Probably depends on how much down time they’re willing to accept after a shipment arrives. If you have a couple L2 chargers and 12 vehicles come off the truck at half charge, how long do you want to take getting them all to the full state buyers/test drivers will expect to see while also shuffling them with everything…

I don’t see $56K here, but with the same trucks going for $30K with 20x the mileage and an automatic, I can certainly understand the feeding frenzy for 7K miles and a stick shift. They’ve been going up alongside similarly aged tractors, just not as quickly.

You don’t have to keep blatantly lying for clicks (or maybe you do, given the quality of your writing, I guess). The 8.6 is the number with A/C on during a USPS duty cycle, not an EPA number. They rate these for 14.7 on the USPS cycke without A/C, which is a vast improvement over the LLV, particularly when accounting…

Ignoring the “because they can” aspects of this, there’s another important factor this generation of trucks was the final entry in: size.

Are you thinking of an older engine? The vulcan was already out of production before the pentastar went into production.

I did not have “Nikola beats Tesla to semi truck production” on my BEV bingo card.

Pitching a comparison to the bosses sounds like the way to go to me.

I looked at these, but at the time the HF one was $25, while the portable 50lb unit was $30. So, I bought the big one. So far I’ve only tackled a kegerator, but that fairly small job went through ~25lbs of coal slag, so refilling this little hopper seems like a chore.

I was fairly psyched about the concept, as they mentioned a manual transmission in press info.

Not if “plastered” is the description. That should mean the whole thing is covered.

To be fair, I’ve seen several angles of the car, and haven’t yet found one showing a sticker, let alone something constituting “plastered.”

If you’ll review, I said the support systems are the heaviest parts of the gun. I think the 23lb version is the M60E3, which he used in FB2. In that film he went through something like 2000 rounds on full auto, which would have required 5 barrel changes (none occurred), and weighed around 110lbs. The belt you always…

Rob, have to take you to task for calling this a shooting brake. The liftgate only raises the glass, not what would be the tailgate, and is aggressively slanted compared to the Corolla wagon, which does lift the tailgate.

Whether they had that disposition or made a horrible mistake despite appropriate diligence, the physics in the situation would be the same.

It was still easy to come by at farm supply shops through the 80s, although I can’t say I know about hardware stores. Could get cans of black powder for similar purposes at the hardware store and Kmart up until Columbine.

A) You’re referring to an M134 minigun.

At least visceral can mean “instinctual” or “of base emotions”.

Today in reading and regurgitating is hard: They don’t make $7 mil per location. That’s the gross per the linked article.

People forget that the heavy part of most vehicle mounted guns is the support system.

It’ll happen. I am old enough and rural enough to remember when anhydrous theft first took off, and occasionally farmers would show up to their half finished field to find an empty tank with a corpse whose face was melted off.
