have an electric version of any current car is dumb. The whole design of modern cars for the most part is around the limitation of Internal combustion engines

2019-01-19 20:57:03 UTC  

it has a really nice turbo in it

2019-01-19 20:57:20 UTC  

is it as dumb as making the new Camaro in a 4-cylinder?

2019-01-19 20:57:20 UTC  

not exactly

2019-01-19 20:57:28 UTC  

I mean, yeah, the hood shape may have started for that

2019-01-19 20:57:44 UTC  

but large front crumple zones are kinda good in general

2019-01-19 20:58:29 UTC  

the boot seems to be a good area for the soft top to fold into as well

2019-01-19 20:58:50 UTC  

ICE or no-ICE, I think cars will continue to look pretty darn similar.

2019-01-19 20:59:13 UTC  

including the oddities with no hood or boot

2019-01-19 20:59:27 UTC  

not having a hood or boot seems dumb

2019-01-19 20:59:33 UTC  

I agree

2019-01-19 20:59:38 UTC  

that's space that could be used for storage

2019-01-19 20:59:43 UTC  

well

2019-01-19 20:59:48 UTC  

you can use the whole car for storage

2019-01-19 20:59:55 UTC  

I don't want my shit in the cab with me

2019-01-19 20:59:56 UTC  

arguably it's better if that's all interior

2019-01-19 21:00:01 UTC  

i.e. no hood, bigass hatch

2019-01-19 21:00:06 UTC  

two rows of folding rear seats

2019-01-19 21:00:40 UTC  

hmm, buzzfeed is fake news, oh my, who'd a thunk.

2019-01-19 21:00:43 UTC  

I don't like all-electric cars because I live in a rural state, so I've experienced long stretches where there are no service stations

2019-01-19 21:00:54 UTC  

it's good to be able to carry canisters of gas

2019-01-19 21:00:56 UTC  

@Paradox well, BuzzFeed News was surprisingly decent for a couple years

2019-01-19 21:01:04 UTC  

they seem to have tossed that out though

2019-01-19 21:01:07 UTC  

better than the onion?

2019-01-19 21:01:10 UTC  

I can get 580 miles per tank on my diesel

2019-01-19 21:01:18 UTC  

that is basically the standard, @Paradox

2019-01-19 21:01:31 UTC  

I thought about getting a diesel

2019-01-19 21:01:38 UTC  

@Mr. Jesus but if you stand next to it you will get cancer more quickly

2019-01-19 21:01:40 UTC  

but I don't have anywhere to warm the plugs

2019-01-19 21:01:52 UTC  

and a lot more can go wrong

2019-01-19 21:02:16 UTC  

I think FC Hâ‚‚ is going to be the enthusiast way to go though

2019-01-19 21:02:18 UTC  

@xorgy a bacon sandwich can give you cancer

2019-01-19 21:02:22 UTC  

batteries really suck for the time being

2019-01-19 21:02:27 UTC  

yes but a bacon sandwich can only really be itself

2019-01-19 21:02:33 UTC  

I've learned to ignore most cancer warnings

2019-01-19 21:02:38 UTC  

there is no analogue of bacon sandwich which will not give you cancer

2019-01-19 21:02:57 UTC  

@EndangeredProdigy the ones about diesel particulates are pretty severe

2019-01-19 21:03:16 UTC  

if you go outside, breathing the air will most likely give you cancer too though

2019-01-19 21:03:22 UTC  

because of how high pollution is

2019-01-19 21:03:24 UTC  

@xorgy well they said the same about leaded diesel etc

2019-01-19 21:03:29 UTC  

it'll give you more cancer if that air has diesel particulates in it lol
