Silk Cut Jaguar says, “Am I a joke to you?”

You were *this close* to taking that pun to the next level with some kreative spelling...

For some reason, the “boat on the roof” bit literally made me LOL. Almost choked on my water.

Watch the only major change be the addition of a few colors to the light show on the hotel facade...

So you can bet someone in Silicon Valley is already working on it...

I thought for sure this would be a Florida, Texas, or Michigan Man story. Regardless of location, this is...well, sad still doesn’t quite describe it...

Just wait until they introduce haptic feedback pedals...

Florida: “Am I a joke to you? Wait, don’t answer that.”

I’m from Michigan, so it’s my sworn duty to also not approve of Ohio.

To be fair, what you described is basically most of the upper Midwest (source: life-long Michigan resident). 

Honestly, I’m rather pleasantly surprised that they included so many technical details about the actual drivetrain. Normally they just say “car quick to 60 mph, goes far on a charge,” and that’s it. Smartphone makers usually dish out technical specs more readily than Tesla does.

Kinda defeats the purpose of having over 1000hp and absurd 0-60 times though doesn’t it?

Chinese automaker NIO is making them work. I don’t know anything about how they integrate heating/cooling into their swappable packs, but they’re doing something to make it work. Also, going through the trouble of engineering swappable batteries just so they can be changed once every decade or 2 in a used car seems…

Unfortunately, once all automakers are doing it, you won’t have a choice. For example, a smartphone with a keyboard is 1,000,000% better than almost anything available today, for the simple fact that even after years of development, autocorrect is still, really, REALLY stupid; and predictive text is about as reliable…

The Blancpain Series (is it still called that? It’s been a few years since I’ve watched) seems to do just fine splitting classes solely by driver skill level.

They might be exciting if they were (much, MUCH) faster. At least with Formula E you can hear the tires screeching, so the cars sound like they’re doing SOMETHING (and the motors are also loud enough to hear, but are so hideous to listen to I actually do wish they were silent). In these boats you won’t hear a sound…

Because it’s an EV. That’s why. There’s no reason EVs need to be uglier and with worse user interfaces than their combustion-powered counterparts, but automakers keep making them that way (and are also letting the design school rejects design more of their “traditional” cars too (looking at you, BMW)).

I’ll be going to both Belle Isle IndyCar races. Usually I only go to the Saturday race.

For me the most interesting part of an ocean liner (or any vehicle) are the engines. If they could at least save one boiler and one turbine for a museum, I’d be content with that. Even that would probably be difficult since they’ve probably been sitting in salt water in flooded engine rooms for decades now, not to…

Not even a dry dock, maybe just a structure underneath where it currently floats that can hold some of its weight while its buoyancy does the rest of the work.
