Why are we pretending that people want this for anything other than use as a camper van? Not one mention on any of these sites about it's camping potential. It seems they've missed a massive overly obvious opportunity by making the second row non removable. Who f'ing designed this

I was just thinking about this on the way home.  EVs should be able to run AC and other temperature control devices off the large battery.  As well as various monitoring equipment (for movement, weight, etc.).  ICE cars can’t do all that for any length of time with just the starter battery.

Yeah I’m sure you know more than the actual stakeholders here, to the point where you’re calling them liars.

FYI you and Gizmodo don’t actually have to report it each time these guys’ market caps switch places temporarily.

“destination chargers are the equivalent to pouring gas in your tank with a teaspoon.”

Not just that, but it helps prevent dings from people backing or pulling into your car.

This is a good idea.

Thats true, it is a tough sell, but a lot of people want something other than a Tesla.  It would be a very tough call for me though, for exactly what you stated.

Damn autocorrect...

As an IT professional I can only say this why you keep tracker on your domain registration and your credit card information. I had a client knocked off line for three days because they ignored the email from Netsol telling them the auto renewal failed.

“they’re very discrete in that only the agent can see the reading and they just silently type it into the computer and don’t say the result out loud.”

Thats a shitty article that explains things poorly and conflates the cost of building a brand new road to filling in potholes on an old road. New roads are 2 million per mile, at a minimum, without this tech. The article says michigan will pay 1.9mil for a mile of a road with this tech with the company picking up the…

I would assume you would pick a few specific stretches of road, probably low speed commuting areas with very high density. obviously any car with this tech could also be charged normally.

One factor that might help is that NZ citizens seem to be willing to help the common good. They had a mass shooting and almost immediately everyone agreed that there were too many guns and did something about it. Here in the “I’m a buckaroo and f’ you too” USA, this probably would not work.

Helicopter tours actually do this, except it’s not a secret. If you try and take a helicopter tour, they’ll have you stand on a scale panel when you check in. While they don’t hide that they’re weighing you, they’re very discrete in that only the agent can see the reading and they just silently type it into the…

I thought the exact same. Your resulting average weight is almost certainly going to be skewed by a selection bias since I would assume the healthier passengers will be the ones more likely to accept.

Yeah, ain’t no way my mom is getting on that scale, her drivers license still says 135lbs which is a huge lie. You are going to have a bunch of average weight people doing it and NO overweight people. I do think this is needed though, just put the scale under the floor hidden out of sight and weight people as they…

Imagine being that insecure about yourself.

Nice, Steve! You should have saved it for April 1st (or just go ahead and re-post this next year).

LBJ was sworn in as president while in flight so that plane took off as another call sign and landed as Air Force One so they should cancel out.
