WDB is deep in debt, taken on when they merged. So no they don’t have money to burn.

No test screenings. Oopsie.

Interesting that it had no test screening. Would the movie have been savable with reshoots and re-edits?

“Could” doing some heavy “bOtH SidES!” lifting in that headline.

It needs to look like a Starbucks or a McDonald’s. These idiot franchises on the highway should be adding EV chargers — it’s a captive audience.

One shot and the bad guy drops dead. Ten shots and the good guy goes to the hospital and lives.

Also you don’t instantly die when you’re shot.

I’m not aware of any water to spare anywhere.

How much do you suppose the music rights and residuals cost for these properties that Disney already owns? Is it insignificant? Would switching to a streaming model similar to the music industry change things (you only get paid per view)?

If Microsoft is paying for it, why do they need a loan?

Will Microsoft also be paying for any nuclear waste disposal?

Burning wood to make electricity is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard of.

Lucky you. Neither of the EVs I’ve owned have worked this way. The guess o meter automatically goes down when the AC is turned on.

“A study by AAA found that a temperature of 95 degrees outside translates to a 17% range loss.”

Twitter is gone. It died the day Elon fired most of its staff.

You’re going to get 100 miles of real world range out of that 120 rating. Then you will lose 20 for running the AC. That’s 80 miles. If you add passengers, that’s another 20 you will lose. You’re now down to 60 miles of range. Better hope your commute is under 30 miles each way and that you don’t have to stop for groceries or something on the way home. Also that last 20 miles of battery power, the car is going to go into power saving mode and will turn off the AC.

Got passed by a Toyota xD van today and was thinking about how well these would sell in the US with a decent battery in them. The rectangular design means you could double up the battery underneath the floorboard space.

As someone who drove an original fiat 500e with a similar range, I can assure you this is not enough battery for anywhere but the market it’s designed for (South Korea). You will eat through that “best estimate” of 120 miles in a day’s worth of driving, especially with additional passengers and the AC running.

That’s fine but people elsewhere shouldn’t get too excited about it. When the price is listed in US dollars as some sort of bargain instead of the currency where it’s sold, it gets misleading.

Nice design, but only goes about 100 miles to the charge. That’s unacceptable in today’s market. It will go even fewer miles with additional passengers and the air conditioning turned on. I’d imagine they put a small battery in it to hit that lower price point.

They’re killing it in Europe, but half the cars you mentioned aren’t available in North America. That’s part of the problem.
