I would expect far fewer EV startups compared to tech startups. Building cars is EXPENSIVE and requires a TON of capital.

Right, so you don’t DO Teslas because they have to be attached to the network for supercharging, and who knows what else. Whereas a car with an ICE doesn’t NEED to talk to the mothership before you can put gas in it. That’s why you at least START there. Also, any cracker worth a damn is going to know to look for CRCs,…

No BMW driver would pay that fee.  They’d put on a sweater and play music on their iPhone.

Do you consider city water and sewer a subscription service?

“Polo” was eradicated from Africa years ago when the British packed up and went home.

And here I thought “Sasquatch Package” was just a euphemism for someone who really needs to clean up and trim the landscaping down there.

Since that incident on Ceti Alpha V.

I’m looking Forward to the Bugatti Chiron King Ranch version.

I read a few books about the development of the EV1. It was a response to Ford and Chrysler who were working on lead acid equivalent electric cars. GM brass was hesitant until they realized they could look like a car company AND a tech company (a huge boon in the late 90's) with NiMH battery technology.

No.

The thing people don’t understand is that fire has ALWAYS been part of the landscape in California. The AVERAGE annual burn, according to the Berkeley study, was 4.5 MILLION acres! What has happened so far isn’t even an AVERAGE burn year.

Exactly. It’s not like they just decided last month to design, engineer and build all these systems. For a website about automotive stuff it seems they don’t understand the fundamentals.

Imagine needing to drive around a boulder Prius on a narrow trail in a Trader Joe’s parking lot.

It would be foolish for Ford to announce—or even hint at—a V8 in the future when the “regular” Bronco hasn’t even been released.

Well now that this has been announced, there are about 80,000 plans to stuff a V8 in one from all the Jalops.  These add to the existing diesel swap plans.

Cute that you think cops actually chase down “suspects” and solve crimes. Sure, sometimes they do but most of the time it’s “here is your police report, now fuck off”. Cops here can’t solve a murder to save their lives.

They can’t go to Lowe’s to get their own wood moulding, it has to be the Tesla stuff?

I’d be wary about going to a police station in the current climate. I mean, who wants a dozen warning shots in the back because they said the wrong thing to the blue snowflake?

Go with the cheapest option you don’t hate. Having your own place will lift a weight off you that you didn’t know you had . . . unless you move into a broken down hell hole, of course. Plus, you’re paying yourself instead of someone else to live there and, location dependent, you’re far more likely to get more than…
