Ok, I’ll be that guy: that was 0-62mph.

And Quebec, Canada. See 2004-2005 Toyota Echo Hatchback. Canada-only model, not sold in US, most sold in Quebec.

Any chance the guys at “The Tour” (new-old TG) take Elon up on his comment? That would be decent material.

You could have taken this further and said that they don’t “shill” anything to potential space tourists, as it has never been part of their business model.

She did say “holly crap”. And they put it in! woot

The current assumption is that the extra unused buffer would allow owners to charge to 100% all the time and let the car sit for a long time without fear of shortening battery life.

I wonder if we were to check historical prices, this headline should read:

Wait. Wait: this was not in Florida?

That last phrase should start with “Our”...

Audi in the 80's. Toyota and the floor mats. We have seen this time and again. It is always “highly-publicized” because cars are big scary hunks of metal, and we recognize they are dangerous when they inevitably hit something while we were totally not distracted. Or doing anything wrong.

You forget that most EVs charge at home and work. Superchargers are for long-distance travel i.e. trips.

Any idea where they stuck all that rock?

That was the slowest passing maneuver I have ever seen.

Haha, yeah, I was that too (space bound steel plate).

Just like a 1990 sport prototype race in Montreal, but in that case, it was a full, round, manhole cover that came off. It also inspired a Mythbusters episode.

Why does the Gawker-bot think this is a new story? This is years old and sitting on the front page today. You risk losing suspension of disbelief...

Oh no, my work day...

Great for all highway situations, no matter the speed (0 mph to X). And heavy traffic in the city and on two-lane roads (bumper to bumper or moving).

HA! Fair point.

Yeah, once you’ve tasted autopilot, you have it on the minute you get on the highway. That means you may not have your foot close to the throttle to go all <insert race car driver name here> on others at an instant. That might be it.
