Aahhh, that makes sense.
There are still some major problems with the Semi trucks too though, but purely thermodynamically.
Probably going to take overhead charging on shorter routes to work. The Mid-west US is going to take swappable batteries or a huge leap in charging and capacity.
Have you seen the guy who was inspecting his new truck and sliced his wrist open in the exposed edge by the tail light?
Also the leading edge of the truck is absolutely a pedestrian murdering device.
Most modern trucks are also terrible and need to have pedestrian safety rules applied to them, but at least they aren’t made with “bullet proof” sheets of stainless steel with literally knife sharp leading and trailing edges.
I didn’t mind the last scene. Showing the slave labor behind the building of the empire’s mega weapons is kinda interesting and makes their struggle in the prison factory even more futile feeling.
That said, I’m also worried that the writers and directors of the first season are gonna have a harder time working without D+ meddling.
Crossing my fingers in the mean time.
Roadsters/sports cars are always about brand prestige, but that doesn’t necessarily help the bottom line, most often it the pet project of an auto exec. VW lost money on every Veyron it sold.
The cyber truck is an even dumber pet project, and really shouldn’t be legal as US such a danger to bystanders. It’s stubborn design is also much more expensive to produce, especially to achieve an acceptable fit and finish.
I was replying to a comment that was prescribing a post to financial success for Tesla.
