I’m going to partly agree with you. I’m convinced electric drivelines will dominate. What I will disagree with is what I think is your thought that batteries will be the energy storage device of choice.

Shouldn’t we be talking about racING?

Yeah, but NHRA don’t have to turn left. Only white people are good at turning left over and over and over and over and over and over........

Jalopnik bloggers commenting on politics is a bad omen for Jalopnik. Please keep your politics, whether they be gun-toting bible thumping GOP, or socialist in liberal clothing tax and spend Democrat. I come here to escape the shit show in the real world, not listen to some wind bag that may or may not be a decent…

To be fair it was a self driving Lexus. I don’t know how competent you expect it to be.

if you measure a use of 222 kg/co2 at the appliance, the car in this case, that means the power plant produced 444 kg/co2 because the loss to transmission is estimated at around 50% of the electricity generated.

Actually they were spot on. If they wanted to test the total emissions equivalent then they should include everything. If the Tesla is leaking electrons then that amounts to zero miles pers whatever unit while parked. That energy still has to be resupplied, so the coal power plants still have to produce the…

The only detail missing from this otherwise incredible story is that the two knuckle heads were in fact stoned with the munchies. If that comes to be the case, this damn sure better end up being an afterschool special on Comedy Central.

I’d say they’re more of a sitting around in Panera or Starbucks sniffing their own farts kind of pretentious.

You must drive a VW. Only you people can be so full of noxious hot air.

Seriously? I’m still in the grey?

The Nissan Crosscabriolet better watch out....

Dang, you’re right. I got nothing then. Maybe whatever the Chinese word for being in debt up to our asses, since we will be, and probably to China to build it.

How about Wraith? Not the car though.

It goes out the back. Probably. :P

You’re a little light on that profit margin thing. You gotta consider that they make money a few different ways on each unit. There is the sales profit that shows very little, there is the profit they pay themselves for manufacturing, the fee they charge themselves for transportation, the profit from financing, even…

Maybe since you’re a blogger you just don’t get paid very well. You know, because you’re a blogger. And anyone can do that from their grandma’s basement.

You assume we could put rounds on target as soon as they open up. If we knew they were planning an attack and were ready to go, sure, we could blast them into oblivion. But that’s not the situation on the ground. With the exception of a few quick response units of US and ROK forces, it’s going to take some time to…

After the first strike, yes, you’re probably right. But you have to consider that US forces will need time to respond to a first strike. For the 2ID or 8th Army, that’s only a matter of hours to be fully combat ready. There are quick response units ready in under an hour. ROK units are on constant alert, and we…

Agreed. Iv’e sat through torturous meetings at my company listening to sales and engineering arguing about the correlation between customer impressions about ride quality and the number of spot welds in the unibody to know that it isn’t always marketing or sales causing the issues. some of those folks actually care…
