No I said “ Even if the truck has been a flop I doubt their whole battery program has been “ The replier then went off on one about the truck actually being a flop. I already conceded it had been. The main point was that their battery prog

Electrek’s ‘reporting’ has proven so one-sided that I take all their stories with a bucket of salt. Even if the truck has been a flop I doubt their whole battery program has been. Perhaps they’re rejigging suppliers and pausing whilst they

Lets take a step back and realise how incredible this is (I'm sure there are plenty of other `ackshually` comments) Can it do Will Smith eating spaghetti? (I can't get access in UK)

This is my main concern too. The next question is what is the cost and difficulty of creating the foundations necessary to handle the worst wind you can expect?

Same. It seems the coding part of my brain and the communicating are mutually exclusive I wonder if it’s related to the phenomena of some people having a ‘narrator’ in their head or, like me, there’s no voice and it takes effort to convert
