I think he is saying the parents have lead impaired thinking and thus are not good at storing the weapons?

I think that is their plan. But until we start seeing production cars, i will remain skeptical.

Frame on rails doesnt save you any money in repairs if the frame is damaged. The real key is to hace rapairability as part of the design. The problem with the rivian isnt that its unibody, its that the exterior pannels are part of the unibody, so a small exterior dent is essentialy frame damage. That being siad, its likley cosmetic damage.

EVs will never be frame on rails due to battery packaging. The most likley similar design would be body on “skateboard” as they call it. But the hybrid approach does make better cars. Frame on rails has issues with twisting and flex that unibody solves. This makes the cars drive softer and handle better.

But either way, any design could have easy replacable exterior panels. Most unibody designs still have replacable bumpers, front quarter panels, mirrors, doors, trunks, etc. For some reason though they dont do usually do it on rear quarter panels, which is where the costs skyrocket. Just like in that r1t picturee above. The rear quarter panel could have been a replacable part. There may be a good reason for this, but i suspect its mostly production cost savings, with maybe a bit of weight savings.

No idea, does it matter?

Slate… though who knows if it will ever materialize in the real world.

Its ugly, but you can ger bmw i3’s for less than 5K. If you just want a people mover…

Apples and Oranges my firend.

You can also buy used ev’s for less than $6k.

The arguement wasnt about price, its about what is a better vehicle for the average driver.

I love cars, and im mourning the death of the manual transmission. But i bought an EV for my daily. Its just a better daily use car. Less maintenance, lots of convenience, no extra cost in gass prices and technically faster than my toy car. It doesnt give me the driving experience i want, but grabbing takeout, or sitting in traffic, its just better.

The key tonthe article isnt that it got through, ita that the thing that got through is cheap and mass producable. The modern drone battlefield has changed the landscape of war.

The problem isnt co pilot. Its co pilot being rammed in incredibly stupid ways into every possible product.

More importantly, its cramming it in everywhere when basis windows 11 sucks. Explorer sucks, search sucks, performance sucks, Updates suck.

Im also confused. Do these people not have some sort of version control and backups? Even if the AI did it, no one has backups? Did the ai also delete the backups and repos? If the building burnt down, would they be in the same situation, it just wouldnt make it to the news?
