It's been a long time I have been wanting to ask, but didn't..

What is "whinge"? Is it a British way to say "whine"?? I don't get the extra "g" in there 😄
Hahaha! I had to Google it when I first saw it pop up. Basically means "complain."

verb
complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way.
"stop whingeing and get on with it!"

noun
an act of complaining persistently and peevishly.
"I can't help having a whinge about the referee though"

Brits use the word whine as well, but that can also be interpreted more as a sound (e.g. high-pitched whine)

You won’t like the seating position and the dealer is too far away.

It will have race seats that are better fitting, and I will put a Tesla emblem on it so that I can ring Tesla up and pretend it's my Model Y. They come to your house to fix anything that brakes, though 1.5 years in and no issues yet with it.
