Weird way to spell "ebikes."

The best part is their compliance car still moved a ton of units despite begrudging marketing and all this pissing and moaning. They must have been livid.

“Sob! Weep! We have to make EVs for our biggest sales markets where buyers are looking for smaller and more economical cars! Sob! Weep!”

It’s a moot point anyway. Chump getting reelected basically guarantees the death of the car subsidies cities provide. Since cities have to reduce emissions and Chump thinks trees eat methane or whatever, they need an option that’s cheap, fast, effective, impossible for the feds to mess with, and easy to sell to the…

Cities keep falling for it because they don't have to pay for it and they don't have to close any streets. 

Probably not helping is that it seems incredibly popular with dickheads. I'm sure the majority of Audi drivers are not dickheads, but when somebody tailgates me, cuts me off, or goes 45 in a 65 in the middle lane to scroll Instagram, they're usually in an Audi.

First and second gears are why I’m convinced the global auto industry is on borrowed time in its current incarnation. Consumers are sending a pretty clear signal here and none of them are listening.

For this to matter you first need to be able to afford a $24k car.

Well, renewable power. Nukes have a place but the fuel is just too dangerous/expensive to keep burning NG while we wait for the fleet to be built and the reactor market to stop squabbling over designs until the DoD picks a winner.

Tesla stock is up because they’re selling industrial batteries like mad. Odds are pretty good once Elno completely tanks the consumer brand it'll be sold to Toyota or Stellantis for pennies and it'll shift to boring but lucrative industrial sales.

To be fair the IRS is still figuring it out. I had a hilarious conversation with an IRS auditor back when I was reviewing comic books over whether all the free comics I got digitally qualified as income. He ultimately said no because I couldn't resell them, they were technically just licensed to me, and I was…

“We refuse to sell EVs and now we're not being given EVs to sell!" Gee. Wonder what happened.

While I agree it would be nice to have the median instead of the average, the median probably isn’t very far from the average in this case.

The only law I need to make me wear a helmet is Force Equals Mass Times Acceleration. Even at 15mph on a bicycle Newton’s second law is unforgiving.

Oh we're concerned about unsustainable incentives? I have some exciting news about your free parking and free roads then!

“Buying an already unreliable car with extra doodads" is the auto industry's current business model.

While I'm enjoying the rage from adults who should know better (and the author should stop and consider that this is how many people view literally all cars) there actually is a prosaic answer here: Renting these things out to car shows and comic conventions is a pretty good business if you already have the facilities…

What’s sad is that a telepresence device like this is useful in of itself but Elno is too coked out to realize it.

What’s absolutely wild to me is that the whole US car-first transit system is in incredibly deep shit. Insurers are poised to price out millions of people. Municipalities are starting to admit that free parking and roads are unsustainable and aren’t worth it. And looming over all of this are emissions targets. But…

Finding the median on ANYTHING is pretty tough. Most people use the average even when they shouldn't.
