All are tall models with shit efficiency.

Yes, and yet it is still so very far from reality when it comes to BEVs. It's fine when comparing cars because it's a well defined standard, but it's terrible at indicating actual range especially if you don't live in dry warm climate.

This truck is also a BEV, didn't say it wasn't. I'm saying go buy a BEV that's not a truck (and they all have better efficiency than trucks) that has a tow hitch instead of this if you're just commuting.

Don't buy a truck if you're just a daily commuter, that's just plain dumb. Get a BEV with much better efficiency and a tow hitch for the occasional needs.

That's not 150 miles of actual driving range, it's more like 75-100miles of actual range.

Meh, i tried usenet about a year or two ago when I was getting back into this, and it was utterly useless for anything that wasn't English speaking media for myself. Anything locally produced or foreign shows translated (for my kids) where almost impossible to find so YMMV. It seems to have a lot less variety than torrents offer.

I found a private torrent tracker that caters to my liking and now there's almost nothing I can't find anymore and it's also full bandwidth (1gbit in my case) download 90% of the time. Costs are about the same, just for VPN instead of provider and indexer.

Traffic fines are made to bankrupt drivers or to finance the state, but to encourage people to drive safely.

Yeah that really depends on location...in Denmark the minimum fine for speeding is 160€, and that's if you're just more than 3kmph above limit...it just increases from there and ends with something like a 1000€ fine and them withdrawing your drivers licence (a new licence is going to set you back 2000€). If you're above 100% speeding the take the car too.

That's not going to be enough...the dude claimed "coast to coast" autonomous driving capabilities "by end of the year" back in 2016.

...Until they suddenly don't anymore
