You didn’t ask for a sports car. You asked for a reasonably sporty EV.

And before anyone says people will read the numbers, not the bold type:

The numbers are correct, but the highlighted number is not.  The Porsche beat the Tesla in both braking tests.

Is there a typo on the 100-0 braking numbers? Because 306 is less than 313

I now have a great new idea for a video project. 

F it. I’m buying one to mount on the back of my car for the idiots with their high-beams on.

Mine is getting a bit up there in miles and age. Around 135,000 so not a huge amount of miles, but decent. The car started having some issues this year. A small sensor went bad inside a valve for the car’s cabin heater. Impossible to get at without a lift, cost around $800 to fix. The rear tail lights for whatever…

Absolutely. Perfect point? My now 9 year old Chevy Volt. Even now hardly anyone other than Honda offers anything like it. The 2nd Gen Volt is still the best of its kind. And yet they stopped making them.

And yet you seemed to fit very comfortably in a 2-D pane of glass with a couple other people, Zod. Get over it.

This is what happens when you take risks, GM:

GM has taken a bunch of risks. Their problem is when the going gets tough, they fold and cancel. Look at the Fiero. Once they updated it into a decent car, they canceled it. Look at the Solstice. My guess is that the mid-engined vette won’t last too many years like those two other cars because it’s too impractical…

Some of us can’t plug in when we get home

If you don’t have a place to plug your HumveeEV in at night, it’s a pretty good sign you either a) can’t afford one anyway, or b) shouldn’t be driving it where you live. It fits the market perfectly.

ok but that’s the most scripted looking dive I’ve seen outside of Spanish Futbol.

Look at you with your fancy paved driveway.

No, because that’s not what the article says.

Because Orange Man bad.

Bottom line: The U.S. would surely have preferred that Russia stayed within the INF Treaty, but now that it’s gone, it has other strategic threats to worry about. Everything the U.S. does going forward in this space is almost all going to be about China, not Russia.

One could make a pretty good case that Russia—a country that assassinates dissidents abroad, backs regimes that use chemical weapons against civilians, and intentionally bombs hospitals, is the bad actor here. One could also make the case that Russia needs to be punished for violating the treaty, and the U.S. is…

+1 for Technology Connections gif. I saw the opening photo and was like, "That Volt looks familiar." Turns out I'm a bigger nerd than I thought.
