This should take care of how much Gizmodo hates the way Uber treats the drivers; no more drivers! Problem solved, Giz!

Why does someone have to look or fuck like me for me to be able to root them on?

Agreed (though I still went NP), BMWs of this era have aged better in regards to the exterior.

“Joys of a dealership”?

I’ve only flown in one of these once and it was when I was very young. My parents and I flew to Egypt via British Airways. They flew business class and put me in coach (middle seat, middle row). However, I did get to go up to business for a bit, which was up in the hump.

One advantage that a petrol car in the production class would have over an EV is that it can add only as much fuel as it needs to get up the climb; so less weight. Whereas an EV with less charge doesn’t weigh less. However, the pendulum swing of reducing the battery size is a much better weight advantage than a few…
