Nice, more downmass capsules like this and Varda (and hopefully Stoke some time soon) open up a lot more research and potential manufacturing opportunities. It's odd to me that Dragon Lab never flew for a mission like this.

The tides would be legendary

Does glare mess with that front screen?

Other than the instrument cluster part, the rest just seems like they're filling space because they have it.

And it eats into the driver field of view a bit, but I'm sure they have auto braking that will save some kids when the driver with reduced visibility is on their phone.

I'm a little split on this. I took one in SF for the novelty, and I do think it's a better driving experience than the big ride hailing apps. It's a nicer car and a smoother ride. But this is taking jobs from people who need them. Granted, they're shitty jobs without any benefits, but still jobs.

Denver isn't terrible for snow (it melts pretty quickly), but I'm still curious to see how they handle that. And the random 5 minute apocalyptic downpours.

I'm not seeing many Canadian (consumer) EV companies. Really just AXL, that has a single generic SUV/crossover that doesn't look like it's shipping yet.

The nerve of you, Dennis

I think you don't see more hate because only 1% of the population knows anything about it

Are we sure those front ones aren't rollers?

That's probably about the best appointment we could expect from this administration at this point? Amit Kshatriya has a really good resume and can hopefully be the adult in the room. I would love to hear an interview.

I feel like people should be clamoring for something with the form factor of the short wheelbase Buzz. 5 seater, sliding doors, and a huge cargo volume. That shape is so much more practical than the SUVs everyone gobbles up.

I like names so much more than numbers. ID 2, 3, and 4 become the ID Polo, Golf, and Tiguan would make me happy.

Wait what? The ID4 is the SUV one and the ID3 is the hatchback one that isn't available in the US? I guess the ID3 is a bit bigger than a Golf, but the battery pack has to go somewhere.
