LOL. Yep, that was my experience, too. Felt like 15 hours driving across plains, 5 minutes through the mountains and then ‘WTF is a desert doing here?’ No wonder they had almost no problem legalizing recreational pot use.

In other words, “Tesla Trucking” will fail because Elon Musk was oblivious to the need for “Tesla Nuclear Power” to meet the recharge demands, because there’s now way the grid as it exists today will every meet the demands of a relatively small number of those trucks, even if they did bring all the old coal power…

There are all sorts of solutions that haven’t been tried. Like regenerative braking on all five axles instead of just focusing on the truck being the end all, be all “locomotive”. Even your suggestion still follows that pattern - truck as locomotive, trailer as passive cargo.

If they did that, take a moment and make a wild guess about one of the first things that will be tagged by graffiti artists. Also, guess what one of the first components to be damaged by vandals or stolen by scrappers would be. Unfortunately, simple or straightforward solutions are rapidly becoming a thing of the past…

Nobody noticed. At the start of the video, you see a deroofed railcar halfway under the bridge, meaning the jerk in the locomotive backed up so he could try again instead of his lazy ass poking his head up off the back of the locomotive to see the carnage first and backing up.

Praxinoscope gets my star because I’m still waiting for the right time to get a PS3. Let’s just say I got burned on the launch day purchase of the PS2. And I still have a bunch of still sealed PS1 RPGs that need to be played first.

Problem there is the only fascist to self-identify as a fascist was Mussolini. Then again, he did invent the name for the political concept while he was still a ‘news reporter’ many years before he managed to get himself elected. Hell, the Nazis called themselves socialists just like many of the Communists did. And…

Looks like a mismatched pair of battered ski boots.

I think you need to start that whole bit of wondering by asking yourself why you think this guy has a valid license.

As far as I am concerned, having lost a wife and unborn daughter to a drunk driver more than 30 years ago, I still feel the only suitable punishment for these sleazebags is to run them over with their own vehicles, then drag them behind until they are not just dead, but unidentifiable chunks of flesh scattered on the…

This herd of drama llamas needs to be culled.

Too big. Go Kei Truck instead. A Honda Acty looks nearly identical, but it more than a meter shorter.

“Hey, my pickup may be small, but I’ll always be able to find a parking space easy and I will always have more tailgates than you.” :P

Want pictures of your own neighborhood to look like they are just hours away from burning up in a California wildfire? Just buy yourself a sheet of “sodium lamp” color gel filter (Rosco E651 is an example) and place a layer or two over the lens of your camera. I discovered the wonders and joys of color gels while…

I used to play DooM on my Sansa MP3 player.

EVs lose on a lot more than just range. I can fill my gas tank in less than 5 minutes and drive nearly 450 miles. Recharge an EV for 5 minutes and you’ll be lucky if it can go 30 miles. And I can find a gas station far more easily than I can any sort of recharge facility. Hell, in my neck of the woods, I can find NG…

That’s weird. How on earth is Tesla selling so many vehicles with messed up panel gaps in Louisiana?

Not just you and... They do remind me of the flusher handle on a toilet.

So silly. You’d think nobody here has ever seen an automotive jankstrap before. This is like my Taurus coming from the Ford factory with 27 lbs of electrical tape installed on the wiring within the cabin.

I will take a moment to point out that while buying a real dog is far cheaper than the Boston Dynamics dog, buying a real dog AND a “Belgian dog cart” is also cheaper than buy the Boston Dynamics robot dog... and probably cheaper than buying that fancy rickshaw, too.
