Well duh

Said the pot

Good concepts look good on the road. They have all the lights worked out. You’re proving the point this is a bad design. Leave it a rudimentary sketch and never building it, means it’s a bad design.

everything about this truck is ugly, and fucked up. Just scrap it and start over.

working to the point of suicide is a living wage?

wall street hungry, feed me

That’s the elites, the common folk, will hate him and refuse anything he says. The trump voters.

So in his world, he’s fine, but it’s the end of his political power.

The right will turn on him fast

You’re still changing the subject. That has nothing to do with the original complaint. The person starting this part of the thread I’m sure just wants a gas or diesel engine. That is all they are complaining about. You’re making it about safety, it’s valid, but off topic for the current discussion.

Absolutely false.

OK, but that is a totally different topic than electric trucks are bad, which was the start of this discussion. Do I think that there should be less trucks on the road, yes. When I was younger, you didn’t own a truck unless you regularly hauled stuff in the bed, or towed stuff. Now people own them just because. But again, you have totally changed the topic here.

Sales orders say differently. Since the majority of truck owners nowadays aren’t people who use them for work, they are popular, and nothing is wrong with them. They have more power than a gas truck as well.

When they are in stock, they are selling at normal retail prices again. The stock is still only lasting for hours to days unfortunately.

Being actually fired is not at all good for his CV at that level,

He ran EA. It doesn’t matter if he retires or is fired. It’s irrelevant at that level. Everyone knows the board said you need to leave, which means being fired. The only potential difference is final compensation. Future job prospects are not changed either way for him.

It really doesn’t matter if they step down or are fired. The words are meaningless. They will still get hired to run another company.

Not on a unibody.

This is for cars and small SUVs. The trucks still have frames. The cars and small SUVs are already unibodies. Just not multi-segmented unibodies. The two differences are that its multi-segmented, and the metal is cast, instead of forged in a stamping press.

Not on unibody cars. There isn’t a big increase in frame area in this car versus any other unibody out there. The difference here is the unibody isn’t actually a unibody, it’s a multipart unibody that is bolted together. A standard unibody, which is just about everything on the road today that isn’t a pickup truck, is all three of those frame pieces you see in that picuture, but as one giant piece. That big piece of metal you are normally used to seeing in car assembly photos. There are no frame rails under it. The unibody being split into segments is the first real change to the unibody design since GM started using it in the 80’s.

If you live anywhere in the US that isn’t a big coastal city, this isn’t an option.

You have been duly ignored.
