HAHA FUCKING CALLED IT

They want to enrich the in-crowd and cement complete media control of the US.

They’re not really “against” him as much ad they strictly enforce their tos rules against calls to violence due to legal liability- which, with the wrong “phrasing”, talking about the Green Plumber will run afoul of.

Many Libraries carry music and movies on physical media too!

Ohhh so thats why all the Big Tech people gave him so much money!

Get out of here with that big science speak that isn’t allowed in American now

The benefit is driveline efficiency- by eliminating all gears/CV joints/axles and only having one or two bearing races rotating, you reduce driveline friction losses and “wasted” rotational inertia to effectively null. With electric vehicles every single watt per mile matters, even shaving 0.1% off helps bunches. It also reduces part count, and thus cost too.

Per wheel motor drives also allows significantly more advanced torque vector traction control.

The downside is just what you say, mechanical isolation- the motor is now in a dirtier, harsher environment, the power cables must now flex continuously with the suspension and will be a very high risk failure point, and the outboard wheel now has a significantly higher unsprung mass meaning the suspension will need to be beefier and be less effective at dampening road vibrations to the rest of the vehicle.

But Trump will in 3 days, and then his buddy Musk can buy it up.

Calling it now, the supposed “rumors” of Musk wanting to buy out TikTok are suddenly going to become not-rumors on January 21st.

FTC really do be dropping all of the really hot lawsuits that should have happened years ago… all of 4 days before it won’t matter anymore and the FTC will get dissolved lmfao what a virtue signaling shitfest

Every citizen: “hey can we fix the rapidly collapsing public infrastructure, allow housing to be built, and promote domestic good paying industries to fix our stagnant wages and cost of living crisis?”

Labour: “HAHAHA MEGACORP AI IN ALL ZE THINGS!!!1!!1!”

Pretty much any battery can charge in 12 minutes if you can handle their thermal constraints.
