I hope there’s a load-stop that can be installed behind the front seats...

Just curious, why did you increment with the power of two? Seems like a non-obvious solution. Is there a story behind that?

This. Granny gear or GTFO.

You’d never see this ad for an American market because car marketing in the U.S. is loathe to show The Brand’s products in anything other than pristine condition.

I like the look of the game overall, but man, his running animation looks like garbage...

To me, card-battling anime is the equivalent of watching things cook in the microwave - monotonous and boringly slow progression with occasional piques in interest. Also, see Dragonball series.

Yes, I will gladly make a hyperspace jump... to conclusions.

I have no doubt he’s at fault. Just trying to think of why he wouldn’t have a manual in the car.

Two reasons I can think of off-hand:

What’s the correct term, then? I grew up in SoCal and always called it that, never got shit for it before a few years ago, when I had moved far away from there.

Please ignore me, just replying to the wrong comment.

I mean, they wouldn’t be the first to sacrifice good design in pursuit of good ROI.

I’m saying that MBZ chose to work within the constraints of an ICE chassis, right or wrong, and that limits their battery placement options. It’s decidedly not optimal for an EV, but given that, their options for battery location are dictated by those constraints (and as you point out, by battery cooling requirements,…

Well, exactly. Which is why I don’t understand everyone fretting over the lack of a frunk when there’s likely just as much stuff crammed under the EV’s hood as there is under the ICE’s hood.

It’s not a “proper” EV, in that they’re leveraging an ICE platform. They aren’t producing a skateboard chassis to hold the batteries, so presumably they need to put the batteries somewhere. Why not use the engine bay that would otherwise be empty (in a “proper” EV, i mean)?
