Or reaching for its waistband, at least.

that was almost certainly a sarcastic comment

Based on the pics in the article, it looks like it buffed right out...

Exactly: I’ll take the Woof over that Jaguar Ipace any day. The only Jaguar worth driving is the F-Type.

I agree that government regulations are used by corps to protect their profit, but in the realm of small cars I don’t think this is the case. No one really has a small car like a Mazda 2, Yaris, Fit, Fiesta, etc in the US market anymore due to lack of consumer demand. Now that interest rates are up, people may start…

Why the obsession with the clock? It’s a well decorated piece of 16th or 17th century technology. If the owner is really lucky it’s actually got an electric drive at the back end, but I expect that since it took so long to assemble it’s probably fully mechanical.

I’m 99% sure those hours went into automated testing of the wood, based on the description. They probably contracted out with a testing facility and used 1x thermal chamber with humidity control and 1x solar chamber, like:

No, it’s just that if you’re not selling >>100K then you’re going to have low profit margin, unless you can mark up the price like on a luxury-branded car. The Corolla and the RAV4 both sold ~1M units worldwide last year, for reference.

+1 Ive had ‘jumped the shark’ by this point. He had some great impact in the first couple decades of his employment with the iphone, ipad, and mac laptop designs, but he needed to be replaced by ~2015.

Full-sized satellites like Starlink are not the direct problem. Even if their de-orbit function fails, they are still in one piece and natural orbital decay will cause them to re-enter from LEO within months to a few years.

The Chinese are actually willing to make a large variety of cars that many Americans want to buy and can’t get from any US automaker.

EX30 is a subcompact the size of a Chevy Bolt or Kona EV. This guy is looking for something much larger. The EX30 is basically like you took the (out-of-production) Bolt and added $8k - $20k of interior and drivetrain upgrades.

the Jaguar I-Pace ... unsung hero in the EV world right now ...  much better-built car than a Model Y ... Plus it just looks better.

Rocket assisted car... reminds me of that urban legend about a guy who used a JATO in Arizona and flew into a cliff.

Does the cycle keep going if drive my MRAP through, say, a school zone at 90mph and get pulled over or does it have to come via red light camera?

1. I’ve compared my fuel cost driving a Chevy Bolt (averaging 4.4kWh/mi over 30k miles of my commute) versus a 52mpg Prius Prime. I live in an area with ridiculously expensive electricity ($0.38/kwh or $0.42/kwh are the seasonal off peak rates) and expensive gas ($4.59/gallon today).

First, since when has yellow been a color for the Prius?

The Apple car team also has several hundred hardware engineers and vehicle designers. It’s possible they will be able to apply for jobs on other Apple teams. There will be layoffs, but it’s unclear how many.

It’s the guacamole. Just a few short years ago we figured out that kids those days were blowing all their money on avocado toast. Where did that lead us? crazy inflation and low paying jobs in 2024.

99.9% chance it’ll be fine: boring and a bit cramped, but fine. Flying is inconvenient, but you shouldn’t be feeling too bad about it — all news organizations like to emphasize the worst news possible.
