They go back to their HQ between every race though, right?  So what does it matter if you are going from Montreal to Milton Keynes to Austin, instead of Montreal to Milton Keynes to Singapore?

The vast majority of team members are not paid fairly well at all. If you’re a mechanic, or lower-level engineer, you are being paid far less than you’d get if you were an engineer in a more traditional field.

Sure would be nice if the lower level positions banded together to unionize (or whatever similar option is available at their main location) for higher pay, better conditions and such.

I’m not saying it has to be flashy. I’m just saying that their styling now is either bland or flat out bad.

The interior, powertrain, and suspension tuning choices of the last 5 years have certainly chased me away from the brand.

Sure, it’s a shit design, but I see no struggling.  All the talk of struggling is from people that have never offroaded before.

There’s some real nice pellet guns out there that’ll shoot a .25 pellet (roughly 43 grains) over 1,000 fps. Getting you almost to 100 ft-lbs.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, the mass means decidedly less. Velocity is squared, mass is not.

Plus, they are acting like speed is everything. 9mm has roughly the same velocity as .22 short (1155 fps vs 1165 fps) but the 9mm has roughly three times the muzzle energy (342 ft-lb vs 87 ft-lb) because the 9mm is so much heavier. They are implying they are equally difficult to stop (and thus make a vehicle bullet…

Subsonic doesn’t mean shit either. It’s all about inertial energy...

So uh... Depending on the arrowhead used, compound bows can have better penetration than 9mm bullets or even .22 bullets...

I agree, the Cybertruck is ugly as fuck.

Maybe because normal tire squealing is drowned out by the vroom vroom noises so the author doesn’t know that’s normal.

For fear of sounding like a Tesla fan boy, where is the struggling? A couple tire squeals? That’s it?

Jalopnik has become FoxNews of automotive disinformation:

From the Teslarati report on the same test:

The pigs in Colorado threw such a fit over us asking them to not just randomlyt kill people that they all but stopped doing traffic duty. Street racers out all night, crazy moving violations anytime i am on the highway, none of it matters.

Good thing they didn’t give him a long term contract then.

why wouldn’t you want to get your next top driver ready for the new regulations?

Obviously a good choice for Merc and Hamilton. While I think Hamilton’s best years are behind him, there certainly isn’t a better drive in the field (or coming up thru the ranks) that would realistically move to Merc. Max ain’t going anywhere, Charles is staying at Ferrari (and I don’t think he’s a better choice) and…
