    I saw one in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, and that's the first time in probably a decade that I didn't know the vehicle i was looking at until I got close enough to read the brand, and still didn't know anything about it.

    A lot of it depends where your fuse box is located. In our previous house, it was in the basement, in our new house it's in the garage.

    Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

    I've created an Agent that allows me to quickly troubleshoot log files. Log files, which used to take me 20-30 minutes to troubleshoot. The built in "prompt" that I've created is 5000+ characters long that I'm still trying to tune.

    Correct and also a major redesign of the whole model, I would wait a year. I've not checked out the Sorento hybrid, which may be a good lower priced option. In addition, the Telluride Hybrid is far from cheap.
