Yeah I wouldn’t have gone to the trouble to write all that if it wasn’t. It’s easy to verify though if you have an iPhone. Since my original comment, I did find a setting hidden in the gallery app settings that enables “use magic eraser in editing settings” which restored my ability to use generative erase locally on nude photos.

I’m talking about Canada actually. Most Zero models have up to ~100 miles in mixed usage riding which is city driving from 40-80km/h in short bursts with occasional bouts of highway at 100km/h. Real life usage always has much less range.

Since commuting on a bike is only feasible for most of North America for only a few months per year, motorcycles in North America are joyride vehicles. Also just for your information, there are many models of motorcycle made by Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, etc. None of them are Harley so I don’t understand what your point is about a low range Harley. Perhaps you misread my comment.

There’s no valid argument in your case. I love EVs. I love my electric dirtbike. I wanted to get an electric motorcycle. The reality is that range and gearing make electric motorcycles unfeasible for the overwhelming majority of North American use cases. Try and be less snarky when arguing about things you have no direct life experience with.

You’ve clearly never ridden a bike so it’s silly for you to try and debate the experience with me. I suggest you actually know something about the things you argue about with strangers online. This conversation is over.

I would reread the comment you’re replying to. No one is claiming to sit on a bike for 4 hours straight.

Many motorcyclists use their bikes for road trips and joyrides. It’s very common to ride for 1.5-2.5 hours non stop between breaks to stretch ones legs.

Road trips are out of the question on an electric motorcycle even if you have a bike that supports fast charging and you live in an area with many fast chargers. With an electric car, you can chill inside a climate controlled cabin while it takes 20ish minutes to charge. There is no such luxury on a bike. Sustained highway speeds drain the battery as there is no gearing. You would need to stop for a 20-30 minute recharge every hour, which is not feasible.

Also if you’re travelling over 60km/h, wind noise drowns out engine noise. And engine noise on modern motorcycles is very quiet. You might be imagining Harley Davidson bikes with the exhaust baffles drilled out and then applying that to all motorcycles.

ICE still makes the most sense for bike form factors. My motorcycle gets almost 400km range on 17L of petrol. My electric dirtbike gets 60km (and full sized electric motorcycles get around 150km).

Batteries in cars truly makes the most sense right now. All my cars have large battery packs (despite them not being full ev). I can’t justify a full ICE car when hybrids are cheaper to run and more efficient. If I could afford an EV, I’d swap my plugin hybrid immediately.

You want to know what’s bullshit? If you have an iPhone, go ahead and turn on airplane mode. Take a nude (or download one from the Internet). Now try using the background cut out feature (the one that grabs the subject and makes a transparent .PNG for stickers). You can’t. The iPhone processes nudes on-device and won’t let you edit them.

My Samsung S25 Ultra did not have this restriction so I was able to object erase on images with nude adults in them. That was, until OneUI 8.5 (latest software update). Now, all those features don’t work when you try it on a nude subject. It gives you an error message: “Cannot process this kind of media”.

A gooner’s dillema? Sure, but as of right now, both android and iOS actively prevent you from using your device by taking away working features under the guise of child protection. Can’t even have tasteful nudes of your wife anymore. Linux phone when.
