Agreed - I tossed it out as a number that may be more acceptable because it was done previously. The most fuel efficient speed is below that (wind resistance) though it is unique for each vehicle based on the gear ratios of the vehicle. A better number would be 45 MPH, but that would be even less popular.

Agreed. I drove an 87 Chevy Sprint in college that was getting a combine 55 MPG in real world driving.
I am asking honestly ... Wasn’t it a head-on collision? If so, how does one end up in the back seat? Doesn’t that propel you forward?

Your points are completely valid AND environmentally we have run out of time. It sucks, but Jay Inslee’s (Gov of WA) push to eliminate all carbon emissions is also something the whole world needs to be doing. It is something I look forward to and deeply do not as someone with multiple petrol vehicles in the state that…
Oh, don’t worry. These changes will not overwrite the core Windows advantages of having 5 million viruses (according to Symantec) with Chrome OS’s zero. Windows updates will still take at least a half an hour of your time applying every month versus the “background” process that takes no time on Chrome OS.
RDP from your Chromebook to a Windows / XenDesktop / AWS / DaaS system and you will get your wish.
There is a reason Tesla (and most EV cars today) does not have grilles on their cars. It is not adequate for cooling a huge set of batteries because the batteries are not all sitting in front of the grille (that would be a very unbalanced vehicle if they were) and, even if they were, the ambient air temperature is not…
Okay, I recognize I am an idiot for asking this, but this is an EV right? So, what is with the grille? And why the huge hood? Sure, it is a beautiful design, but it looks very ICE-like to me. But, I’m certain I misunderstand something here.
The Del Sol should definitely get more love. It had a reputation as a “girl car” (whatever that means) when new which may have injured sales even more than a two seater would have typically been saddled with - but it was a fantastic little car. Unfortunately, they are very rare and the few examples I see today are…
I’ll be the one with the extremely unpopular but environmentally correct answer:
All great points. Unfortunately these discussions get complicated very quickly when getting into the details, which is why I’m always good with someone just saying “f-it, I just want it easy and sounding good”.
It might not be your hearing. If you are using Bluetooth headphones then lossless is likely a waste to you.
Aw, Poop.
No wait. Really? So, if I can find an Artura owner to race my Fit for pinks with both cars in reverse, I might actually win?
You were commenting on a comment that was focusing on America (“a modern EV will cover 90% of the needs of 90% of Americans right now without a charging network”) on an article written by an American on an American website giving an American perspective. But, if you want to name a different country than the points of…
An imagined quote from the early twentieth century: “America should never adopt these horseless carriages because the roads are not built to accommodate those smoky noisy things and there is no place to fuel and maintain them.”
