Controls on the wheel or yoke include: turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, high beams, cruise/autopilot/FSD, voice command, and two 5-way scroll wheel things which are somewhat programmable and enable additional options when another button is pressed. By default I think they control audio, cruise speed, and following distance.

Older models have some of the above on stalks.

Beyond the wheel you've got window controls, gear selector, map lights, buttons and levers to open the doors, a gas and brake pedal, I think that's it

That said, you mostly tell the car what to do with voice commands. "Defrost the windows" or "open the glove box" or "drive to Costco" etc.

Edit: Hazard lights too

The next generation of regulations is not

Imagine 40kWh batteries in homes for $5000 installed. It's not far off.

Fill up every night at 5c/kWh off peak. Sell for a profit when the price is right

Irresponsible headline. Nobody who has done an hour of research in the last decade expects that flavor of anonymity on the blockchain.

440 is the high-powered version with big battery option. long range goes 470 with the same pack

Shame it doesn't have a bench seat up front. That's the retro-futurist vibe I was hoping for

Still a success in the history of automobile design. Lambo-level arrogance at 10x the scale

Practically speaking, if you need to haul sod or tow your boat to the lake an hour away, it's going to be very competitive on the used market once a million units are on the road

Two discrete technologies that don't need to be married.

Fusion

And directed energy weapons aimed at orbital debris

First license of many

I'm sorry that's wack. Not nearly good or polished enough to be a serious contender.

Realistic take: your 400 mile range EV runs ~300 in the dead of winter. Your 300 mile EV runs ~230 miles.

If you drive less than 200-300 miles per day, you plug in at night and never worry.

Took me a full year to stop worrying about it. Was always doing the range math in my head.

No shit. We could send them to scrappers in Africa so they could make a buck but that's verboten now too.

Bought a whole rig with yoke and rudders to play the 2020 version. $3k well spent for probably 200 hours of flight time. Feel like I could Sullenberger a water landing if I had to. Delusional I know but it's a game.

What does the upgrade to 2024 get me?
