Interestingly, I think the Rivian folks are both. Some of the people I talked to were all eager to discuss OTA updates, and were genuinely looking for feedback about pros and cons of the car to address in future releases -- even features to add. Others on the crew couldn’t wait to talk about their Jeeps or Lexus GXes…

Going back to the story of Polestar yesterday and how “molest the eyes” comment.

Good write up. biggest takeaway from it was this:

Oooh the Lexus now has 7 blades for superior shaving comfort!

If modern cars molest people, these should join the sexual offender registry.

It’s a lot more likely they’re spend the rest of their lives whining that people wont praise their heroism.

How does this vehicle compare to the Toyota RAV4 Prime?

It’s always really unsurprising when the same sort of people who cry about
“socialism” practice the most egregious examples of “socialist” governing. Bunch of hypocrites and liars.

Florida man tries to do something good, gets screwed anyway.  

If these people had been brown, it’d be considered terrorism and they would be charged with material support of terrorism. At some point western nations need to understand that these right-wing terrorists are....well terrorists and treat them as such.  LOL, jk.  Too many police/ex-military would end up arrested, so…

^^^ THIS is what it means to be “Christian”. Not that bullshit warped thing that American religion has become which is really just a sad excuse for bigotry and hatred.

Any of the discussions regarding Norway’s oil exports aside, part of the reason why so many individuals & companies in Norway are buying EVs is because the nation is incentivizing it’s population to actually do so. Buyers of EVs receive all sorts of registration & tax breaks, key of which include no purchase/import…

Just want to clarify that the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act isn’t best described as a “Canadian law”, because it’s a provincial (Alberta) law. The fun part is that the very conservative provincial government pretty clearly enacted it to be used against Indigenous and other “leftist” protestors that they didn’t…

When Canada starts looking like the United States, western civilization is over.

All PD’s should be totally controlled by civilian boards with DA and Police agents acting as advisors. Also, any damages resulting from police misconduct should be taken from the department’s pension fund. No funds from seizures/forfeiture/fines should ever make their way into the PD’s budget (nor that of the…

Okay but Japan built a Gundam so maybe we should be seeing about making a battery powered Jaeger in response.

Solar storage seems to be the best use for these. Recycle the batteries that are truely no longer good, but reuse the batteries that have some capacity left. With most single family homes(82m in the US), space and weight is not an issue like it is in a car so a heavily degraded battery is not useless. A battery bank…

You want to point to something that has to be a monumental waste of resources in building and operating, I have a helluva time coming up with something worse than cruise ships.
