for an RTS similar to Supreme Commander. I haven’t tried playing it in a few years though. I’m sure it’s gotten some updates since then.

However, if you are set on upgrading, I’d look at any of their 6000 series, from the 6600 on up to the 6950XT. I don’t recommend anything below the 6600 from that generation. Since you didn’t give a price range, I gave you a GPU range. All of those GPU’s are getting heavy discounts and they’re all solid cards. Only thing to note is if you go for the 6800XT and above to make sure your power supply can handle it. While they weren’t as bad as Nvidia, they could still suck down power.
I think I would personally recommend the 6700XT. I believe it has 12 GB of VRAM which will help it last longer in the coming years. 8 GB just doesn’t cut it anymore.
