No, retcon, I'm just not going to explain every fucking thing I say and how I'm saying it.
Does dittums need me to let hims know HOW I'm writing what I write, he said sarcastically?
Ain't gonna happen. If you can't get the inflection from the topic and what is written... tough titty.

It DOES have a 100 mile range.
"Reserve" is a different animal.
They'll never say they HAVE a 150 mile range, because they'll be held to it by some dumb ass, some day, and where will that leave
them if they're past the point of no return?
How many charging stations you think they have out and away from the city?
Methinks that if it's city to suburbs, they might have some problems getting to exactly where the passenger(s) need to go.
If it's building to building within the city, there are WAY cheaper types of transportation.
(T)he pricing estimates provided earlier ($200-$500 per ride) are probably too low. Joby Aviation may aim to charge
more premium prices, potentially in the range of **$500-$1,500** per ride or MORE, depending on the service offerings, distance,
and other factors.
100 mile RANGE.
This ain't no "Hunt for Red October"!

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
