Auto mfr’s overestimate 0-60 times. This thing will do it in 7.0. It will still get burned by an Odyssey and moreseo the Pilot. This powertrain is still pretty ass for the price, especially in CVT form.

Is this like the glamping/influencer version of an expedition? These two will drink coffee and drive while a caravan of more capable and better stocked support vehicles will take care of all of the rest?

“Silly names aside, Nissan is confident enough to send its new EV to the literal ends of the Earth in a mostly stock configuration.”

Modified bodywork, suspension, wheels, these types of tires, and a built-in espresso machine is now considered to be “minor” modifications?

My main comment to my wife after the episode was the fact that, even post apocalypse, the gay men sure do take care of their beards.

Yes, the naysayers will claim that the truck barely limped across the finish line. That it took far longer than a diesel equivalent. That they needed ‘bailout’ trucks along the way. That this demonstrates how lacking infrastructure is, even in Europe. Blah blah blah - none of that is wrong.

Oh at this point it’s blatant that they are doing it not because of the “economy” but so that next year to the shareholder “look we made even more money by not paying salary and benefits and making the survivors do even more work!”

Youd think hauls like this would be perfect for battery swapping instead of a driver waiting for charging, even if that time is used for mandatory resting.  Still its a great start and I applaud it.  Getting their new toy and throwing it on the road must have been exciting.

AND that’s the difference between plot-based and character-based storytelling.

He probably fired the only guy who knew how to access that data.

I wonder if there’s someone at Twitter tech support that could help you with that experiment, Elon?

I haven’t played the games, but I watched my husband play them.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll guess I’ll say it again. The whole show is gonna be “filler” until the season finale. There’s no complex and evolving plot to set aside. Joel and Ellie head off in search of the Fireflies, they eventually find the Fireflies — that’s the whole season, nothing in between matters.

World’s Biggest Dumb Reply Guy.

WTF, Elon. You own Twitter. You have access to the black box that contains all this info.

This episode was some of the best television I have seen in a long time. I’m playing the game for the first time and I just got through this section, so getting to compare them so fresh was really fun. I have to imagine this is going to earn some awards.

Chalk this up under “sounds like The Onion but isn’t because we still live in hell” 

Yeah well I’m still happy to know that we no longer user her company’s software in our I.T. department anymore. It frees me up to focus on telling the Saleforce reps no when they show up at my door.

When a company announces massive layoffs in the same breath as good financial results, that seems like some absolute bullshit to me. They may claim the positions they’re eliminating are redundant or unnecessary, but that just means someone else is gonna be saddled with that work.

FWIW BMW doesn’t actually “build” the Z4 either. Both cars are built by Magna Steyr in Austria, under a partnership agreement involving both BMW and Toyota. It’s not like BMW is building Supras and selling them to Toyota.
