People expecting new technology to be perfect from the outset are just stupid and do not understand progress or problem solving.

Training neural networks is like training children. And then being able to replicate that training millions of times. It’s new, the number of obstacles already overcome is immense. We’re…

I love manuals. But the 6 speed that I have is the last ICE car I’ll own. All current EVs don’t even have a transmission. But they have optimal torque all the time so don’t need one.

What I do need is an EV AWD hot hatch in the US. My current car is 11 years old.

EVs make manual transmissions moot.

I know he’s a Chevy and Pontiac guy, but Ford should let him take this for a spin.

The Yaris GR would have been an amazing car in 2012 when I bought my Focus ST. Might have bought it instead.

What I want now, is an AWD EV hot hatch. Any kind of hot hatch in the US, seems unlikely. We’re not even getting ID.3s. I think I’m going to be driving my Focus ST for a long time.

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.

Saturday Night Live covered this perfectly when Kal-el landed on a German farm.

Superheroes appoint themselves to solve problems. They rarely join police academies. Or enlist in the army. That’s too slow, and too much work. They are almost universally unaccountable to democratically elected civilian governments.

If…

I used to think this was all because of a time-traveling Roger Stone. And we’re in an alternative history.

Now I’m convinced we’re in the science fiction movie where the President says, “Scientists, what do they know? Always telling me how to run my country.”

We’re in the reality where the president is addressing the…

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. 

I really love my 2 yo Zephyrus with a GTX 1080. I’m disappointed to hear about the cooling issues as my machine is getting long in the tooth for game development purposes and I’d like another thin high performance laptop. 

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.
