Well they already throw people in jail for failing to pay it, so it’s basically the same thing.

This is the most self defeating bullshit I have ever seen.

Leave it to America to reinvent debt slavery for the 21st Century.

Remember that back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, vinyl interiors *were* considered an upgrade. Original TV commercials for the 1965 Mustang extolled the availability of vinyl interiors, and many other brands/models similarly marketed it.

My dumb self didn’t take a picture but it was extremely close to this.

COTD.

Here is a vehicle that will make 5000 horsepower all day long. Sadly it is “track only”.

It will be interesting to see how it compares with the Model S, as it has plenty of problems on track. But, with twice as much battery (200 kWh vs 100 kWh), you will end up with 1/4 the heat being generated in the battery pack (heat is resistance* current squared, and the big pack cuts the current per cell in half),…

in my P100D, each quarter mile run takes about 1 - 2% of the battery. It’s really not an issue.

also, each quarter mile pass only uses about 1.5% of the battery .. probably similar to how much of a tank of gas the Porsche uses.

i own a P100D. i can do launches all day long, no problem. as many passes or more than any 911 Turbo S. The “prepping the battery pack” only gets you one tenth of a second. even without that, it still stomps the 911 easily. over and over again.

I agree.

I wonder if this “roadster” is capable of being driven hard for multiple laps on a track? Cooling of the batteries and other components would be challenging under those conditions. We already know Teslas can do a a handful of repeated sprints, as they get a chance to rest briefly between runs, but to TRULY beat the…

they got three motors now, it shouldn’t be hard to make them run with distinct gear ratio

No one gives a fuck.

Dumb comment is dumb.

Citation needed for poor handling. Jalopnik disagreed when they drove the P85D. It’s one of those things I think people often say and I think they just assume to be true because the car weighs so much.

Unpopular opinion, but I give zero shits about the interior if they deliver on those specs.

If you think it’s cool that you can buy a robot to vacuum your floors for $178, how would you feel if I told you this one mopped too?
