What an ignorant thing to say. Big oil companies are some of the biggest subsidy whores around. I hope they all go out of business. Oil companies get far, far more tax breaks, subsidies, and such in one year than Tesla will get in all its years of operation.

Low gas prices might hurt electric car sales in the short term, but I think they should actually accelerate electric car adoption in the long term. People are now spending less on gas, regardless of what they're driving. That means more people can be paying down debts or saving. That means more people will be in a…

Isn't that all any minivan ever was? A tall wagon with a flat floor and one or two sliding doors.

No mention of the Hyundai Brat?

Chevy didn't have to buy the door handles from Tesla if those were included in the thousands of patents Tesla opened up for anyone to use.

Looks more like the Chevy Molt, to me. I'm guessing something different will come out from that wrapper.

Maybe we just want the 240z to come back?

I'm for it:

Mazda 787b, of course

Mercedes isn't the only team with the Mercedes power unit. They are still the fastest (around a lap... Williams is fastest in a straight line).

I love it that we sort of KNOW that they were using a hacked traction control but we still really have no idea how they did it.

FALSE: Mercedes is the NASA of cheating. They have the fastest car and haven't gotten caught.

You already mentioned the incentive to win... the lot of focus on the pointy end of the grid... that means every square inch of advertising space is more valuable and gets the team more money. The "prize" is more advertising income from team sponsors.

A simple solution would be to evenly split all the income from selling the television/internet rights (like the NFL does in America)... regardless of the position of the team... and maybe make some sort of equalizer like the NFL does in letting the last finishing teams get first pick in the draft... give the last…

In the UK they've had "cyclecar" rules since WWII. We're just behind the times.

Since it is on Elio's blog and they are lobbying states to change laws about "Fully enclosed motorcycles complete with a roll cage and side impact reinforcement", it probably does not apply to traditional motorcycles. Elio doesn't care about those.

Noise is energy. It takes kilowatts of power to create those volumes you need earplugs for from hundreds of feet away.

I looked up the numbers. A whopping 7% of USA residents 21 years old or older would have to wear a helmet in the Elio. As of today. That number has been trending down.

Did you even look into the helmet laws thing?
