There is literally no innovation here at all. There is nothing remarkable about how the tunnel is built, it’s just much smaller than a typical transit tunnel.

WASHINGTON, DC–A study released Monday by the American Public Transportation Association reveals that 98 percent of Americans support the use of mass transit by others.

Maybe the solution is to have bigger vehicles that can carry more people in one go through the tunnel. If it’s really high volume, maybe link the larger vehicles together in a chain so that they all travel at once all at the same speed.

Everyone saw this coming. In fact, one of my favorite dry YouTube narrative makers, DoNotEat01 did a 40 minute min-doc in 2019 explaining exactly why The Loop would fail.

Yes, the majority of big tech’s “innovations” are old ideas done worse. 

Europe’s upcoming EV mandates will make it moot anyway

As mentioned in the article this is set to be released in Spring 2023 as a 2024 model. The higher trim level is planed for the fall of 2023.

So not 2 years of battery tech to improve but roughly 14 months. 

True, but to me, getting 400mi for what I figure will be a $50k truck vs $72k to start for a 300mi Ford? That’s worth waiting the extra year.

Neither segment is cheap though. This seems reasonable enough given the segments it’s slotting into.

Thing is, the WT actually launches FIRST and is available in 400mi configuration (something you cant say about Ford and their Pro model).

$40k for a 400-mile range EV pickup is not expensive, Erik.

Stuff like this is why you really want ota updates in your car.

what I want in my car is a dumb display and a bluetooth speaker system.

I’ll bring my own computation thank you very much.

For $5000, the amount of distance that is “reasonable” is pretty huge.

Yeah, that was absurd. The FIA handed Max that victory on a silver platter. Lewis had a better drive, had pace all race, and deserves the win. Max will forever have an asterisk next to this world championship in my book.

I try to always look at all the facts in an open minded unbiased way but I always come back to the same thing. Fuck Max and fuck Horner

BMW laughs at Lexus’ puny grill.

A lot of American cars still do it, too. Not just Ford.

Kristin really didn’t do her research. Most trucks have it. (Sorry for the duplicates. Such a dumb image system on this website)

Current model Tundra does it
