Coryton created a synthetic fuel using 100 percent agricultural waste.

My understanding is that it takes a bunch of electric to produce the fuel. The problem is that if you are going to generate that green electric anyway, it’s way more efficient to push it into a battery then to build carbon chains. This presumes that batteries are cheap however.

Where Canoo is “based” is a tough thing to track down. Wikipedia says “Torrance, CA” but media/press releases list Justin, TX (current) and Bentonville, AR (future...?) as “HQ”. FWIW their official Linked-in says Justin with (some?) manufacturing in Tulsa, OK and soon-to-be Oklahoma City, OK.

Especially now. Hammond and May seem to be just these pretty nice blokes who dabble in side projects and enjoy each others alcohol.

Didn’t manufacturing move to Taiwan due to labor costs in the first place? The irony...

It’s a feature, not a bug. Why do you think they locate their plants in the "business friendly" South?

Its a European factory, so I’m willing to guess the cars will be for the European market, which means that they will be on the smaller side. Hopefully there is an avenue for great small cars returning to the US in some capacity. I loved the Fiesta and Focus revivals of the early 2010s. 

They can always replace it with the FestEVa once the changeover is made.

My worst was my first: a ‘73 Vega wagon:

It’s important to understand that in Texas’s deregulated grid, these shortages and price spikes are a feature, not a bug. Power plants that sell electricity into the wholesale market only turn a profit when they sell during these price spikes. The system is working as designed, since its designed to make money for…

Ah yes, I want nothing more than for my car to be assembled by an over-worked, sleep deprived technician.

Well clearly you’re our enemy!

Stickers that vainly attempt to cover up your obvious insecurities:

These fucking things.

Truck Nutz is so obvious I’m surprised it wasn’t in the prompt.

I will never understand muscle car buyers.

Asa fellow Giulia QV owner, I respectfully disagree with the sentiments about it. I think early 2017 models did suffer from reliability. Most of the fears are kind of exaggerated. I own a 2018 and after some software updates it has been rock solid reliable thus far. Even after some track time, mountain road driving,…

Other than looking “cute” 110 miles of range is outright pathetic for any EV in today’s market. There’s only so much cuteness is worth...

Problem is they’ll eventually pull out of the US market altogether. We’ll stop seeing old dentists riding their extra LOUD exhaust bikes through the neighborhoods.

It’s just an infinitely superior driving position for a vehicle like this.
