“What snitches deserve”?

Found Elon’s alt.

“I always try to downplay the start of production”, how can he seriously say this? That cannot be further from the truth. 

At this point it will need its mid cycle refresh before it even hits full production.

Who, besides the weird nerds who unconditionally worship Elon, is going to buy one of these? Everything it had as a market advantage has already been done better by someone else. Want a normal truck that’s electric? Ford Lightning. Want a trendy, cool lifestyle one? Rivian. Want something outrageous that stands out?…

Uh, what? This smells like bullshit to me.

My Chevy Bolt uses about 29Kwh to drive 100 miles.
I pay .25 per Kw to charge at home. That’s $7.25 for 100 miles.

My gas car gets about 22 mpg combined, for 100 miles that’s 4.5 gallons @ $4/gal = $18 in regular gas for 100 miles.

“The coming age of EVs will only make things worse as the heavier cars are harder on consumer tires and brakes”

Installing them in a vehicle smaller than a Bluebird bus and lighter than a cement mixer might be a good place to start.

I don’t have an EV, but there’s a cost associated with maintaining the automobile gas infrastructure and transporting physically heavy non-reusable gas. Electric motors are 85+% efficient, consumer gasoline engines are at best 40%. So for you to use your 16 gallons of gas, more energy is burned refining it, moving it…

I love how people say things like “there are still the dirty parts about EV’s no one wants to talk about” when literally every article and comment thread about EVs is chock full of misinformation about how batteries can’t be recycled (they can), or how lithium and rare earth mining is uniquely harmful (it isn’t), or…

Let’s pay our respects now to the undoubtedly nonzero amount of people who will take this deal to get a Bronco Sport, thinking it is just a Sport trim of the Bronco

The Chinese have priced out Canadians from their own neighborhoods.

Hi Everyone, I wanted to alert you to my new startup, CYBR BUFR. It’s a branded, electric method of removing swirls from your Cybertruck’s Stainless Steel finish!

It was wet up that way on purpose; it was supposed to be a area of the Federal Government not a State; best solution would be to redraw it and annex the neighborhoods into the surrounding states so it becomes exclusively a “federal zone”

Most people don’t have 22 mile commutes. And 52% of car trips are 3 miles or less. The point isn’t to get every single person out of their car, it’s to make it so people don’t have to rely on cars to get literally anywhere through better infrastructure, smarter zoning, and better mass transit.

Exactly. A heavy vehicle wears out more than just roads. It chews up tires (they might last as long, but they are a lot bigger tires to chew up), they use more electricity to go the same distance, they cause more damage in an accident (e.g. you aren’t going to read about some Smartcar ending up stuck in someone’s…

More programs like VW’s Spektrum they did for the MKVII R

How about colors in general?! There are so many makes and models where you can’t even GET color anymore. It’s just swatches of greys, blacks, and whites on a lot of car customizers, MAYBE an army green or a dark maroon if you are lucky, but come on! Give me reds and blues and greens and oranges of many shades! And…

You should wear a seat belt regardless of what car you’re in or the airbags won’t do their job

There’s plenty of walkable / bikable cities in colder climates.

I spent 5 years in Norway without a car (people generally didn’t buy one until they had to transport kids).

It’s fine but it does require proper snow removal. Oslo is a great place to walk in the winter.

Walking in US Cities tends to be a lot worse…
