I'm always astounded how we ignored evil businessman Bill long enough for him to reinvent himself as an mega-philanthropist. Fair to apply embrace, extend, extinguish to his reputation at this point. He would do that to you without hesitation.

Exactly my thought. MapQuest had a big print button for A to B directions in the late 90s, before Google even existed. I can't find the print button anywhere on their site today.

What the does this even mean? Is it EOL, EOS, or something else? Will it be keeping up with news and events or will it still think Trump is POTUS in 2030?

Yet Another Bad Idea. The only engine that makes sense is a small generator married to an EREV. Everything else will be dead in 10 years.

For buyers today that may actually mean less depreciation as six cylinder engines become harder and harder to find. But yeah I'm sure automakers can see the writing on the wall.

From an elevated Powershell prompt:

Yes. It's literally pollution in your content. Full stop.

8,075 owners didn't seem to mind it. Gigafactory 4 hums along with them. That's still a respectable output for any car factory.

Ok, but it was making very fast money as well. Gambling with the odds in your favor? Sounds like a good time.

Moreover, the fact that 'wealthy' is part of the headline tells us that crypto has failed it's founding promise to be a global liberation of money.

That was obvious. You can make money to make money, and so there more money you have the more you can more, and therefore the only way to prevent accumulation ad infinitum is to forcefully take it from people who have it (taxes).

All of this is basically still there in another form.

1. If you count drive gearing, it has a transmission. Teeth will experience wear if not properly maintained.

2. Almost all modern EVs now are oil cooled. There are a few exceptions. See above.

3. All have a radiator for cooling. See above.

4. The 'exhaust system' is 100% gone. Heat the only waste product.

5. There is plenty of rubber and plastic hoses and gaskets in EVs that will break during the lifetime of the vehicle, just like they do in ICE.

I totally agree that the service is much less of a burden to the owner. About an order of magnitude less 'work' for them.
