yeah, sadly, if we’d massively pushed PHEVs 20 years ago, people would understand that 60-100 range is *plenty* for normal day to day activities.

Maybe, just maybe, don’t reinvent the *entire* car concept and just put in an EV power train into existing proven vehicles like the Focus....oh wait.

yeah, the accounting dept looking at empty spaces is another huge factor. I think that in 15/20 years when the current 20 somethings start signing checks for ofc space we’ll see some change.

Yeah, the big issue is that we built the CITIES based on a captive work population. I was in IT and did the consulting on-site bs for many many years until the pandemic. When they pushed return, I quit and found a full time remote place and it was sooooo nice.   it was sorta funny and sad as the client we worked with…

Sorry, self driving is *not* ready for the real world. it *can* handle SoCal perfect conditions...sometimes. well documented cases of people videoing a literal orange cone befuddling Waymos such that a physical driver has to be dispatched to get it around things. There are reports that waymo has drivers who literally…

SpaceX who utterly failed on their first 3 launches only to succeed on the fourth...is not perhaps the best testament to ‘quality’

FTFY

Literally 14 cars and a parking lot. You can’t simulate that in a test?

Coming back? It’s a toll road. You get on, you get off.

Airport gas stations are well known for being jacked.   rental drivers have to fill up before returning so they charge enough to make it *just* cheaper than the rental fill up fee.

Climax, MI....but you have to get off I-69 for the last few miles

Even so, it’s still amazing we’re continuing to allow real world testing before rigorous and documented closed course testing of said conditions.

Mile marker 100 to 200 took you 60 minutes.

yeah someone once said:

Another tip, any tolled road knows *exactly* how fast you got from point to point. NYS Thruway said they never actually enforced it that way I think.

the back looks like they cinched that red waist belt 3 sizes too tight.

As an owner of 2 13+ yr old cars, I just hope they can last long enough for this digital everything sans physical controls to die.  I see a couple of knobs but not nearly anything else physical.

Every EV maker except Tesla is showing *increased* sales so yes people want them.

Sadly here to stay it seems
