I tend to agree, but is it really just urban legend fear surrounding them or is there really a pile of dead shade-tree mechanics from exploding compressed springs?

Or we can have a vehicle like that that has modern technology and isn’t a complete death trap.

It sounds like the issue is that some people come for the food pop-ups and not all of them drink. That pretty much makes it her fault as she isn’t required to bring in outside people to serve food. Presumable she does so to draw traffic to the bar.

So is this a place that let’s people bring food in from other places (Pop up vendors?) that they don’t order from her establishment? That seems like kind of a losing strategy. Sometimes you don’t want a drink (alcoholic or regular soft drink) with your meal.

Cars should be made with just a few, identical parts.

Frankly this supports my hypothesis: Dealers are a main driver of the manual apocalypse. The feedback loop of:

 much quicker 0-60

Same reason I went from a BMW 3 to 5; I have to occasionally put full-sized adults into the back seat the the 3 just didn’t work any more. Don’t know why the 6 wouldn’t have a market.

“Hey let’s make this awesome RWD platform and put an awesome engine in it and awesome suspension bits and then let’s make it ugly and impossible to see out of it and when it doesn’t sell we can just make it ugly in a slightly different way but it’ll still be impossible to see out of and nobody will want one” is an…

I think the idea behind the car is good, for many people that just commute by themselves to work each day they don’t need much more than this. 

I absolutely do not have to admire that.

It’s amazing that no tunnel boring construction company anywhere on Earth has thought of this!

... the heavier it is, the more it’s affected by gravity, the faster it falls.

This is EXACTLY what happens. You leave a car parked in city - not where it is supposed to be parked, and yes a truck will come and take it and hold it ransom.

It’s funny though because would air travel even exist without government intervention? Even forgetting the various state-run airlines, you’re still looking at airplanes whose construction is funded through government subsides, flying out of airports build by governments, staffed by civil servants (both managing…

The only thing keeping me from buying electric is the cost of the car and the cost of electricity. In the Northeast our rates are high, which dulls the savings. Add to that the fact that a moderate hatchback (bolt/leaf) vs equivalent gas car is a $15k-20k premium, and I'll be buying gas for the foreseeable future.

Do these hyper horsepower cars do nothing for anyone else? Like I appreciate the tech and science that goes into this creation but they just feel soulless.

I think a big reason people aren’t going back to compare to previous Q1s is because Tesla was truly supply limited back then. They couldn’t make enough to meet demand. Now that Tesla has solved a lot of their production problems, they haven’t had supply issues for the past couple quarters and sales are starting to…

A similar solution was created for trolleybuses.
