LOL, I knew it would get people going on here. That’s partly why I posted it. I actually think it is one of the most asinine and stupid claims about cars ever, though.

You’re talking about the shifting solely. And there is no way you can shift faster than a modern fast automatic.

It was 2018, a time where Elon pushed the FSD even harder than now. So of course some people might not have been fully attentative.

But no range anxiety, smaller battery = less weight, which all translates to more fun and less tyre wear (and less road wear).

As an amputee (below-the-knee left side), I prefer automatics. But I actually don’t find rowing gears particularly fun even before my amputation. It’s just not worth it 99.999 percent of the time where an automatic is better in every way.

Earlier this year, the FAA capped Boeing’s output at 38 planes per month

In 2023/2024: “Manuals are better”.

Nah, Musksuckers is much more fitting.

Someone hasn’t been paying attention: Cybertrucks are bought by Musk-stans, by Musksuckers, not the general public. 

Deers are unpredictable too. Children are unpredictable in cities too. Suddenly they are in the street.

And for a good reason: Most of the EV-only companies are headed by grifters, scam artists and frauds. I also mentioned Theranos, as Elizabeth Holmes has so much in common with the EV company heads.

Good. I can’t think of a more deserving group of people.

I am trusting you with that number of produced vehicles.

That was, to me, a stupid concept. If you want an electric pickup, there are other choices out there that doesn’t not “lead” with glass (as they have a hood).

If they are giving up on this that should be solvable with a bit of tracking software and wider (vertically) sensors, there is no way we will ever get even reasonably safe self-driving tech.

The point was that it is actually able to be purchased, unlike the unwieldy and unavailable Canoo. Canoo was overtaken on the inside by just about any van/multivan manufacturer: Ford makes an electric van, Volkswagen, Fiat, you name it. The ID.Buzz just happens to look the most like the Canoo (or vice-versa).

I can only think of one other (production car) where pink is more fitting: A Morgan.

ID.Buzz says hi:

Btw:

Thank you for the name. They did build 31 of them (I trust you), but just how much VC did that take? 31 vehicles. With freaking hub motors.
