I’ve done a bit over 900km in a day a few times, it’s a full day, but easily done.

A man can dream.

Right, so you’re not getting anywhere near that on the open road.

1,036 km (644 miles) on a single charge under China’s CLTC testing standard.

Does anyone know how realistic this range is? You can get some absurd range from a vehicle if you’re driving on a closed course at 60kmh with no air conditioning or entertainment.

It also had a numberplate, I assume?

Your car has a series of numbers and letters on the back of it that are unique to the vehicle, and can be used to track you as well. There are even automated cameras that can do this.

Tracking a vehicle is easy, and always has been.

I imagine partly liability concerns, partly protecting their reputation.

Basically they don’t want their technology being used for something it’s not ready for, something going badly wrong, and them getting the blame.

How is a private company the voice of reason in this?

Not a new idea, although I don’t think that particular isotope has been used before.

Yeah I’ll take this seriously when it enters commercial service.

We’re surrounded by live wire all the time. They’re insulated, it’s fine.

Through a HV cable run to the ground, along with the cable to anchor it.

I mean, if you want more than three people to see the post…

Mostly people riding bicycles off the side of mountains.

I’ve seen some amazing POV footage from them, because the lens is actually in line with your eye level.

So, a lot of the market would be people who would otherwise use a GoPro.

The housing market is effed in a lot of places, no argument from me on that. But stringing up someone with a nest egg for their retirement isn’t the solution.

This platform is so incredibly out of touch with reality, especially the more left leaning side of things.

A millionaire these days just means you’ve paid off your mortgage and have a decent amount put away for retirement.
