That’s too good--I’m still chuckling.

my question is why the F doesn’t Dom pick up his RX7 from the parking garage in the first movie?

That’s an excellent supposition—kudos. Not even checking to see if Gisele is alive when Shaw survived is an excellent point. I chalk it up to wrapping up the movie and not having the runtime to check on Gisele, get her to the hospital, blah-blah, and then wrap up the flick.

Not yet anyway.  I do think that idea should be a part of the infrastructure solution, but we maybe need more chargers first and explore battery swap as a future extension.

^this is the way^

I always felt it was a shame that company Better Place never had any impact on EV development. I liked the idea of driving into a station, swapping out the battery in 5 minutes, and driving off.

I don’t think I’d agree with the assessment of current EVs. They’re not a lot different than any other ICE vehicle that has more efficient versions released. As long as the infrastructure remains and depreciation continues as is, I’d expect the current crop of EVs to stay on the road. It’s pretty much an economic…

Current gen EVs will not be gone from the road. Despite all the fear-mongering, the batteries will last a long time, even if they may only be at 70% capacity. But 70% of 300 miles is still plenty of get-around range for a lot of people, and charging adapters and home charging will keep them going.

If your customers (advertisers) want something (less hate speech) and you won’t give it to them, then you publicly tell them to GFY because you don’t agree with what they want, don’t be surprised if they stop patronizing your business.  Also don’t blame your customers for your problems.

This is what they do. The orange guy has made a career of it.

For goddam real. “it was actually meant to be a point on free speech” is the international symbol for “some shit I said was actually of consequence for once, so I’m absolving myself of it while also not breaking character to the people who like me because i am this dickhead”

Got to be honest, I don’t think most advertisers care about whether Musk is contrite or a complete jackass. twitter is a shitty platform, and gets shittier every day. It’s filled with crypto scammers, porn bots, and completely unchecked extremism from super far right nutjobs that have verified badges. It’s no longer a…

well said!

100%.  There was zero back track here.  I am so sick of this moron.

You see, he is owed the advertisement money. Anything less than getting at least half of the advertisement budget of big companies is a personal sleight as he is entitled to that money.

lol what a load of horseshit. Playing the victim. ‘Oh we are just fighting for free speech that’s what I meant. We won’t bow to being censored!’ jesus fuck NO ONE IS CENSORING YOU. People choosing NOT to advertise with your business is not censorship ffs. Can this guy just take his billions and fuck off

THAT IS a dumb place to stop the car. I don’t care how drunk someone is - the trooper should have directed them to pull over to the side. And even if she didn’t do that, she should have gone to the other side for her own safety.

Last time I got pulled over (speeding), the cop went to the passenger’s side of my car. Given that the car was on the road, you’d think the state trooper would have approached from the right side of the car, instead of the left.

Fuck drunks and druggies. They ought to permanently lose their licenses.
