If it’s all the same to you, I’m not going to watch his video. I don’t want to add to his clicks.

Thais was obviously staged. Convenient cameras to document everything, no real attempt to restart the engine as far as I can tell. Most of all, he never once looked scared. There was never fear in his eyes.

You may not be willing to say he intentionally crashed a plane, but I am. It’s rather obvious he intentionally crashed that plane for views.

I'm typing this from the 13th floor right now. So not everyone is that superstitious 

“I never really got around to finishing the job I started” isn’t what I want to hear when I’m contemplating buying someone else’s project. What’s the number one rule in used car buying?

They could have at least remounted the passenger seat

The tweet complains about quality control while sharing a picture of an issue found during... a quality control process.

Agree, I don’t think the upturned noses perspective holds water here.

This might hold true if car companies were having any trouble selling every new car they make.

That’s not a concrete rule. A huge percentage of houses gain value faster than the cost of upkeep and maintenance.

I will happily buy your house for less than you paid for it.  I will do it today.

Now try a RAV4 prime. Or an EV.

Not a truck based SUV, but my father’s 2018 Toyota Highlander AWD is rated at 20/27 mpg, while my 2002 Sentra SE-R was rated at 20/25 mpg.

ARGLE BARGLE FREEDOMS! ARGLE BARGLE ‘MERICA!!!

Also, usually when efficiency goes up, so does usage. If someone typically goes from driving a 15mpg vehicle to a 30mpg vehicle, you can almost guarantee they will drive a lot more. Sure, it’s probably not a 1:1 ratio, but there are way more effective ways to reduce climate effects than solely targeting effecencies.

Heh....as someone who works in the auto industry as a powertrain engineer, this whole “fleet economy” thing is incredibly dumb. It’s actually difficult to describe how stupid it is to regulate vehicles this way.

Yeah, efficiency still isn’t standardized: my eGolf used mi/kWh, my Tesla is Wh/mi. Either way, these behemoths are significantly more power-hungry than either of those. They’re ~450Wh/mi, or about 2.25 mi/kWh, whereas the Tesla is 250-300 Wh/mi (3.5 mi/kWh) and eGolf <250Wh/mi (>4 mi/kWh).

Remember this is usable battery, so packs are actually larger. Based on what we have heard so far, people believe Ford is “under-promising but will over-deliver”. It wont be by much, but compared to Tesla when they say “315 mile range” but your lucky to actually go 260 miles, Ford is working really hard to give…

The Rivian has a payload of 1760 lb.

That’s 98 and 131 kWh USABLE, that’s the net number. If Ford is using a 10% battery buffer in Lightning, like they do in Mustang Mach-E, the total capacities are ~108 and ~145 kWh. Check out the other slides from that presentation for the clarification.
