There really aren’t any, they all have some sort of tradeoff - usually many.
More expensive, worse range, worse charger network, worse software etc.
I wish there was more competition in the space, it’s starting but the legacy companies wasted a decade doing nothing (other than trying to pass legislation so they could continue to do nothing).
imo the only advantage tesla has remaining in its price class is the charging network (which is now open to non-teslas, albeit with a worse UX).
Kia and Hyundai have some solid options. If I were in the market for a car at the moment I'd probably go with the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The software isn't quite what you get in a Tesla, but I honestly prefer just using CarPlay (wired, unfortunately, but you can get an adapter for wireless).
You lose a bit of the "cool factor" with these like the weird Tesla keys, and the mobile apps aren't great (though they may have improved in the last 1.5y since I've seen them). But as a car, they function very well and have features similar to Tesla's AutoPilot - just called something like Adaptive Cruise like it should be.
I also tried Teslas and ultimately wound up with an EV6, which I love. It is missing some features that Teslas have, but also has some features Teslas don't, such as plentiful buttons in the cabin and the ability to charge other EVs (or power part of your house) from its battery.
What matters is to they keep record of these whatsapp requests, not that they use whatsapp. If they screeshot all the chats one by one print them and airmail them to the SEC in postcard format, this is still ok. Saying "oh snap we dont know why we traded 5M of this just before a market moving event because we lost employee communication" is not ok.
Typing from M1 MBA I picked this weekend. I don't think I enjoyed any device since 2012 MBA so much. Love keyboard, unlock by watch, portability, and unparalleled battery life. Screen is a compromise (coming from 2019 MBP 16") but I am okay with that.
There's a cute feature of Outlook these days, where if you get @named in the body of the email, you are added to the To: field, if you are already on the CC: field you get moved to the To: field. You also get an @ icon in your inbox next to the email showing that you've been directly referenced.
Once people know about this feature it works quite well pulling you into a conversation that you may be ignoring as you were only CC'd up to that point.
Someone at my client's site used @all in the middle of a sentence to address everyone already in the email chain. Outlook added the alias for "everyone in the company". A bit embarrassing.
However, if you are client facing it probably isn’t viable because external clients don’t follow the sort of internal logic that Hanselman can assume as an employee of Microsoft.
M&A clients will use email without regard to the internal hierarchy of the law firm. They will send it to the partner and copy a bunch of other people who are the ones who must act.
And the law partner and the clients won’t take “I wasn’t on the TO line” as an excuse more than once and maybe not at all.
I think it can still work and be helpful. It lets you triage the most important emails first and the. Go through the cc folder after. The only issue is your iPhone, as you might only see main inbox come in there and you could not notice something g timely.
Is a common subject line from clients. Heuristics that work internally, those that allow emails to be ignored, fall by the wayside when big money detail oriented customer service is the job.
What matters is how the client used email. If it is confusing and more work than it should be, so what? Sucking it up is what legal professionals are paid to do. When a deal crashes, there’s no debug and recompile cycle.
The "rule" also depends on what happens if you don't act. If you're in a large organization and CC'd by default and nothing bad really happens if you don't read your emails because your action is rarely needed, then sure.
If you're CC'd but the work won't be done if you don't read the email, because you are the one who will do the work, then it's not viable to skip CC's.
Junior lawyers are often CC’d on things they are primarily responsible for due to opaque team structures. You cannot assume CC emails are lower priority in that job.
I did that at my first job out of college and it ended up being a bad idea. There were many emails that I did need to take action on which ended up in there. Optimally that wouldn't be the case, but I can't control how others address their emails.
Been following this for years - my email volume is enormous. Having all DL mails go to another folder was not sufficient. Making cc emails go to another folder clearly identifies anything that “might” need my attention vs. FYI emails.
