“It speeds up the process at entry and speeds up the process at the checkout,” Costco’s finance chief Richard Galanti told CNN

Given that he was bringing it to auction off, I’m guessing it was in the bag, not being worn. 

I mean to be fair, when describing he wants something interesting he said “I don’t want a camry” kind of implying “I know a camry checks all the functional boxes but I want more interesting” and most of these would be at least as functional as a Camry on this front. 

Surely they must have been doing a significant amount of preemptive stopping to top off for partial charges. The article said they stopped “every one to two hours” to charge. And if they charged 12 times + the initial charge, it would be right about 100 traveled miles per charge.

I would be curious to see data on carbon impact of a cruise ship versus air travel per person. I’m sure they burn a ton of fuel, but you get to split it between 5000 people versus an airplane that also uses tons of fuel and only splits it between a couple hundred people.

While you make valid considerations conceptually, I’m not seeing any specifics to confirm either direction.

Wait a minute, we have Jack in the Box in Colorado? How have I never seen one, guess I know what I’m getting for lunch this weekend. 

10000% disagree, this looks like some janky aftermarket fob someone bought on wish.com  for their 14 year old Front-wheel-drive coupe with a giant spoiler and oversized chrome rims. 

Same boat here. Did the research and realized I could spend 10k to get the Datsun engine to ~200HP and basically be capped out unless I add forced induction, or I could spend less than half of that and have a V8 with easily that much power and the option to cheaply tune it up to 300-400 if desired without needing…

This is such a non-story

That’s not true at all, people give plenty of attention to the Cyber truck’s terrible design, build quality and inability to handle a little snow :)

The normal door handles are in fact electric push button actuated. But somewhere they have an emergency release lever, but it’s not super obvious where.

I mean you’re basically defining market cap the exact same way I am, just pointing out the caveat that certain stock prices/market caps can become skewed by investors with unrealistic outlooks for the company which I certainly don’t disagree with. And I also completely agree that TSLA is overpriced, but it doesn’t…

Yeah feels like sneaking in on some weird technicality. Especially since they are “first place” in terms of liquid volume. If Titos and High Noon both have the same number of customers who consume the same number of drinks per week, High Noon is going to sell ~10x as much “volume” despite identical market capture.

It looks incredible (if you disagree you’re wrong)

I guess what I’m trying to say is I certainly don’t disagree it’s a performance vehicle, rather that it wasn’t any worse than you would logically expect it to be on the track.

I’m not debating it was modified to handle well for a truck, I’m just saying I don’t think there were many people who looked at this and thought “oh yeah, this is what I need for a track day!”

The official number of electric vehicles sold in 2023 being reported by KBB is 1,189,051. Compare that to just 252,548 battery-electric vehicles sold in 2020, and you’re looking at a 470 percent increase in just three years time

Man this must be a huge inconvenience for all those people who have a CGT as their only vehicle!

+1, it kind of feels like a generic “modern car” for a background piece of movie set in the future.
