Thanks for the info. This is part of the problem: “cause they don’t want to lose new car sales.” Nissan can sort of jerk us around at their whim because we have no capacity to be independent from them when we buy into these vehicles and their proprietary technology. Maybe some aftermarket company will make a 50kWh…

My Nissan Leaf warranty only protects me against the battery’s loss of “power” output, which is essentially a measure of the rate at which the battery can be discharged, and not against loss of capacity, which translates to useful range. Unless Zero has something remarkably better than Nissan as far as battery…

1. Cost of replacement battery pack.

I have only ever charged my car away from home a couple of times, and it was for novelty’s sake. I cannot even detect the cost of charging my car in my monthly electric bill. It is small. Honestly, the real killer is the diminishing range issue and not much else.

I try and share my hard-earned knowledge about electric cars, of which I have been driving one for the last 4 years, every time an article like this comes out.

with almost a billion dollars you would DRIVE?

when that robot actually generates the concept "I Am" THEN we should worry.

Oil is not sold under lemonade-stand economics.

forgot the “hard-soft” rule of fighting. To wit: when you hit a soft spot, use something hard. when you hit a hard spot, use something soft. (elbow to gut, palm to head, etc).

how useful is it to know it is 600 yards to the turn? who the hell knows what 600 yards looks like?

I already have a hi-res, wide-angle, full-color “heads up” display in all my helmets:

because ‘Murcans can’t get these (yet):

Seems to me that whatever fix they install will do something to the performance and mileage which were the point of buying the TDI in the first place. If this kind of fix is functional/satisfactory from a performance/efficiency perspective, one might wonder why it was not part of the car in the first place. Owners…

It’s a crime. Straight up. Jail. Banned from racing.

Spacetime. Give everyone, including yourself, lots of it.

no comparison. the vmax is a beast. the 'Rods are not nor are they meant to be. they were an experiment. the moco wasn't sure how they were gonna deal with emissions and noise standards, and they used the public to test out water cooling and to see if HD Bikermen would buy a bike without that certain sound. Hint: they…

air-cooling.

yeah. there are certain ...limitations...

Actually, one of the best things about Harleys is that you can take your girl with you. You don't wanna do that on your Panigale. So, there's that.

I did_not_know Tupac always wore a seatbelt. Thanks.
