When this sub first went missing early this week, and I read a little about its construction, and saw it was built using carbon fiber, I told my sons (who were asking me whether they were alive or dead) that the sub probably imploded, and everyone was likely already dead. Carbon fiber has mainly been used in the…

I actually thought Infinity stopped selling cars in US during the pandemic. Learn something new everyday! Maybe they should sell a luxury version of that Nissan EV, the Ariya, with a really nice interior and some extras. Seems like there could be interest for that.

This is very much what I think, and have tried telling a few people. Sometimes, the truth isn't as fantastic or interesting as what people would like to be true.

Start? The tin-foil wing-nut crowd already is sure he's a reptilian.

I wouldn’t say no one - I have a Fisker Ocean One (the launch edition) on order, hopefully taking delivery before the end of August. The 5000 launch edition models are sold out.

“...they have to wait for Lordstown to finish crapping the bed...”

For the price - and the big community you’d join and ease of parts - this looks like a winner to me. Could also be an interesting base to do an EV conversion, if you could fit a drop-in EV motor in there. 

^^This. Tax policy should totally be geared towards what's best for the long-term population as a whole.

>there has to be more than a few feed up and more moderate republicans.

Having ridden in a Yugo, I'd prefer the golf cart really. 

Functioning government?? 😂😅😅

I feel like them trying to block the sale of pills across state lines could also run afoul of the interstate commerce act (or at the last, congress could pass a law that prevents any state from blocking the sale).

This was a great and fascinating article. I’ve been to Vietnam three times - twice as a tourist, and once for a regional work meeting - and love the country, but the whole “new infrastructure, weirdly devoid of people” isn’t totally uncommon there, or other places in Asia. Too bad you didn’t get to wander around Nha…

Kia's dealer problems seem to be quasi-regional, and it's not just for the EV6. I bought a top-trim Telluride in Sept 2019, and despite living near Portland, Oregon, I bought it from the dealer in Puyallup, WA, because *all* my local Kia dealers had a markup (from $5k) or didn't have any to sell. I paid MSRP - $800…

The quality issues and the lack of physical buttons are legit concerns, but “no engine noise”? Really?

Oh stop the bullshit. In 2016, Hillary Clinton *conceded* the day after the networks called it. Democrats filed zero lawsuits contesting the election, and took zero cases to the supreme Court to attempt to throw out the results. There was never a left-wing mob storming the capital to try to stop the certification of…

In addition to things others raised - massive recalls in the case of a defect - I think the longer-term problem would be that a shared, standardized platform could constrain innovation. With multiple different engines from different manufacturers, each company has some incentive to wring more power, less weight, or…

Well, they have the next best thing to another universe - their close-knit community of like-minded knuckle-draggers who aren’t going to judge them because they agree with the racist’s sentiments. Not a universe most of us would ever want to visit.

“vestigial third row” 😂😂😅

I was about to post this same comment, but you did a much better job.
