You also tend to not find them in the middle of cities. Texas just happens to be a car-dependent wasteland.

The problem is not with public transportation, the problem is that the area surrounding this highway was designed so that more cars and more lanes were the only possible solution.
Cars create problems that only cars can solve.
Edit: and to add more context: those 50 different locations are all separated by massive mandatory parking lots which make them miles apart from each other when they could likely all be contained in the same building in front of a single bus stop.
What does a 26 lane highway have to do with cities?
Everybody in this photo could fit in like 4 buses
Yeah, doesn’t the dude consider Batman his true identity and Bruce Wayne the costume?
Yeah I think they needed horsepower to run some sophisticated models in Matlab, and Apple had a killer educational discount.
Just seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu
I remember having my mind blown in college when I saw a Mac Pro tower running Ubuntu in a lab.
Yeah, and increasing your buying power can talk you into making a larger purchase than you might otherwise have made.
Technically LBJ killed the small truck with the chicken tax. If nobody can afford to import reasonably sized European and Asian trucks, we’re left with whatever the big three churn out.
The only thing I can think about is if you billed to a university address. A couple electronics outlets I shopped at would give discounts for students and universities.
need a vehicle that sits high
Why does anybody need a vehicle that “sits high”?
Zero grams sugar? That is not Sunny D
Hah! This is 100% me. I was so quick to reserve a Cybertruck that I accidentally had three reservations for a few days.
And I’ve been following Aptera since 2007. I really really hope they can pull it off this time.
What’s funny is that’s how it started. Apple sold movies as early as 2007 before Netflix or Amazon video or whatever and expected you to host the files locally either on your computer or your AppleTV (which had a hard disk drive at the time) and stream it locally over iTunes. If you lost the file, that was supposed to be it.
Of course, you still had to authenticate your files with the DRM service, and eventually they moved libraries online and gave you streaming access to any files you had purchased.
Nope. Destroying currency in a manner that does not constitute fraud is not illegal in America.
Let’s flip the equation here.
If driving wasn’t an option, you wouldn’t live 30 miles away from your job. Driving was an option, so you did and so did your neighbors. More neighbors move in, more cars, more traffic, more lanes, more neighbors, more cars, etc.
Alternatively, you move closer to work in a town with half decent sidewalks and walk or bike in. Bikes and people take up much less space which allows things to be closer together.
And yes, cars are necessary for hauling large objects over long distances, but how many vehicles in this photo do you think are carrying more than just people?
