There is a surprising amount of space underneath though, more than most vehicles use for batteries. Between a 20+gal fuel tank, large transmission/transfer case, and exhaust/storage bin behind the rear axle, you could easily stuff well over 100kwh of battery in there. 2mi/kw is pretty abysmal and based on its gas fuel…

Neutral: How are you?

I really can’t believe how unbelievably stupid these have gotten (and mostly were from the beginning). People trying to one up strangers on the internet for quite literally pointless likes/hearts/stars.

Pointless death as a result of one of the more pointless trends of my lifetime.

“You still need dealers for people to test drive and see the merch too. Not everybody is comfortable making such a large purchase online. I’ve vetted paint color and rear leg and headroom in person on my last purchase.”

This is exactly it. Dealers have all the opportunity in the world to modernise their business model for the 21st century and stay relevant, but most are so committed to the smoke and mirrors and dishonest way of doing business that they refuse to see the forest through the trees. If manufactures keep pushing online…

The only “bad thing” I see about it, is that it isn’t big enough. Sure it’s a shot in the arm but I’d like to see a continued emphasis on it, year after year.

I initially had the same thought that the rest of the country should benefit from Amtrak upgrades to creating some more regional high-speed rail corridors. However, the NE corridor would probably benefit the most from this just based on density and current usage. I don’t know the numbers, but I guess I would have to…

All the reporting I’ve seen (for example, the linked NYTimes article) has that $80B number for combined Amtrak and freight rail.
Got any sources for an itemized breakdown to the NE corridor specifically?

1st Gear:  Anyone from the other side of the aisle as me want to try to explain why even one of the things mentioned here is bad?  And you can’t play the “it’s too expensive” card.

4) Be an anonymous civilian just peacefully working in your Hong Kong office tower before a Godzilla smashes it with his tail, instantly killing your entire company, to the rowdy cheers of the audience.

Don’t forget the “Someone to gravely explain who Godzilla is/why Godzilla exists/what we did to the earth to deserve Godzilla.”

The sole exception is Godzilla v. Monster Zero. Where they stuck in a subplot where the token American actor was trying to get some from evil alien girl. IRL said actor Nick Adams was both drinking heavily and madly in lust with his co-star Kumi Mizuno during the production, and appears pretty crazed throughout the…

you do need a few humans to explain who these creatures are and why they’re tussling like drunks outside a bar on St. Patrick’s Day
