I thought you couldn’t get in the lottery without an account for 12 months? I would assume they would know the geolocation of the account and only say the Japanese accounts in this.

I’m sorry, but riding a motorcycle is vastly different than driving one of these, even the posture from riding to sitting makes a huge difference in comfort, but also these things are claustrophobic as hell, most people don’t realize just HOW small these actually are.

Imagine riding your bike and being enclosed by glass by an inch everywhere, your comfort would drop massively.

They are like driving an ATV or go cart with a canopy though. Kinda scary to be going highway speeds in them around even other sedans. You do get used to it though. Just like anything else.

You mean where the people and shopping would go…? In an already compact kei car where it’s a premium…? Wonderful idea! /s

There’s also more to it than just battery size, more weight, less range per W, more cost to manufactur, so higher cost to buy… wouldn’t be a kei car and lose the insurance and other benefits….

If you’re struggling to believe something so simple, you maybe shouldn’t be commenting on something you have no knowledge on…?

That wouldn’t get me to one side of my city and back without a charge, but with chargers at malls, shouldn’t be an issue.

More range would make it larger, defeating a large portion of its purpose.

It’s meant for driving around a city, 200km should be more than enough for a day of shopping.

That’s because Scotland isn’t making it part of their identity like USA did dude….

Also, the USA has their own bullshit version, single malt whiskey. Of course they would try and copy while refusing to let others -.-

If you make an aged oak spirit in the UK, it would be a corn whiskey, that exact same spirit in the USA would be Bourbon.

Thank you for the being the stereotypical ignorant American who thinks bourbon is unique.

concurrent resolution adopted by the United States Congress in 1964 declared bourbon to be a "distinctive product of the United States" and asked "the appropriate agencies of the United States Government ... [to] take appropriate action to prohibit importation into the United States of whiskey designated as 'Bourbon Whiskey'."[26][27] A U.S. federal regulation now restricts the definition of bourbon for whiskey to only include spirits produced in the U.S.[28]

That’s it, it’s literally a USA ego thing.

Also, scotch is a terrible example, that’s another unique one, it’s made in Scotland only…. You really don’t know your whiskey history at all do you?

Hey you just described the requirement of corn whiskey? Anyone can distill a spirit that could be called Bourbon, but they can’t, since it wasn’t bottled in the USA.

The only difference between a corn whiskey is bourbon is bottled in the USA, but try to make it sound better than it is. It’s a corn whiskey, bottled in the USA.

Try a corn whiskey, some people don’t like Rye or the other grains, but the only distinction (again) between corn whiskey and bourbon is quite literally Bourbon is only bottled in the USA. That’s it. Nothing else.

The “baiting” is to find the Americans, they cling to bourbon is better, but it’s really not, it’s a corn whiskey, distilled in the USA. Americans are the only ones swooning over a marketing difference.

You can take aged Kentucky bourbon over to the UK, but you couldn’t bottle is as bourbon, that’s how stupid this distinction is.

Found the American.

It’s all Whiskey, it having to be made in the USA is the only distinction of it being Bourbon.

There’s plenty of Whiskeys, Ryes and Corn Whiskeys that blow Bourbon out of the water.

Businesses have been sued out of business before. Not QUITE what you mean, but the ends still the same.
