Definitely not canon, their shooting was way too accurate ;-)  

There’s also a theory that while Luke was unconscious Ben went to the homestead to kill Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru, and the Jawas so that Luke would have no reason to stay on Tatooine any longer.

At a high level the Prius is kind of like that. The Atkinson engine doesn’t have much torque so they need the electric motor to give it drivable acceleration at low speeds. Prius also uses the motor as a starter and for reverse. Of course there’s a lot more going in with the motor/engine interface than just the low…

I don’t think those cross traffic situations are nearly as close as they look. Even in the break downs you need to multiply by 4 so there was four seconds to change the acceleration from 4.9 to 6.3. The Bolt was probably getting honked at by that time.

Looks way cool, but I’m really not seeing what is different due to it being based on an electric. The motor is where an engine would be, there’s what looks like a tank where the gas tank would be. 

It’s funky how far away the engine sounds. I guess because it’s under a bed or sofa or something.

There are functional monorail systems in China and Japan (and others I’m sure), I think they are cheaper to build when the tracks need to be fully elevated.

Scootering pants: Check

They switched to NiMH at some point, but you’re right it was never very practical. Being a two seater and years ahead of decent cost effective batteries didn’t give it much of a chance. As an engineering exercise I’m sure GM learned a lot, and probably that was their goal for it all along.

Oops, see that you’re referring to the PU. Yep it looks way better than the CT. Carry on.

“And they don’t have to use all six letters, right?”

I’m far from an expert but have a little aluminum casting experience. One problem with large castings is that the bigger they get the more shrinkage (“I was in the pool”: George Canstanza) can happen and it makes holding tolerances harder. One way to account for this is to add features that allow for machining to be…

All mentioned in David’s article. 

And Torch’s too. 

David also said “I’ve resolved to really just live the dream as much as possible”

Ear we go again.

“30 kWh pack for about 375 miles”? That makes every other thing they are claiming very suspect.

Totally agree, we don’t know yet. I’m just going off the Tesla Model Y having a 75kwh battery and 315 epa range. This new car from Nissan is already very compelling and I suspect/hope it’s going to be even more so when they publish official range estimates.

Do not take Stellantis if you are allergic to Stellantis. 

I know you updated the article to say the estimated max range will be 300 miles, but I think that whoever told you that is being really conservative. 87kwh of usable energy should get this vehicle well over 300.
