The flowchart is as simple as which state, then a yes/no of throwing money at it. At no point do they really care about the success, just the perceived giving-a-damn for next election cycle.

You over complicate it. The government will gladly throw money at purple states, especially PA-OH-MI. This is simply the result of the electoral college, the federal government likes some people more than others.

This is the 21st century version of the sword in the stone.

Yeah, not found guilty, just never actually showed up to court.

Toyota brought us the Prius, and Ford is bringing us the F150 EV,

It sure feels like every rule has a little * next to it, and in the footnotes it says ‘Monaco is an exception to this rule’

People talk about how the F150 is easily able to outsell all other Teslas, forgets that Ford needs a crap ton of batteries to do so. I really wonder if the prices we saw are due to selling them in very low volume because they actually are not profitable and just another compliance car/truck.

I really wonder how this event went down in the eyes of partisan lenses.

Leasing is how I got a EV for just $400 a month for a $45,000 car. However, some dealerships were complete idiots with how it worked and tried to say it was on the customer and wanted to pocket that extra $7500, they tried that con on me.

Probably not, given that Tesla fans also crossover with Tesla stock investors, which makes for a pretty intense following, given that there is actual potential for huge financial reward or loss for Tesla’s success or failure.

Pretty sure a parade is the perfect time to show off a new outfit. 

This is a good breakdown of how things are with FE

If only there was a way for us to transfer the energy cars used at the speed of light. Through already existing channels. And let people make their own at home. And share with others if they have too much.

Both did flex, its just a matter of how much. Pause the video and click on about ~19 seconds, then click to ~23 seconds, and alternate between them. Both wing move up quite a few pixels, Id say the Merc is about 60% as much as the Redbull.

They kinda did pioneer the hybrid though. They seem to make pretty good business judgment about when its the right time to bring in the right car for the market.

It would be funny if Toyota just ignored EVs for a really long time, then they are like, fine, whatever, and convert the Prius Prime into an EV by making the electric motor a little bigger and throwing batteries in where the gas motor was, and all the sudden over a single model year they have an EV that beats half…

I would just add the words together.

I’m wondering if they were racing to a location rather than just holding the throttle down for a 1/4mile. It would make sense if the stuff they were doing with the phones was trying to figure out the finish line location. It did look a lot slower than I expected for a ‘drag race’, but also wide angle lenses make turns…

Honestly, why do they have a way for a car to auto-connect to wifi. Is clicking that button to join a network really so tough....

I legit thought VinFast was some kind of recall checking/complaints website. Like enter your vin and find out what recalls there are and complain about your issues easily kind of website.
