How's the new Iran deal working out? Is it better than the Obama deal? Was it a complete and utter victory and whose? Do you hasbara bros have the uranium? Shall we thank you, LOL?

Hehehe, hasbara bro, why did you change topic so abruptly?

How's the greatest 'deal' with Iran going? Is the uranium in the hands of the trumpistan? Are the mighty u ass of ay blocking the oil flow to China and the money flow to Iran to help democracy and undermine the regime? Who is in control of the negotiations these days? Appears to be Iran, who can call on vajay dunce and have him on or off the plane on a whim.

Stop babbling about Ukraine, hasbara magat, your lot is entirely responsible for all loss of life territory since Avdiivka after you cut off aid to Ukraine, and you have nothing at all to do with the current air superiority of the Ukrainians - it is all made in Europe and to the chagrin of the "spirit of Anchorage' that trumpy is still spreading around.

Zero credit for Ukraine to your traitorous lot, you cunts.

Even with gas prices being what they currently are, the truck buying demographic tends to heavily lean towards having an ICE as a feature. Plus, it really only makes sense to have an EV if you can charge at home. DCFC is incredibly expensive, and with data centers sucking up all the electricity on the grid, it's probably going to get worse.

I say this as someone who has two EVs in his household. You really, really don't want an EV unless you're able to do the bulk of your charging while plugged in at home.

No infotainment at all seems like an overcorrection. The entire raison d'etre for CarPlay and Android auto was because trying to futz around with a tiny phone screen while you're supposed to be paying attention to the road, was never ideal in the first place. Things really didn't start going south until auto manufacturers decided to move the HVAC controls and God-knows-what-else to the infotainment, which absolutely is a trend that needs to die.

If everyone can afford a car, who will ride around in Musk's Cybercabs?

My folks always owned Fords when I was growing up. They were actually nice cars when they ran properly, which was rarely.

I was thinking Duran Duran.

Her truck’s a RIO
It gets stuck in the sand
She shoulda bought that Cyber thing
But it was seventy-five grand

I'm in to it. I don't have the spare cash to risk buying a version 1.0 Maybe in a couple years.

I actually know someone who is kinda like this and the reason the Slate truck is a non-starter for them is because it's still cheaper to keep buying gas for and maintaining their existing ICE vehicle than having to make car payments.

That also kind of leans a bit into the reason why low-end cars just don't sell well in general in the USA - everybody finances their purchase, and then the difference between being stuck in some crappy penalty box or something that's actually comfy with luxury features just boils down to coughing up a few extra bucks every week.

Which is always going to look jankier than if they'd actually provided something like an actual Double DIN mounting location in the first place. You can get generic Chinese Android head units for around $100 all day long and here's the surprising part - they're actually not that bad. I installed one in my old ICE work van (after becoming accustomed to having CarPlay in my Chevy Bolt) and honestly my only complaint is that it could stand to go a little louder.

Ok, what is is the 3rd option for coal?

Sure, whatever makes you feel better about it. For nuclear power in particular amongst energy generation I think it's the only option that's been proven to work.

France, China, India, Brazil, Canada, you look at the under construction list of reactors worldwide and I believe all of them have a an SOE behind them. The economics of nuclear are unique enough amongst energy generation it just totally gears it towards that model.

About the only negative I see is the 2000lb towing capacity. Whether that matters or not is whether you'd actually buy a pick-up/SUV for towing boats and trailers. Otherwise it's a very inexpensive vehicle with a huge amount of utility that'll work as a commuter vehicle for 99% of the population.

Insert that jackass here who always insists that nobody should be allowed to build or buy such a vehicle because it can't drive across the entire country without recharging and needs to be able to carry 15 sheets of dry wall, a fridge, and a large family at the same time. (Most US families are two car - this'll work perfectly for the person who needs to commute to work, with the other being a minivan.)

What? Why not? I can choose my electricity provider from a list of available suppliers at various price points utilizing various sources. It used to cost more to choose a "green" energy company. Now the local green energy provider is the least expensive option in my area.
