Why does everything GM does now feel like it would have been cool if they brought it to market 6 years ago.

More electric performance cars = better. But Tesla sure has a huge head start when it comes to practical electric cars on the road.

Still, BMW car buyers don’t buy cars. They buy BMWs. Putting them in absurdly fast electric cars instead of fuming the atmosphere with CO2 is a good start.

The real question is, how…

If it means I can have a $25,000 Tesla hot hatch...

Elon Musk must have gotten his prototype working.

Cooling is a traditional engineering challenge. In this case, the power can be preloaded into a supercap for the fast discharge stuff, and recharge during lower draw. So that offloads a lot of the cooling problem from the batteries. Supercaps don’t have *that* cooling problem.

Ultimately, we need less firebally…

And to think Benadryl just made me take naps in high school chemistry.

Looks like Subaru finally updated the 2012 Outback.

And like that ><!, the era of pointless, ridiculous hot rod electric cars was ignited.

Basically this just proves that making a 700hp (with probably 700 lb/ft of torque from near zero RPM) production model is largely an issue of ordering motors off a web site now that they’ve solved the power delivery problem.

The only thing really surprising about this is that it was spotted in Sherman Oaks and not Beverly Hills/Westside LA. 

Delorean made crap cars no one wanted in the end. I’ve only test driven a fully kitted out Model 3 that was owned by a septuagenarian ex-military pilot lending to a local utilities event.

Teslas are transcendent. I don’t like the company, but if I buy an electric car from another company, Tesla sets the standard I…

I remember.

I just realized what replacing ICE with EVs means for racing. It means the possibility of the return of suburban motocross courses that disappeared over a generation ago over noise complaints. And motocross with cars which never was popular in the US, becomes a lot more possible.

It means all kinds of race tracks…

I guess Ford wasn’t using that grill anymore now that they killed the Focus ST in the US.

There are a lot of Home Depots in Mexico along/near the border. I don’t think they need to buy used NASCAR blades :)

Kinda hard to get excited about new gas cars these days. That aren’t really anything to get excited about.

Waiting for that first electric AWD hot hatch in the US to replace my current aging hot hatch. This is what we get instead.

Wait until you guys find out about the PT Cruiser cults where people spend truly unreasonable amounts of money on the cars, and insist that PT Cruisers are “Classic Cars”. We have a bunch of those people in Washington state.

I would be buying one eventually if it wasn’t from Volkswagen. Is anyone else coming out with an electric hot hatch?

Basically NASCAR is saying “Alla y’all need big saws to cut off your crap parts fast in the pits and get out of there. Staying in the pits looks bad on TV. Giant saws look great on TV.”
