He says “they aren’t theoretical, they aren’t calculations, we’ve done those numbers” which means it’s not his opinion according to his butt dyno, it’s actual measured numbers and the “conservative” part means they’ve actually documented it going quicker than that.

I think it’s especially funny since all of the big three had huge bailouts to keep them from going under (Ford just got theirs a little earlier than GM and Chrysler). Tesla going into fiscal dire straits would be part for the course for an American auto maker.

Isn’t it great that you get to recycle your prediction from 2007-2008 when you were wrong and try again? 

But well before the Elio ever sees the light of production....

One would have to assume a test driver has, at some point, done instrumented tests or seen the results of tests.

I’m sure the test driver Tesla hired to wring out their up and coming halo supercar had access to a bit more data than his buttdynometer.

Audi and BMW still boast the largest number of assholes and pricks by volume.

so then just roll over and march ourselves into the work camps? fuck that noise.  

With the Pope coming out against the administration’s policies that would be a winnable argument.

I’ve been saying “Iowans better like eating soy and seed corn, because we’re about to have an abundance of it as these tariffs hit hard.” Also, our governor is a Trump enabler and isn’t listening to anyone telling her that tough times are ahead for our farmers because of his trade war. People are already talking about…

I have ZERO sympathy for most farmers.

Aye, I have had to reconsider my purchase of US brand alcohol due to the increase in price. Thanks Trump! Now where will I get my Jim Beam Dark Cherry? I’m stuck with the, admittedly superior, Irish whisky instead.

Yep. Right here in Ohio crops wither and die on the vine because there are no immigrants to pick them. And all that fat white garbage screaming about them thar damn immergints takin’ er jobs are suddenly nowhere to be found.

Once the summer is over and the US farmers are ruined due to Trump’s trade war, there will be big problems in the USA. From a Canadian, you’re definitely in trouble. I see US produce and products just sitting on the shelves, with Canadians refusing to buy American.

A well-designed political system would have a built-in feedback system to ensure that those making the decisions are also subject to the consequences of those decisions

“It is against my religious beliefs to serve assholes”

Congrats to Toyota and Alonso, Buemi and Nakajima.

This is somehow both the most predictable take and the worst one.
