This thread sent me down a rabbit hole. Apparently the Kaufman dudes were condominum renters, and sometime after they had established contracts with tenants a law was passed that allowed periodic rent adjustments commensurate with the consumer price index.

Looks like a re-face/re-brand of the Mach E.

Had to look it up. That’s nuts.

I imagined Ram inviting folks who’d fall under woke demographics to a focus group for designing their next full-size pickup truck and had a chuckle.

Here’s a pretty awesome shot of the 804 being worked on. What’s crazy to me is that the driver’s seat is pretty much INSIDE THE GAS TANK.

Can’t remember where I read it, but Porsche was the first manufacturer to put F1's hybrid system into a road car. The fancy new turbos are basically MGU-H, and the integrated drive motor is MGU-K.

Since they’re going kaput anyway they should just open source the software and let the public have a crack at it.

Well considering it was capable of delivering actual stuff the drone must have been a big-ass one.

The talentless hack finished ahead of Fernando Alonso this weekend.

Bob should just hire Henrik. He makes achingly beautiful designs but clearly has no business running a company.

Carbon capture!

That would ironically be good for the environment because it would mean it was capturing CO2 and turning it into carbon.

Haven’t seen one in person, but it seems the design lends itself to the truck looking so large. Looking at the actual dimensions the Cybertruck (223.74 x 79.99 x 70.7) is actually a tad smaller than an Escalade ESV (227 x 81 x 76.4).

Thing is acceleration usually comes together with range. What enables range is having a big battery, which also happens to enable acceleration.

More beautiful car bodies to swap an LS into, just like the Karma.

Literally a drop in the bucket for any billionaire, of which the world has more than 2,700. In percentage of their net worth an order of magnitude less compared to a millionaire buying a $25k car.

Speed didn’t even start off with a guy getting shot. Real life is crazier than fiction.

Not to worry, this will be solved with Smart Guns! (tm)

Counterpoint to the crossover hate: It may not be a truck, but it is a safari version of a hatchback/wagon of your choice.

I always thought the real loophole is that he makes more money from his social media than the city’s fines, or even the cost of his car. They take his car and crush it I’m sure he’ll just buy another one, so long as the algorithm supports his antics.
