I used to work in an Engineering role in the Detroit auto industry. I think this is a good thing. The big three have been stagnantly focused on building their cars to be as cheap and shitty as possible for decades. Over bloated and perpetually behind the curve.
Maybe this will light a fire under their asses and motivate them to invest in EVs properly and improve their quality.
Probably not though.
Make sure to loop a lock through the frame and both wheels. I use an ABUS frame lock on my rear wheel (never has to be removed) and a kryptonite chain lock for the front wheels and frame.
If you want to get really secure, replace fasteners with tamper resistant versions.
Nothing is ever theft proof, but there’s lots of ways to make your bike very theft resistant.
Because the people in charge of enforcing and interpreting the law are ideologically aligned with him.
Do you ever take the time to gaze across the river and feel like you’re looking at a zoo enclosure?
I’d get an electric car if I could charge it easily. Right now EV ownership is coupled to home ownership and mass adoption will never happen while this is the case.
If my apartment complex installed EV chargers in our parking lot, I’d be a lot more willing to get one. I ain’t spending 8 hours a day twiddling my thumbs in a grocery store parking lot just to drive between work and home.
Pretty easy. Get a big flat slab of solid matter (probably wood, plastic, or metal) and put a handle in the middle.
This is what happens when any organization is run by an endless cascade of conspiracy theorist nutjobs. People who are unable to conceive or accept reality are also unable to manage reality including finances. Their strategy for everything is to gaslight and throw blame. There’s not even a shred of critical thinking about how they’re actually going to manage or solve the problem.
Gaslighting a bank will not work as well as gaslighting voters.
Yeah you’ll be fine. It’s not about shoes, its about not tracking in dirt and mud and other crap from outside.
That is correct. Not sure if you were trying to dispute my comment but to clarify, the remark I was making is that slavery =/= imprisonment on its own. Slavery = imprisonment + work.
Only if they force you to work.
Oh so no more gun bans in public places? They won’t even stop you if you, say, show up to the judge’s courthouse with a loaded rifle? That’s ok now?
According to the judge, it’s apparently just fine to show up armed at banks, Churches, and playgrounds like that’s a normal thing people do.
I see they’re dumping the engine but I wonder how they’re handling the transmission. I bet it’s probably a manual only conversion.
EV conversion has been a thing for a while, albeit not at this scale, and my understanding is that automatic transmissions just turn to sand against the torque of a singular big EV motor. That’s why most dedicated EVs don’t have transmissions at all in favor of wheel specific motors and SSR gears.
It’s like trying to slam a revolving door.
End? I think the word I’d use would be “Start”.
If this happens I’m becoming a terrorist.
It’s in a book. They’ll never find out…
Yes, but only in Europe.
I’m convinced the media wants Trump to win exclusively because he makes them lots of money. They made a killing during the Trump years just by reporting on the live status of the dumpster fire.
They haven’t made as much money under Biden, so they’re undermining the fuck out him in favor of Trump.
Classic capitalism. Profit > Truth. Profit > Democracy.
This one is definitely going right to the ideas bin. I love new and creative ways to make the party question their sanity.
