"Embarking on physical hull fabrication before completing a preliminary design review (PDR) and freezing the 3D spatial design model risks severe engineering setbacks."
I am sure Bent Flyvbjerg would consider this to be a bad way to start a project and keep it on time and budget.

“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”
It may be mind-boggling but totally understandable.

I appreciate your new outlook, however, I used to look forward to your Sydney street scenes as I have not lived there for 36 years.

All one has to look to for shared values is gun control. The US is content to put up with school shootings to keep their access to guns.

The last one who thought about it was Gough, and Look what happened to him.

Doing a conversion would be hard work. (I would have loved to convert my S2000.) One cannot really be telling people to move to EVs via a conversion. They have to be commercially available.

Ten years sounds more reasonable. If one forgets about the GM EV1 and considers EVs really only started with Tesla providing a commercial EV ten years sounds about right. In 2009 I was in a Tesla workshop watching them work on the Lotus variant. In 2013 I used to see a Model S on the road each day.
