But Nintendo acts as hard as you would if finding and punishing the perpetrator would nullify the effects of the info being leaked...but it doesn’t. They behave as if, when they find out who did it, we’ll all just forget...but the damage is done, cat out of the bag, toothpaste out of the tube, Pandora’s box is open,…

I’ll never not be baffled by how much time, money, and effort goes into dumb stuff like this. Petty isn’t a strong enough descriptor.  Here’s hoping the user signed up under John_Smith2039428@hotmail.com, 555-555-5555, 123 Main Street, Anytown, USA.

Yeah, they aren’t going to get service visits and money from those out-of-state sales, so it makes sense to make up that money on the sticker.

And the Cd of the Hummer is atrocious, like 0.5. The Lightning is 0.44 and the Rivian is 0.3. The Cd of the Silverado and Sierra are supposedly somewhere between the Lightning and Rivian. Someone put more street focused tires on the Hummer and got 1.9mi/kWh, or about 412 miles on a charge, so I can believe the claims…

150 more miles than a Hummer and 100 more than the Silverado/Sierra EV on a similarly sized battery?

This feels like it could be an elaborate handwaving “look over here” stunt to disguise something shady like money laundering.

Yeah, if the “prank” was pulling a fake gun on someone or “joking” about bodily harm that might paint this in a different light.

Any attempt at comment from the alleged shooter or their legal representation?  Forgive me if I don’t take Cook’s “simple practical joke” statement at face value.

In Charlotte, the city council recently allowed one developer to build an apartment complex that doesn’t have any parking at all. That means more units for people to live in and lower construction costs, which the developer says should save residents $250 per month.

Some owners that live in apartments, condos, etc. where they don’t have a say in whether their home has an EV charger NEED to have ample access to them as well. And let’s be honest, until the last person that remembers 5 minute gas stops dies, there will be an expectation of being able to charge wherever you are, under…

What’s even dumber is he’s going to “investigate” the move...just walk away, man. You got your “W” with your handpicked board of friends. You already took a victory lap. Just let your buds meet up for a nice dinner every once in a while, act like they’re in charge, and everyone goes about their business.

Yeah, it’s Sony Store only in the US.

It also feels like they’re handicapping it by only selling it on their own store instead of Best Buy or Amazon where I’m much more likely to just click “buy” with my accumulated points.

...Heads up, if you keep your EV over a decade, it will almost certainly need a new pack. Some EV makers are trying to address this by making the cars fairly agnostic to the actual chemistry of the pack and allowing them to be replaced with whatever newer tech comes down the line.  The goal of GM’s Ultium was in that…

And I think the kid playing his son is Jimmy Kimmel’s nephew.

I know it’s Dunning-Kruger talking but the backend SHOULD be able to seamlessly adapt to load and in less than 2 HOURS. My experience last week was 3 consecutive 120-90 minute waits where I got a “no license detected” at the end of each queue Friday afternoon to night. I got a 30 minute Saturday morning that actually…

Come to rural TN/VA if you want to see people stretch the term “Farm Use” to microns thin. You have a barely functioning car that is a legitimate danger to the occupants and everyone around it that wouldn’t pass a state inspection and an insurance company would total out if you claimed a broken ashtray...put a Farm…

It’s probably due to a lack of crash data with only 850 deliveries but owners on the Hummer EV forums have pointed out that insuring their Model 3 costs more than their Hummer that cost 2x as much.  GM has also made more of a point of making their Ultium vehicles more repairable and less likely to be totaled out in…

What a shitshow. Mercedes was expecting a 5 second penalty. Aston told him to get at least a 5 second gap to make that moot. He opened a 5+ second gap to Russell. He takes the podium. They give him a 10 second penalty no one saw coming or expected. Russell takes 3rd after podium ceremony. And everything after.

I’m going to go out of a limb and say my loaded ‘18 E63 Wagon that cost $30k less than the base price of the XM with twice the cargo space, better exhaust note, and better in every performance metric is a better vehicle in every aspect...and I suspect, if they had made one, a 2018 M5 Estate would be too.
