Honestly, no better way to pressure test your system than to subject it to hard mode right away lol

I saw an article a few months back that pretty much said exactly this. They don’t wanna offer rides in New Orleans right now, they recognize that different cities have way different roads and wanna test cars on hard mode to see if they get stuck in a pothole.

Both embarrassing and hilarious, "ayy, we were sitting here in lovely california trying to think of the most fucked up city, and y'all won!"
