Did something similar, thought it would be cool to the the Knight Rider swoosh on my ‘96 F150, and had it match the blue paint...

For that generation of F-150 this particular would be considered essentially rust free.

And all DJI units are registered with a DJI account to be fully unlocked. You can’t just pull open a $12-18K drone out of the box and fly it across quite a large body of water. If stolen it would have definitely been serial registered at some point, if not US or Can FAA (sorry I don’t know the name of it in Canada).

Sure is illegal:

I think most people are seeing both car and truck do intentionally aggressive illegal acts to each other. Sure, you can assign a score to level of assholery if you feel like it - but the Raptor could have just of easily gone into the cliff face or sent another passerby into it as well.

So true, even from the logistics standpoint it makes the most sense to be as energy agnostic as possible. Use electricity for everything if you are planet hopping - it’s not like you are going to transport dino juice off planet or mine, purify and transport from another world. Hell, do other worlds even have oil like…

I first thought it was a Mach-E they forgot to finish painting. From the nose to electron plug filler placement it’s uncanny.

There are about 400 of those old EV Rangers on the market from the early/mid-2000's. Someone above talked about them, a mechanic above said there are about 200 in a fleet in New Orleans still.

You are pushing against current physics there, you would have to have a trailer with batteries just to get enough. As you add battery weight you lower towing capacity and start getting diminishing returns. Batteries are super efficient at max, but only hold 1/3rd energy capacity as dino juice.

Oh, that’s the easy part.  They are looking to dig over Indian burial site grounds in Nevada to start.  It’s the modern boom - no time to slow down for any other sake!

You are describing an EV fleet truck, and no one buys those unless you are buying a fleet. And a lot of bells and whistles you are describing are actually cheaper now than manual due to modern production and mass scale.  To make manual windows for instance you have to almost reach out to boutique houses to make them…

That is the North American total predicted IHS builds.  We haven’t hit that number since 2019.

Welcome aboard, although it’s not in your wheelhouse - but any improvement in how the comments section works would be great. I imagine a lot of the people comes back again and again due to the rich community it has gathered - even the ones in the greys.

As bad as this event was, it was good to see so many pilot-focused Youtubers get some highlights on this and go to such great lengths for the breakdown.

Are EV’s not selling though? As far as I have read is that demand still strips supply with most models on a reservation and wait path (maybe save for the blow-up Bolts).

In theory true, but H2 conversion via electrolysis is very energy wasteful being around 24% efficient. Then there is long-term storage, distribution, high pressure pipelines, etc. The investments in that infrastructure would never be recouped.

That is what a Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is that is made today. It has an EV drivetrain with the electrical generation coming from fuel cells by combining H and O2. You could slap a battery on it and make it plug in hybrid I guess, but cost,space, and weight wouldn’t make sense.

Or they could just change the definitions that define a home. Take for instance in my area, you can’t park an RV on empty land and live in it. The maximum you can reside in the RV is under 2 weeks (there is also a limit per year, but don’t know it). If you do you could be evicted from your own land unless you appeal…

Honestly, it was probably some mid-level clerk that saw this and said, that’s not fair and just read the law... judiciously.

In some inventory programs, pricing is the easiest domain to change, catalog, and search for. Modern ERP’s can now most likely to better look-ups for aged-date to price to floorplan, and even they have something special like that then they still need to distribute that to their sales team to know what to sell and at…
