I think the buried lead here is how this was able to happen- they said a “mechanical issue” allowed the car to go into reverse without a foot on the break? That’s a hell of a mechanical issue! This looks like a Hyundai Tuscon (Maybe Santa Fe?) - is this a known issue with these transmissions or a problem with this…

They’ll need well over 200 kWh to meet their top range claim....

This exactly. A quick estimate puts the steel skin easily in the neighborhood of 1200 pounds, not including the chassis or huge glass panels. With that ramp, that’s a 300 pound tailgate EASY.

This is a flashy concept, full stop.

I didn’t in a million years even consider the possibility that the truck could actually be worse than all the terrible renders that have been floating around for a year.

It looks like a car in the background of a PS1 cutscene. This cannot possibly be real.

I thought “oh that sounds hilarious, like Arrested Development or Schitt’s Creek, I wonder if theres anyone on the cast I recognize”

I mean, yeah- I honestly don’t know that we’ll see anything truly unique or class-defining until Rivian is rolling out vehicles as good as they’ve promised.

For the tall-people-car problem, my best friend is 6' 6" and his one, SINGULAR car buying objective was his physical comfort. After shopping at every possible brand, he got a Mazda CX-5 and absolutely loves it. Says he knew the second he sat down.

Grant it, the CX-5 is a little bigger than a Rav4, but that’s the .02…

Honestly, seems like what the Model Y will be pound for pound, dollar for dollar.

Tires are definitely important- no questioning that...

But I will say that attentiveness and good threshold breaking skills are equally important. Unfortunately, those can’t be bought.

All characters carry over- they have to, as all PvP is crossplayable with OW1. To remove a hero from 2 would require removing a hero from the original.

Fuck! I was walking by you to the left while you were taking this! I thought you seemed familiar but I couldn’t place it.

CLEARLY fate ordained this trailer be called Tod...
I’m thinking you went female because it’s all curves, has a big rear end, and all you can think about is being inside it in new and exciting places!

But I see through you, Bradford, if that’s even your real name!

Wait till your wife hears about this!

This is a good take. I think the i3 is a really good example of your point- they invested in all the wrong aspects of what we now see today as being core to a “good” EV (range, tech, user experience) and focused on what they saw as the “niche” for full EV’s at the time: city car commuters for wealthy people with…

Two great examples!
It’s easy to feel like every major automaker is trumpeting their upcoming EV’s, but I guess it’s way fewer than it seems.

This just confirms that BMW appears to be the last major stubborn non-believer/holdout on alternative fuel vehicles.

Even Honda was at least putting their eggs in the Hydrogen Fuel Cell basket, giving them an excuse for being years behind in EVs.

And Ford clearly did the obvious math and figured their big-cars-only…

Ehhhh, just saw the pack size. This things gonna get 125 miles max and that ain’t it, chief.

If the rear half-door’s window can be rolled down and it has at least 200 miles of range, I’m putting this in my garage. Those are the only sticking points for me.

You don’t really KILL the wolves all that much if you’re playing the game right.
You’re much better off scaring them away with fire/flares.
There is reasonably good gear that can be crafted from their pelts, but it’s definitely not required.

What a bizarre hill to die on. It’s a fantastic game with incredibly beautiful art. Highly recommend checking it out. You can make the wolves passive so you don’t have to fight them unless you want to, I’m pretty sure.
