Ladies pinch.

That was, in fact, not what he predicted. Your twitter link makes that much pretty clear. Qualifiers are important...

Color options.   And rad seat fabrics.

In a sense it’s like gambling, sure. But in this case you’re the casino. The odds are in your favor. Yes, you might lose a bit on one day, but if you keep playing you’re far more likely to win over the long term.

Time will tell. Let’s see when it hits the market in 2021/22.

You’ve got great Insight and Clarity.

Did they really just write HYPE across the side of the bike with no sense of irony?

“My engineer friend tells me the Bronco is going to make the Wrangler look lame. So I’m excited for it. Though no solid front axle, so I’m highly skeptical.”

Wow, yeah.  I stand corrected.  It’s taken from the north side looking south.  My bad, I never spent much time north of the bridge when I lived out there, so I’d assumed you’d be able to see more of the city if this were taken from the north.

Sutro Tower wouldn’t be visible since this photo is clearly taken from the ocean side of SF south of the bridge looking north.  Sutro would be off to the right and up a biiiig hill from this photo location.

Maybe with a hatch like the RSX? Sort of like a smaller, fun, fwd-ier Kia Stinger? One can hope.

Dang. 180kWh is nearly double the battery pack in the biggest Model X.  Have they released a price for this thing?

FCVs are definitely interesting as a concept, but their biggest problem is that batteries started cheaper and are getting cheaper every year. FCVs would need a very dramatic drop in price to be price competitive in mainstream cars, especially since BEVs benefit from the existing electrical infrastructure. Plus, modern…

Fair enough that I was focusing on the dramatic price decreases (yay democratization of tech!). To your point, yes, battery performance is also significantly (in my opinion, at least) increased in both a kWh/kg and kWh/L basis in the last decade. To use your example, do you not consider it significant that the Model S…

Wait, what? Battery advancements have been HUGE recently. Cars can go nearly 400 miles on a charge and your phone can run for days without a recharge and, arguably more importantly, is dramatically cheaper to produce. Just looking at automotive batteries, they’ve gone from over $1000/kwh in 2010 to about $156/kwh in…

Exactly. That’s what I have on my Surly LHT. Great double-kickstand. Especially after I dialed it in by trimming it down significantly to keep the rear wheel from having to raise too much.

If you’ve ever been on a loaded touring bike, you’d realize that kickstands are near essential. Mine has a double-kickstand that works like the center-stand on a motorcycle and it’s great. You don’t always have a place to safely lean your 80+lb loaded bike on a tour.

Presumably for many of the same reasons that people like having radios built into their cars rather than just listening to music from their phone’s speakers.

Nobody knows where they’ll be in 5 years. I certainly don’t. I’m not trying to predict the future here, just pointing out that this article seems to be willfully forgetting that Tesla has stated that it’s their medium-term goal to achieve FSD and that Musk’s idle twitter-musings are almost certainly in that context,…

Your complaints are all valid for people-driven cars, but it’s pretty clear from what Elon’s revealed so far that the goal is to get to true full-self-driving capability in their cars in the next few(?) years. In that scenario, asking about games like this makes a lot of sense since the car is driving itself and it’d…
