Exactly. Hollywood studios HATE risk, and are constantly trying to find ways to minimize it. Anything that allows them to look at past data and make reasonable inferences about future box office returns, they love.

Lots of people try and claim that a sequel was made and even claim to have seen it but, so far as I can tell, this appears to be a Mandela Effect because (of course) they never made a sequel. Nope. Never happened.

I was hoping for an actual Scot this time but sure, Cavill with a sword anytime.

Yoooo, Turo is hell. I have rented though them without any issues for a long time. Super pleasant until there was the one time where something went wrong. Turo 100% protects the hosts of the vehicles and loves damage claims because they stick 20% on top. Its free money to them and the more the hosts scam the more they…

Please, automotive industry, stop trying to shove yolk steering wheels down our throat. We don’t dig it.

Also, while we’re on the subject, can we talk for a second about how completely unnecessary a 900-mile EV is? Why not use a battery a third of the size to give us something much more affordable with a still-useful 300-mile range? Hauling around a battery you barely even use would just be wasteful.

That’s a lot of words spent on speculating why would the owner would auction the car, including all the usual EV naysayer’s talking points, while the reserve itself seems to indicate that they wanted to make a quick buck rather than getting “rid” of it for all its EV shortcomings (tm).

Can confirm firsthand (worked at Magna Powertrain for 8 years), that any cars built at Magna-Steyr are top-notch in quality control. I had a BMW X3 (1st gen) which was one of the first SUVs to be assembled completely by Magna-Steyr, and compared to the X5 of that vintage (made in South Carolina), the X3 was a million…

Why don’t more EVs do this. Magna knows how to put stuff together and Fisker knows how to design good looking stuff. It looks nicer than a Tesla and built nicer also.

I don’t see them rushing to register vehicles in 7 days after getting our money. They want their money yesterday but when they get it, they take their sweet time to do what they’ve been paid for. I’m sure they’ll survive on all that extra  money coming in from Market adjustments

I don’t have a violin small enough to play for them.

I’m not going to worry about the dealers. I’m sure somehow they will turn this credit to their advantage to fleece customers

I do believe if you just want solid EV for city driving that has personality and not an egg shaped appliance, the Mach E GT is tough to beat.

Correct. The belief that the emergence of Homo sapiens was some cataclysmic night-and-day shift in hominid intelligence is probably just humanity’s egotism. Other older evolutionary cousins had tool industries; for Neanderthals, it was of surprising complexity. I’m not scandalized that some other loose contemporary in…

I wanted to get a look at Homo heidelbergensis and found this guy:

it certainly doesn’t help when extraterrestrial corpses show up in congress.

These look like bad papier mache. This is Fijian Mermaid levels of bad.

My knee-jerk reaction to all this is: “What kind of idiot would believe this horseshit? It’s preposterous! No American in their right mind would buy this...”

Ha! The joke’s on them - I don’t have a sex life!!!

Unless they’re planning some new design style that involves trees (and maybe bushes?) growing out of roofs, I’d say that these renderings are AI generated.
