Get ready, because that’s all anyone is going to care about once EVs become more common place...

You’re absolutely right, but if you drive a sports car as it’s designed to be driven, EV powertrains aren’t “ideal” for sports cars. If anything I’d say that on balance, they break even with ICE vehicles. They have instant torque, but at the cost of weight (which can be somewhat compensated for with a low CG) and…

The problem is you can’t drive an EV sports car like a sports car for very long before you have to stop for half an hour and recharge it. ICE cars can be flogged for much longer before you have to start thinking about refueling, which itself is just a 5-minute stop before you’re back in action (hopefully legally,…

Impressive 0-60 times does not a sports car make. Dodge keeps turning out Chargers and Challengers built explicitly for the drag strip. I still wouldn’t call those sports cars.

All that will do is upgrade from Velveeta brakes to wooden brakes...

There’s already some usage of compressed natural gas in big Class 8 trucks, which, aside from the obvious fuel delivery differences, operate similarly to gasoline engines, with throttles and spark plugs. Apparently the lack of torque isn’t that big of an issue, because they operate without electrical assistance. Given…

Too bad all the EVs in GT7 (even the ones that don’t weigh as much as a dwarf planet) have brakes made of Velveeta...

No mention on how those yellow intakes look like data ports?

I wonder if they tried shooting at the train.

The fraction that chooses to be cops generally isn’t...

They should drop China too then.

If I had a nickel for every one of those I’ve seen, I’d have enough money to fund my own battery research.

Just as cars with lower centers of gravity generally look better than tall and ungainly ones, it’s the same thing with ships. Ocean liners had such trim lines partially to keep their CG low to allow them to handle stormy seas without capsizing. Cruise ships don’t have to worry as much about storms they might find on…

Make it float AND move on its own, and SAFELY, while being largely self-sufficient.

Same thing with Hyundai/Kia (GMP) and Volvo. Really I can’t think of any new EV that isn’t built on a dedicated EV platform, except maybe one of Merc’s larger crossovers IIRC.

The article itself said this was built on the Ultium platform. This isn’t a converted ICE Equinox; it’s a dedicated EV platform.

The only reason FWD is better than RWD is because the weight of the engine is over the driving wheels in FWD. In EVs where the weight is more evenly distributed, there’s no inherent traction advantage in FWD. 

The ship is apparently missing most of its internals. I wonder if it even has its engines installed. From what I've read this is just a (still very expensive) hulk, and not yet a fully-built ship. So while it would be a waste to scrap this, it's not quite *as* big of a waste as all these click-bait articles about it…

And most forms of energy are technically solar energy.

Is that the bridge that was supposed to be built in 2015?
