I like it. Now some other car maker has to go and make a $35K version of it for the rest of us who can afford to buy something new, but modest.

Interesting to note it’s another 18650 powered vehicle. Those little 2 1/2" long things are in everything big and electric. They could switch any battery technology out as it…

Maybe hope that with Brexit, the British adopt a really favorable to us “free trade” agreement. Which we didn’t have, because we probably didn’t want due to fears of a flood of cheap Eastern European EU goods also coming to the US. US trade policy is weird when it comes to Europe.

I’d assume just in the 6-12 weeks that he couldn’t use a clutch while his leg was on the mend.

I had one of these for 17 years, and it was all fun. This one is nicer than mine: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1998-Firebird-Trans-Am/273793622303?hash=item3fbf5f211f:g:cewAAOSwlS1cpmFk&frcectupt=true

Here are some of my other choices within that budget.

I’ll believe it when I see it happen. So far, every tool they’ve released has been used to ding people I know who are criticizing white supremacists, making it look a whole lot like FB favors white supremacy. While actual white supremacists keep posting their Russian propaganda and racist polemic without their…

Hippie dreams of electrolysis, when refineries can produce hydrogen for next to nothing. That was the ENTIRE intent of a “hydrogen economy”...it was being pushed by fossil fuel interests to stay in the game rather than be forced into eventual extinction.

Or, y’know BATTERIES. Those are a real good way of storing excess energy from renewables. Advantage: electricity stays electricity. Lots of talk of these systems going on, very little about hydrogen which is multiple levels of additional pain in the ass.

What are you talking about? You can set up huge solar arrays that fit into the back of an Outback in the middle of nowhere. You can’t set up a hydrogen manufacturing plant, that you can use to fill its tank.

You can have a battery tanker. And it can power a whole rural town until the next battery tanker. Or fill up a…

It was always inevitable. The price, size and power of batteries needed to power cars was always coming down. If you draw a graph, you can see that the price, size and weight go down continually for batteries over time. The only advantage hydrogen had at one time, was range. And we can see that advantage eroding.

Hydro…

I think people would get over the heresy if it could accelerate like a Tesla Model S P100D in Ludicrous Mode. Which accelerates 0-60 faster than any Mustang, EVER. Or any muscle car on the market. And I think it’s 1/4 mile record is close to the Challenger Demon.

When a company like Ford says “Mustang” and “Electric”…

Love my Focus ST after driving it since new for 6 1/2 years. I’d totally get another Ford if they made something like an affordable electric Crosstrek.

Me. In AWD please.

I beg to differ on that. Every year there is a brand new crop of 45 year olds that put off a dream until their kids moved out.

Younger people buy used Harleys. And they don’t have a lot of money.

And over my life I’ve known people who bought a really nice Harley, but had a 20 year old beat to shit pickup as their…

verywhere I go I get compliments on this non-Harley bike that looks like Harley should have made it. It’s an E-Lux BTW and I couldn’t ride our up/down/up/down hilly area without the electric assist. Totally doesn’t fit on bus racks.

I know a UE4 developers with 1080 cards of one sort or another. They aren’t all upgrading to RTX cards. It’s a chicken/egg problem when you want thousands of developers to write games for your new card, but you don’t want to give away thousands of RTX cards to developers who don’t really feel like springing for new…

Relevant to my interests since my studio laptop has a 1080 GTX. My not very old studio laptop. I’m working with complex lit scenes in UE4. I was a little concerned that I was going to have to do an external GPU to develop for the 20 series.

I’ll take a slightly lower frame rate for now for development purposes. It…

Tesla owners are baffled by it and expect it to be fixed in an upgrade.

I can’t afford it. But I know people with multiple Harleys in their garage who might be the market. They have the touring bike, the cruiser and sometimes a Buell or Sportster. They have enough money for this kind of thing.

At least it’s quick. Maybe not the quickest. But it’s quickness to price ratio is better than…

The $79 Seattle to LA flight I just booked would have cost $12.19 in 1970 according the the inflation calculator I just used. $9.73 in 1964.

Which might explain why taking a plane now is more like taking a bus, than like taking a luxurious smoke filled flight with bad TV dinners, more leg room and a movie you already…

I’ll sum it up. With two 6 foot people and a full tank, the ass would hang out. Neutral no power, and on power. So the balance didn’t seem to work out like it did on paper. It was a major expectation failure. Or it’s own brand of fun, depending on whether you got it’s braking/acceleration timing in turns right…
