@cbaccus They have to do it to get government support. The billions in IRA funds are probably worth more than the consternation, is their thinking

@BrianLongFilms AI art is always so obvious and so bad

@johnvoelcker This reminds me how every Android phone reviewer talks about how the device is great except it doesn't have iMessage. True, but boring.

@JoshKempWX @sailorspork @SCOTUSblog Why is it any different than in person? Seriously? I have some medications I need to take that are more serious than this one. Should my doctor have to watch me each time? Do you know most people in the south have to travel 600 miles to have meeting they could have done on Zoom?

@ThomasTrauscht7 @SCOTUSblog you sound unhinged. Do you know that?

[Colin Bird-Martinez @Auto_Bird]

@JoshKempWX @sailorspork @SCOTUSblog It's a common first step for anti-abortion states to ban abortion. Making people waste their time to be watched as they take a pill is to create a barrier so people in 6-15 week states wont have time to get approved. Not sure why you think that is necessary?

Sony/Honda r making a massive mistake by not using the Sony name on their new EVs!!! Especially for a name that sounds like a RX drug. I’m digging the idea of a front end display though. Could have a lot of commerical applicairons. Also, easier for Sony to change the name back 😅

Headed to #CES2023. Looking forward to see the latest tech. Volvo, RAM, Chrysler have some exciting news according to the press.

@itskyleconner Also if you plan to keep the vehicle long term, you have to think about how your EV becomes less and less capable as it loses total possible range. It will be about 80% capacity with regular driving patterns, in temperate weather, in about 7-9 years.

[Colin Bird-Martinez @Auto_Bird]

@Mike_M_Klotz agreed, except for Envision

[Colin Bird-Martinez @Auto_Bird]

The fact that Stellantis is going to sell the Dodge Hornet AND Alfa Romeo Tonale in tandem in the US is fairly heinous... more so for the continuation of building prestige for Alfa in the US. The approach is a textbook example of badge engineering.
