Alexander rode the same horse from Macedonia to Pakistan. Everything Alexander did, he did on that horse. If not for the horse, no Alexander.

Definitely interested in that Pioneer Sphera! Would be perfect for my ’07 Silverado with speaker upgrades of course 👍

Sounds like a bunch of hype. Tesla has been working on Level 4 autonomy for a while, and now this company claims they can do it right out of the gate… sure, buddy

I don’t believe in that donut lab battery. It’s got to be a scam.

It’s not if it’s releasing in a consumer grade motorcycle

@linusmlgtips2123 That motorcycle company that has connections to Donut Lab? Yeah, it’s not like they can lie.

The Donut lab was the biggest at CES by far if it’s real.
Looks pretty legit too but we’ll find out for sure in a few weeks since they are “Being produced right now”.
