She almost went with a couple of other names before settling on Abcde:

Technically the original three were Richard, Jeremy and Jason...

It’s a pain. For instance, my name is spelled “Deez nutz,” but it’s pronounced “Daniel.” Why can’t people figure that out? I get such funny looks!

I don’t think it’s subjective when common sense would say that the mom started with the first five letters of the alphabet and walked backwards into the pronunciation. I think that’s pretty objectively stupid.

I would settle for a judge ordering the mother to change the kid’s name to something normal, AND changing her own name to Abcde.

How is laughing at seeing a first name that is the first five letters of the alphabet making fun of a child? The kid didn’t pick that name.

I don’t want to get too judgemental but maybe mom should have been an adult and not named their kid Abcde. There’s lots of idiocy out there, people should avoid it is what I’m saying.

I’m going to name my next child “Lorem Ipsum”.

James, presumably.

Gives her child a stupid-ass name.

Maybe don’t name your child something moronic if you don’t want yourself (and your child) ridiculed for the rest of their life. And this from a guy who named his son after his favorite Top Gear presenter.

But, he still satisfied all of your criteria with his answer, and “Quick acceleration” was not one of the perimeters. Also the cheapest Tesla you can buy right now IS double the price of the Ioniq. In addition to that I’d also like you to show me any modern four or five door car that you can buy with a model year 2018…

Actual IONIQ owners cluster in a range of 5.5-6.5 miles per KW-hour. Far, far better than any Tesla product.

a big part of it was crude oil, but there were other forces at work as well, battery tech wasn’t as great as the lithium ion we have now, and as i started implying, there werea number of issues with how the oem’s understood the charging infrastructure, as in, they wanted nothing to do with it.

I’ll add crude oil companies knew back then evs attacked the golden goose of crude oil. The GM EV1 was struggling against the overwhelming tide of fossil fuel, destroyed to remove all traces of ev research and development.

155 miles with a full charge in 2hrs in the early 90s? Why is this so difficult to achieve today?

lol. you should watch, “who killed the electric car?”

Fuck me that’s ugly.

You couldn’t sell a car like that today! 1.) you can see out the windows, 2.) it’s not big enough to carry an intermodal container or a herd of elephants, and 3.) it’s not ugly enough.
