    That feature probably won't be pushed on us until they've trialed it in China and Sweden first.

    It's a great idea. Perhaps "Geery" (what; did you think Volvo was still Scandinavian??) can call it the "Non-Ludicrous Edition" and offer a fat fucking rebate to compensate the customer for the Tercel-like "performance."

    What will the weight of whatever cargo is on the roof do to the range?

    What will the drag resistance of whatever cargo is on the roof do to the range?

    Mass will impact a vehicle with regenerative braking negligibly and even less so if your tires have the correct inflation for the given load.

    You're so over-the-top with your anti-Elon moronitude that I almost wonder if you're not the man himself... likely smoking a fatty while trolling the gullible,

    And /. is a fairly well educated bunch, so we also know that our voting choices got us here.

    Can't argue with there... but if we were intelligent and logical (there are too many who are merely "educated" and nothing more), we might know that the voting decisions of the masses are 'well-contained' by our two-faced, one-party system . Vive La Difference... only there really isn't one.

    In geopolitics, "legitimacy" is an imaginary concept that's only relevant to appearances (or "optics," for the echo-chamber mouthbreathers with tiny vocabularies).

    Last I checked Uber's model was trading investor cash for market share

    Not really; they're trading current profits for self-driving/self-flying R&D/IP but they're doing so in an overly-agressive and panicky fashion (hence their losses) because they know their current business model, although currently lucrative as fuck, is on borrowed time.

    You can't expect a nation of 300 million to ever get down to the same emissions as one of 50 million.

    If, say, that nation of 300 million was a densely populated country like Japan with high-tech infrastructure... and the nation of 50 million was rural abd agrarian... then yes, I would.

    A few years ago, I saw something distinctly artificial in the sky that didn't fit the narrative; now I question reality.

    Just kidding; I realize there are serious holes in the narrative... and those holes are a lot more interesting abd revealing than the sand most of my fellow skeptics want to bury their heads in.

    Nonetheless, if this guy's "research" was actually legitimate, we wouldn't be reading about it.

    What's interesting - and revealing - is how desperately the pedants and the autists are struggling to write this "inconvenience" into the narrative.

    Gee, if we assign it zero mass...

    I suppose the round, silvery artifact that saw in the sky over South Tulsa a few years back had to have zero mass as well; otherwise it "shouldn't have been able to be there."

    When you run into "shouldn't," your theories and equations are shit.
