@Tfmonkey one more platform to stream for the sake of redundancy
@southpole21 no ahahaha
@spectre and sure batteries can improve, but they can't be made smaller or increase their range more than the laws of physics allow. The cathedral's goal is actually to reduce the amount of cars on the road reducing our freedom of movement.
@spectre nothing against EVs actually, but solving the power grid is the final boss.
@spectre Mercedes had an electric 190 in the late 80s and Opel had the electric GT all the way back in 1971. If they were a viable alternative, the free market would've already figured them out.
@spectre Electric cars are too heavy, range highly reduced depending with outside temperature and amenity usage, replacing batteries costs more than what the car will be worth, plus they catch fire if you crash them.
EVs have been around for 150 years. The only reason they're a thing now is because they're being forced on to the market.
@spectre not just the new one, but the original Top Gun as well. Of course it was implied the enemy was soviet Russia, but it was never outright stated. In the new one, the enemy does have Russian Su-57s, but they also still have functional F14s and the only country currently matching that is Iran and the enemy is just identified as a "rogue nation".
@spectre this is why Top Gun is great. There is no enemy. There is no us vs them
@DicusMaximus @spectre yes
@spectre You can blame euro NCAP and pedestrian safety features for that
