The average gasoline car costs $48,000.

Buying the best selling car in the world, with perhaps the best electric range and performance per dollar, makes one a tool?

The immediate driver-applicable information is all clustered in the top left corner. Closer to your line of sight than in some other non-EVs like the Mini Cooper. The horizontal gray bar near the top is the accelerator/brake meter, and the tiny bit of black is showing that it’s at like 5% throttle, for example.

The Las Vegas Monorail costs about $200 million per mile to build. About half that of an underground subway, but still way more than a Boring Company tunnel (which apparently is closer to $47 million per mile from sources provided by other commenters).

So your suggestion is to weigh the tiny inconvenience of potential future readers of this article seeing the same photo twice when scrolling if they expand a particular thread, instead of favoring the living breathing people actively engaging in the comments section right at this moment? I think what you’re looking…

Present day more like 3 to 7 times as long to charge, not quite 10. But instead of 100% of gas vehicles needing to visit a gas station about every week, only an extremely small percentage of EVs need to visit public charging a small percentage of the time. Most EVs do/will continue to charge at home most of the time.…

I’m actually surprised Minecraft never made that top seller list. As the list stands on wikipedia, Minecraft is at the top for cumulative sales with 300 million copies sold total, followed by GTA V at 190 million. It wasn’t mentioned in this article but elsewhere I saw that Hogwarts Legacy sold 22 million. Hogwarts…

To directly quote The Boring Company’s Vegas Loop website:

For day-to-day operations, it is a trip-by-trip cost basis. They don’t need to run cars empty if there aren’t customers since the cars are detached units, and if there is a surge, they can just add more cars. They’re not going to use all 70 cars they use for a convention center event like CES on just some ordinary…

Being a veteran of this site and the kinja commenting system, you should already know that a commenter only gets notified if you reply directly to their comment. If you reply to another comment, they will never see it unless they happen to check back manually and look into other people’s comment threads (why would…

At checkout anyway, they could assume your face has already been cross-checked, so they can just use the card to put the purchase on your account, and eliminate any face cross-checking done when time matters most: when there’s a line of people behind you.

The guy in a car thing is temporary, Vegas Loop has only been open a couple years which is nothing for a transit project that is only single digit percentage complete. The many passenger van thing you can see in some of my other replies is the goal. Using detached vehicles is incredibly efficient for scalability, so…

I posted once on the article and have replied to individual reply comments once as necessary.

“Target fixation” perhaps

Add it to the list of why dealerships should go away

but Granholm said she believes we will be able to achieve 500,000 ports by 2026

Toyota Prius, there will be a battery change at some point though

Agreed. The keyed lock is just an outdated piece of tech that makes it easy to break into a car, and one more physical part that can break. It was low hanging fruit to innovate it away. The car even has sensors to notify you when the 12V is naturally on its way out, so it really is an edge case and/or purposeful…

What is this narrative you’re trying to come up with where I’m dismissing your comments? If you scroll up, you can still see it there. Repeating the same thing over and over unprovoked doesn’t make it true.

That’s the plan. The pod vehicle hasn’t entered production yet, so in this trial phase, they’re using what was available: normal EVs
