The really damning evidence for me is that a supplier actually called waymo and was like “someone is asking us to build a part that looks like yours”.

A vendor would just about never do this unless the part was so close to identical that they worried about their own liability. EG, obviously copied or stolen. It’s…

The Volt should be the people’s EV. But the people are stupid.

This Tundra did 1,000,000 miles in less than 10 years so it might be the fastest vehicle in the world!

And now he’s going to be disqualified for having the runs.

This sort of thing is best suited for fleets, dedicated work trucks, and those looking to just save money. Buyers seeking a full 8' bed have to deal with the added overall length, and can counter that by opting for the single cab. Also, fleet trucks and other dedicated work vehicles are likely to have minimal…

“Well if Wilbur and Oroville cant get that fancy flying bicycle to Los Angeles in under 4 hours, i dont see any reason to give up my horse!”
