Yep, my neighbors just got solar panels installed and a battery storage to charge their electric car. It's not that they're super green or anything, it's that we're in the UK and power has gotten a lot more expensive and the tech is cheaper every year. A few grand now and they'll have nearly free EV running costs for the foreseeable future.

The decently priced ones have year long waiting lists here. Can't buy one even if you want to.

Yes but at least Japanese PR stunts are aimed at consumers and not shareholders, so they tend to have better results for employees or customers. Like when that ice cream company had to bump prices and they ran an ad with the CEO and the staff apologising for the inconvenience.

I think I remember reading that they also had a bright red/pink version of it that they had planned to use to do some effects work in post for when it was supposed to be invisible.
So it was like a big angry Mr Blobby running about the jungle.
