Yes

I think nobody is actually publishing the torque output numbers for the Tesla’s electric motors. That’s probably the missing piece of information.

Thank you for crunching some more numbers, i’m still researching how Dynos react to Teslas and how to interpret dyno results from them.

yes

But if Teslas don’t use any type of gear reduction (i.e. electric motor directly drives the wheel), that means the power output is constant; at a standstill, the Tesla actually puts a very small amount of torque to the ground compared to a 700hp gasoline car like a Hellcat (which has a first-gear overall torque…

is this power- or traction-limited?

Corruption in action.

Actually happened just recently, over the course of a few days.

Calling it a “joyride” does not lessen the fact that they stole two $70,000 vehicles. That’s grand theft auto, an extremely serious crime.

The thieves were 16, 17 and 19 years old and while the youngest is to be tried in juvenile court, the elder two are unfortunately in jail facing a variety of charges including burglary and receiving stolen property.

Now if only farmers could be treated the same with their tractors and other agricultural equipment (giving you the Death Stare, John Deere)

The rotary is the way of Mazda. As long as they keep some of their R&D budget on pursuing the mythical creature that is a viable, practical rotary, they will have a special place in car peoples’ hearts.

Talking, eating, sharing stories, laughing...

As someone who finds inebriation unpleasant (and alcohol disdainful in taste and effect), sobriety is just the way I am. It takes no effort to not drink, at least for me. Some might consider that a gift or blessing.

I’m convinced the Viper will get better mileage at a constant 75 than the 47-50 that Doug was doing. 

Tire Pressure Light? What is this sorcery?

Define “large amounts.”

It would make the car infinitely more useful if you could distill your own hydrogen at home, which should theoretically just require water and electricity.
