In the world of military contracts $400 million will get you one prototype. Maybe.

1st Gear: It is important to note that the contract originated last December before Trump took office and while Biden was still president. I surely despise Trump, Musk, and their poor attempt at taking over the country but this whole thing predated our current predicament.

Seriously, that statement is doing so much heavy lifting it’s laughable. First, it lacks a specific goal post, which you note. Second, the amount of utility engineering and cost to run charging networks to even a fraction of the apartment/townhouse residents in this county is astronomical. Even people with driveways…

The issue is that YOU DON’T NEED A RENTAL CAR AT ALL when you have a gas car.

“The way Rawlinson sees it, once we build out our nation’s charging infrastructure, you’ll be able to charge pretty much anywhere you park”

Sorry but he is totally wrong, why, because people wouldn’t accept a ICE vehicle with a 180 mile range, and you can gas up on damn near every corner in a matter of minutes. Is range anxiety overblown, yes the average driver unless they super commute, doesn’t use that average 300 mile range in their ICE vehicle daily.…

Put an E after the name and ditch e-Tron, you cowards!

In Texas, test cars for autonomous vehicle startups have also been targeted, showing that tensions between regular people and autonomous vehicles are rising.

Go ahead, attack the thing that has a 360 degrees camera field-of-view, is constantly recording and beaming said footage to the mothership, and also is expensive enough that its owner might want to sue you into the ground.

“The peak of modern engineering towards a purpose is dumb and boring because I can’t afford it” Like you don’t find the concept of a McLaren F1 or Bugatti Veyron interesting?

That far south? The Sun/Time.

I didn’t watch the video, but based on the picture he could have simply parked nose in and been a helluva lot closer to the charger.

If it all checks out, I’d say NP; almost all of the base Caymans around me have half the miles, but are charging twice what he’s offering. Used Camry money to go canyon carving isn’t a bad proposition.

Notice what he’s NOT doing — looking at/typing into/distracted by a phone. While wrinklies chartering a land yacht to procure produce via 50mph on a highway is sub-optimal, so are yoots going 90mph scrolling thru Insta and texting friends their party plans while balancing a hot venti and QT sando in their laps.

The Lions are not in the NFC Championship game. They have to win this weekend to get there.

“if you purchased an EV in 2021-22 when inventories were low and markups were high, you might be upside down right now.”

The fact they put “737 MAX” in the headline, even though the incident had nothing to do with the plane type, tells you exactly why this article exists.

It’s wild to me that it feels like everyone in the US has realized that we may have went a little too far when it comes to buying cheap shit from China (even though were still obsessed with it, I see you Shein and Temu shoppers).

Have our modern capitalists not done their homework, or is a genuinely free and fair market not in their interests?

Will it take time to see what kind of impact congestion pricing actually has on traffic? Of course.
