I was excited about it as well… in 2021. They’re never going to build these and if/when they do, it will bomb hard. It has become way too expensive and there are cheaper real electric cars now. There isn’t a market for these overpriced quads anymore. Only ones going to drive these are those with a death wish.
subsonic ammo is a thing, esp. for suppressed firearms - that way you never get a crack, and only hear the mechanical action of the assemblies reciprocating.

White Trees: “Give us some!”
Mushroom: “Make me!”
