  • Leaked images tease BYD's first electric pickup, coming to global markets this year

    Jump

  • I can fit bigger stuff in my crossover with the 2nd row folded down than most of these emotional support vehicles can fit in their bed. And I can rent a truck once a year when I need to move something big. These things are such stupid shapes.

  • Volvo sets a global all-time sales record thanks to EVs

    Jump

  • I think I want my next car to be either a Volvo EX30 or Rivian R3. The Volvo will be here a lot sooner (Summer 2024 vs... 2027?) so it'll really depend on how long my ICE car lasts. And if Rivian survives.

  • Tesla to require FSD demo before delivery

    Jump

  • That job is not for me, but I do have to say that equity definitely motivates people differently than just a salary, and someone wanting a consistent 40hr work week wouldn't have ended up at Tesla in the first place.

  • How Rivian Is Pulling Off Its $45,000 R2 Electric SUV

    Jump

  • Gotta build hype and preorders! I'm hoping Rivian sticks around long enough and scales up enough that I can get an R3 in 5 years.

  • Will you feel just as smug about your moral high ground if you don't vote and Trump wins and makes all that and much more worse?

    It's a fucked system, but it's the one we have right now. Not voting for the lesser of two evils means you're ok with the even worse guy winning.

    Boston is going is going big on installing curbside EV chargers

    Jump

  • Exactly, like, why did everybody decide to get cute and move them around?

  • Kia's US-made EV9 may not qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit at first

    Jump

  • And a waste of batteries. 75-100 kWh vs the EV6 at 60-75 and Niro at 65.

  • Chevy Silverado And GMC Sierra Plug-In Hybrids Are Coming: Report

    Jump

  • If Ultium is as modular as they want us to believe, then hopefully it's easy for them to slap in varying levels of PHEV without much headache, right?

  • Ford rethinks EV strategy, is working on a smaller, cheaper EV platform

  • New Highlanders are just minivans for insecure people

  • Yeah, they have to survive getting rammed into by someone's M1 Abrams Raptor.

  • Chevy Silverado And GMC Sierra Plug-In Hybrids Are Coming: Report

  • Half feels generous.

    I've rented trucks and vans the few times I've needed one. And I can drive a way smaller car in the meantime. Best of both worlds.

  • Tesla dominated US EV registrations in 2023, but Rivian and Hyundai are catching on

    Jump

  • Maybe in certain circles, but they're everywhere and are some of the best selling EVs. I have 3 friends who bought one in the past year.

  • Download lossless quality music without paying corps. that stream it

    Jump

  • I switched to AntennaPod for podcasts because of this. It's also just a better experience - it auto downloads new episodes and deletes them after playing.

  • Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI: Read the memo

    Jump

  • I couldn't find any kind of history of tech bubbles that wasn't pro-bubble. Going backwards: "AI", VR, Blockchain/Crypto, ..., Dot Com bubble? I feel like there have to be more examples in there that I'm missing.

  • I think you're just describing poorly implemented bus and train systems.

    I miss when I lived somewhere with a better transit system that gave me the option. Taking a bus or light rail downtown or to the airport was so much easier and cheaper than finding and paying for parking.

  • Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption

    Jump

  • I don't think this is true anymore. The cost of a rideshare with SpaceX is super accessible. Companies can launch for <$1 million. This has been huge for a lot of companies trying to launch a proof of concept or one-off, and even for some operational constellations.

  • AstroForge thinks they can close the business case for asteroid mining. Their concept is to launch mining satellites to near-Earth M-type asteroids to mine platinum group metals. These would go on 2 year missions to bring back $100 million+ in metal at a time. With launch and satellite costs dropping, it might just work. Their forge demo sat has been struggling but moving forward. Their asteroid flyby demo sat should launch later this year.

    Redwire 3d printed a meniscus in space last year. That'll take awhile to get worthwhile scale and cost, but it's another interesting avenue.

    Varda hit regulatory trouble, but their orbital drug manufacturing demo did its job.

  • I think the concept of a crossover is fine (I drive an older one), but the ever-growing boxy hoods and rising beltline make for worse visibility and pedestrian safety. I wish there were more new sedan, hatchback, and station wagon options instead of a vehicle size arms race.
