Planes would have a significantly less problem with unsprung weight in the wheels too I’d think? (no idea just making that assumption since planes aren’t going offroading or even city streeting in daily use)

Unobtanium is right there next to WouldntBuyItanium

‘All’ of them which was I believe literally ‘seven’.

tbf these stupid prices are a significant part of why they still have 300+ supply available. Who the ever loving hell is paying SIX FIGURES for a pickup or even 70K for a funsy Bronco that’s not that useful?

I would back off and have them agree to pay for any damages caused by the dog.

I can make a case that you keep one or maybe two loaners for such usage. And suck it up if you get hit with 3 service dogs in a day. A quick vacuum might not be enough if the next person is highly allergic etc.

So the CyberTruck is good off road.

One thing that I find interesting is charge port placement. The Nose seems odd, though I know a lot of designs use it.

The floor is Magna.

just about cost. entirely possible to set up a sonar blanket and actively monitor huge areas in detail. But that’s dozens if not hundreds of other drones.

As long as there’s a nuke involved. Hopefully it actually goes off and we get people to actually realize climate change is real.

Size isn’t this issue (it is certainly an issue though). Instead they’re wildly over complicating what should be a far far simpler vehicle.

Now see hear Mr. WHOPR, there are shareholders who need RETURNS.  Get out there a poke things

EVs *should* be simpler. But so far they’re trying to tack on every goddamned gizmo and secondary tech they have stuffed in drawers.

I’d counter I’m pleased they aren’t dropping 600+ hp in a family hauler just because EVs make it possible.

Exactly. One thing I’ve said is that the internet is taking us back to the 18th century. Music, art, plays are live events to experience. Can’t copy, clone, pirate those.

They’d also be a lot lighter if they weren’t 5 ft high hoods over V8s for groceries.

Suburban curb weight 5,824 lbs.

And you missed the last one

Certainly valid questions. The scenario I see geoengineering solving is mitigation of catastrophic consequences rather than ‘permission’ to continue. But how you draw that line is obviously the issue.
