Like the Ami, but just enough bigger and faster to accommodate out of town commutes?

Seems like it’s time to make an updated depiction

One person I know claimed to have run calculations, and found that the tire dust alone was putting out more pollution than the tires and tailpipe of the average gas car. Idk where they got their numbers or how that could work out, since the average gas car in America is a large truck.

Ah, so any specific color. Yeah, that makes more sense.

Something I’ve heard from people in my life is that once you have a nicer car with all the creature comforts, it is really hard to go back. Strong air conditioning, extra comfy seats, quiet driving or the right kind of loud driving are all hard to give up.

But like, so many used cars are grey? I always heard that people buy white, black, and grey because they sell better later on.

Every comparison I’ve ever seen puts the new car as far, far more expensive than used.

Do two cars have to be different models and different years? Can it work out to compare the same trim level of the same car, and have the new one cost less overall than the used one?

I’ve never figured for any warranty in my car buying, so I’m playing a whole different ballgame here. I just go by advertised price, average gas milage, and how expensive is it when it breaks?

I always wonder who is buying brand new vehicles. Why buy new instead of a car from one year ago?

Lemmy is not a “they” who did this. Lemmy is the platform on which a user decided to share their canvas idea thing. Anyone who is not interested in this idea can block the person who posted it and any community where they see the same idea again.

Re apply after a few hours

Yep. To share on Facebook to either outrage about the subject or prop up their own idea of how the word is.

If they have an emotional reaction to the headline, (positive or negative) they click. Clicks make money.

Whether they click to read the fluff or click to share the headline doesn’t matter, a click is a click.

Reloading usually works, but gets old.

Mobile Firefox seems to still work

This is really putting a dent in my enjoyment of YouTube

If you are in the US, look into minivans, or cargo vans. They are not popular here, so you’re not paying the pretty tax on them, and most vans with the rear seats removed can easily fit 4x8 plywood in the back. A beater van with a strong engine should be a lot cheaper than a beater pickup truck.

It would need to be a better design than that! Even a hanging loop behind a door would be better than that.

Nah, make the cable retractable, and only release it after a payment method has been approved. Also post security or put charging stations near police departments.

I think modern safety standards alone would cost a few hundred million in research, or make it necessary to start from an existing donar car to make the type of thing I’m dreaming of.

I doubt a modern manufacturer would want to partner with a company designed to make basic but everlasting vehicles, so the imaginary billionaire would probably need to buy up whatever car the engineers want to start from in bulk.

Time to make a billion dollars on something else, then start up a car company designed to fail. No investors, design a car for a 60-70k buying price, few bells and whistles, but built to last indefinitely with basic maintenance. Start the company planning to practically close it down just after the last preorder customer has their car delivered and become a maintenance company with a few employees to make replacement parts and install them. If demand rises, redesign for the new times, ramp up and do it all again.

What’s the difference? Most of what’s on there is an ad for something. A lifestyle, a look, a road trip destination, a festival, a food.

I was hoping they’d start adding a sort of rounded plastic shell to make it more aerodynamic and cover over the sharp edges, but if customers still like them after an injury there’s no incentive to dull the edges.

If enough non-customers are killed, they may have to do something, but idk what.

Yep, they suddenly started doing that early this morning after several hours of playing videos just fine.
