> There is zero impact on any future expansion plans. We fully respect the referendum, and agree with @joergstb that this is a good opportunity to redouble our work with the community and all stakeholders. The zoning plan would potentially shift more freight traffic to expanded rail infrastructure and that would be an environmental and traffic benefit for the community. Contrary to the prevailing media narrative, the zoning changes have nothing to do with water - there is no need for additional water for any potential expansion of the site.
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.
The original article is not about the anonymity in the blockchain per se, but about the first person who made it explicit and published papers describing it, over "a decade" ago.
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
Yeah, the cybertruck is like a new dress shown in a fashion show. Perhaps a little too avant-garde for regular folks to wear/drive, but it pushes the envelope of what is considered normal and opens the way for others to try other innovative designs and materials. Sooner or later, the idea first showcased in Paris trickles down to H&M.
Even run-of-the-mill sedans and SUVs are looking more futuristic these days, and I like the trend. :)
> it's going to be very competitive on the used market once a million units are on the road
If a million units are on the road.
An unconventional design must dominate the market, and quickly so. Otherwise it just slowly settles into the position of a niche product that's expensive to fix.
It's cool to be the first mover that inspires a whole new generation of automotive design, like I said above, but being cool is not necessarily profitable.
