Soon you will be able to brag about "fitting the whole gang in your bussy" !

20hp
737lb-ft torque
Sweet Jesus Christ.
That's more torque than a lot of modern muscle cars have. I know electric motors can shit out a lot of torque, but holy fuck.
- The ebussy needs a lot of thrust
  
  Well yeah, it's clearly a size queen. If you can't compete with size, then you need deep, hard thrust.
- It's like a farm tractor.
- Top speed of around 100kph. Not that high, but it will get to that speed right the fuck now.
- The Chevy Spark EV was something like 140hp but 330ft-lbs of torque. It was quite ridiculous and I know a lot of people who absolutely loved it.

Lb-Ft
FFS, just adopt the metric system already. And "lb" is not a force unit. Also don't capitalize unit abbreviations unless named after scientists.
- "pound foot" is the most intuitive name for a unit of force imaginable!
  How much force? One pound of the foot. Easy!
  
  Red Foreman agrees... "one pound of my foot in your ass"
  
  It's one pound per foot you moron!
  /s
  
  Better than "newton-meters" , yeesh. What the hell is a "newton"?
  Actually, what the hell is a "meter"?
  
  It's a derived unit of torque. Pound is already a measure of force.
- Actually pounds are a unit of force
  Pounds~newtons
  Slugs~ kilograms
  
  Pounds are a unit of money. lbf (poundforce) is a misnomer, it’s actually the pressure required to stamp the King’s portrait into a £1 coin. Slightly changes with each monarch – or by a lot whenever they switch to cheaper materials because of devaluation. The frequent redefining of poundforce is now a major consequence of Brexit. /s
- It's confusing, since "pound" is used for both force and mass.
  1 lbm is roughly 0.45 kg
  1 lbf is the force required to accelerate a 1 slug (32.2 lbm) mass 1 ft/s^2.
  
  I know slugs are just snails without shells, but they don't need to go faster
  
  I don't know what the imperial system standards committee was up to, but I've never met a slug that was 32.2 lbm
  
  Lb is force. Mass is Slug in imperial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(unit)
- Mercifully, g=9.8 everywhere on Earth's surface, so we use weight interchangeably with mass, but yes, we should weigh ourselves in Newton: "I need to lose 10kg, so I can reach my ideal weigh of 700N" :P
  
  Mercifully, g=9.8 everywhere on Earth's
  Big nope. It depends not only on height, but also on density of stuff under ground.
- Lb-Ft
  Yeah but what about Cc-Bn?
  (...coconuts-bananas you smucks!) /s
- It's understandable that you don't understand a measurement system you're not familiar with, but us imperials understand it just fine.
  
  Sure. How much does water in a 1ft × 2ft × 3ft aquarium weigh?
  In metric, an equivalent calculation is 30 cm × 60 cm × 90 cm = 3 × 6 × 9 dm^{3 = 162 𝑙 ≡ 162 kg of water, and if you're pedantic, the *weight* is around 1620 N or closer to 1590 N for 𝑔 = 9.8 m·s}-2^. All calculated in my head.
- Cope, seethe, mald.
  
  I'm guessing those are some Imperial units too
- As someone who's all about science and all the things that use metric as it's standard, I understand why us Americans argue for imperial measurements.
  We know them.
  I can general look at something and relatively tell how big it is based on my experience with the imperial system.
  I'm not saying metric isn't better but there's also different languages with some of them being able to express certain emotions or features better than others. Yet you don't see people demanding we all adapt a singular language.
  
  People who grow up almost anywhere else on earth can also tell how big something is based on their experience with metric. That's not something inherently based on the imperial system. The same way you go "oh that's about 3 feet", we go "oh that's about 2 meters".
  And of course, switching systems overnight is insane, people are used to imperial, you're right. But at the very least do what Britain did, and have both systems in parallel at the same time, everywhere. And in time, people would get used to metric too.
  
  We know them.
  And you can't learn new things?
  
  You should start by adopting metric in anything remotely scientific. Like
  voltage ✔️
  current ✔️
  power ❗ - horses are no longer really relevant, not to mention this - at least appliances use watts
  pressure ❌ - we got lucky that 10⁵ pascals is around 1 atmosphere so use Pa or bar, not mmHg or PSI
  BTW, PSI is a dumpster fire of an abbreviation, the correct one is lbf/in²
  
  force ❌ - the lb/lbf confusion is not worth it when we have newtons
  energy ❗ - joules and watt-hours are both fine, calories, electronvolts and TNT-tons less so, but don't use BTU which nobody can really comprehend, or gasoline-gallon-equivalents that nobody knows how to translate to anything else
  gun caliber ✔️
  engine volume ☑ (it's cm³ or ml, not cc FFS)
  strange that motorcycle and gun enthusiasts are the few users of metric length & volume measurement in the US - too bad that these two measurements are never really used in calculations or conversion
  
  torque ❌ - this post says Lb-Ft which is wrong on so many levels
  data ✔️ - OK but data rates should be abbreviated MB/s or kb/s, not kbps, Kb/s, kbit/s or Mbit
  wire diameter ❌❌ - holy shit, AWG is such a mess - larger wire is smaller number and the formula is so insane that people use lookup tables, also you're afraid of decimal or negative numbers so large wires are 00, 000 etc.
  Can you imagine having different units across the world for voltage or data? Like a 2¾-lemon battery or a 2 million floppy hard drive. That would be absolutely insane.
  There is an awful lot of inconsistency in the imperial system too, like pound being abbreviated lb, P (in PSI) or even £, or miles being mi or M in MPH
  
  "we know them"
  quick, how many barleycorns in a gunthers chain?

Oh, they know exactly what they're doing.
The entire karma train could ride in the eBussy's marketing department.
- And you know that eBussy can fit a lot in its marketing compartment
- They renamed to XBUS years ago, exactly because of the memes.

- You can't just commit war crimes because you're on the Internet
- Of course its an Oregon driver...

Doesn't need to go fast, but it will fucking go HARD.

- Those cheeks were made for clappin'
  
  And that's just what they'll do
  These cheeks were made for clappin.....
  
  Gotta go Fast
  
  truly, why else would they be so voluptuous

I heard of being horny on main, but this is ridiculous.
Alternative joke workshopping: being horny on mains (electricity)

If someone suggests “the eBussy is bussin” as a sales pitch, they should probably be let go immediately.
edit: no, no promotions for that low hanging fruit, whomever came up with eBussy should be tried at the Hague.
- As the other commenter said, you mean promoted.

How can you be in development/marketing and not google the term you are going to name a product beforehand?

The eBussy would be Debussy's favorite vehicle. And speaking of Debussy...

- groceries.

Looks like one of those Soviet loaf vans
- In Russian eBussy sounds like “ебаться” meaning “to fuck”. So, checks out.

You might want to Workshop that name a little bit
- They did: https://www.motortrend.com/news/xbus-modular-electric-van-system/

If you don't know what this is about, don't google the Name of the vehicle at work.
- Actually, neither duckduckgo nor google nor bing nor startpage nor searx yields anything besides XBus formerly known as eBussy for me. So, if this name is somehow funny somewhere in the world, google & co are not helpful.
  
  Bussy aka Boy Pussy is a way of referring to a literal male asshole when you intend to use it for anal sex.
  
  Try it without the "e"

Ayyy bussy lmao

I hear you can fit 5 in the back 🤛

What I like the most about what they're doing is the modular body. I hope that concept catches on and is standardized so I can buy a a Mustang body today and a classic VW van body tomorrow.
- I mean, sure, if you want your Mustang to handle like a classic VW van (and vice-versa 😎).
- Yeah, honestly. If someone could make a repairable, customizable EV, I'd be all over it. Mostly because I don't want massive touch screens or touch-based controls. I want knobs damnit.
- Both a camper and a pick-up or a minivan, yep, I could get used to that! Would just need some more storage space. Or a rental service I guess!
  
  It would really be great to be able to change your vehicle to suit your use. I wonder how difficult changing it is. Need 2 people?

Oh... Oh honey
