Shaping cities for people, not cars. Exploring where technology meets sustainability. The future is here—it’s just not evenly distributed. Let’s fix that.
See, public transit vehicles are the most low bullshit design of heavy duty vehicles you’re going to see. The optimization is for maintainability and key performance measures like total cost of ownership, maintenance and energy cost per mile, vehicle availability and utilization so charge speed, etc

The Cybertruck is a joke. I thought it was a mule and a diversion from a surprise of an autonomous minibus like what GM Cruise and Amazon Zoox are working on.

Here’s my point. This is what a REAL battery electric bus looks like. Tesla could get away with their vaporware before. Not anymore.

I’ll get to what’s fundamentally wrong with the design of Tesla’s, but others have done that better, and I guess it’s a matter of taste to put everything on a giant screen and other stupid nonsense.

Assume I’m right and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the better car than a Model Y everywhere that matters.

BLUF - Bottom Line Up Front. My [REDACTED] wife taught me that. Here it is: Tesla is a house of cards built on vaporware. It was the hottest EV as late as 2019, but I haven’t seen anything compelling since then. I talked to their floor people at the DC auto show after test driving one in Oahu.

This is so stupid that the only logical conclusion is it’s a WWE-Style Heel Narrative. You’ve got to keep playing along though. I hope it’s over ASAP and we can turn back towards themes of heroes, courage, redemption arcs, virtuosos comebacks, Rocky stuff.

Okay, @kiley481.bsky.social , I’m just going to take their terrible shitty ideas that will lead us all down a dark and existentially dangerous path, and flip the table over like Jesus with the money changers. Here’s my prescription for Gaza:
