According to this Wikipedia list, if we exclude everything built after 2001, the Trump World Tower would be #6 just in NYC (after the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, 70 Pine St, 40 Wall St, and Citigroup Center). But it does note that the Trump Tower was the tallest residential building in the world from 2000-2003, a ranking that would not have been affected by the fall of the WTC.

I doubt it. Mexico doesn't adhere to NHTSA FMVSS standards, unlike Canada and the US. This is why Mexico has foreign brands like Renault, Peugeot, MG, etc that the rest of North America* doesn't get. Mexico also continued to sell the 1990 version of the Tsuru (Sentra/Sunny) in base, no airbags until 2017, which wouldn't have been legal in the US past 1998.

I agree the lack of liquid cooling on Leaves is problematic - I see their batteries die much sooner, often under 10 years. But it's fine if you don't live in a hot climate.

They also replaced the batteries on every 2017-2020 Bolt between roughly 2022-24 with warranties until 2032. So by buying a used one now, you get a car with a battery that's only 2-4 years old, not 6-9 years old. That alone makes them worth it.

It's a known phenomenon called revenge bedtime procrastination

The first two generations of the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Bolt are the closest to what you're describing.

And Cloudflare protection on it as well, that surprised me

PHEVs accomplish exactly this. It's good to hear that people are actually mostly charging their PHEVs according to this recent Toyota study.

You need a lot of money for incentives. The bigger factor is large scale adoption among the corporate apps that others use (their privacy policies notwithstanding), which I realistically see never happening for Graphene, sadly. Sideloading is a decent alternative, I just don't know how long it'll be around for.

They waddle or swim! They used to drive until the Heard and McDonald Islands got tariffed :/

Have you considered getting a large external battery? My 2015 T450s on Fedora still gets 6-10h battery life with 97Wh between the two batteries. Mostly stock with a repasted CPU 6 years ago (probably needs to be done again) and an M.2 2242 as the boot drive, with a 2.5" SSD as the D: drive.

Isn't there a Foreign Earned Income Exemption (FEIE) up to $130k that many US expats qualify for? Specifically:

A U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident alien who is physically present in a foreign country or countries for at least 330 full days during any period of 12 consecutive months.
