The only electric car I’ve seen that does the ‘no grill’ correctly was Porsche’s Mission E, and that’s because the let the hood curve all the way down into the bumper.

Nah you’ll have to manually remove your roof and throw it into traffic like some kind of poor person.

Just do it in reverse and really show ‘em

Recipe for disaster for sure. Surprised the wall was even as close as it was given it is you know - a skid pad where the potential for sliding out is quite high.

1. Increase speed as I’m driving around the oval. Tail remains tucked in.
2. Stab pedal to the floor to get tail out

Drifts are hard, especially maintained over a circle like this. Add in the EV’s lack of sound and learning a whole new drivetrain while going sideways, it was bound to happen. 

After crashing into a wall, it would be a Taycan’t.

All he said is he wasn’t going to burn fossil fuel. He hasn’t. He didn’t say he wasn’t going to do anything that relied on fossil fuel. Just the act of getting electricity from fossil fuel burned in a powerplant where the inefficiencies of ICEs and transporting that fuel is a positive act. Like others have noted here,…

One more tidbit — a good portion of 10 year old cars are not on their original engine or transmissions. Kia/Hyundai are replacing so many motors that there’s a shortage in the US. GM replaces an 8-speed auto every 2 seconds, and Nissan treats the CVT like a consumable.

70k number was something I saw related to electric cars, I am trying to find it. When I do I’ll gladly share it.

I did verify - https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/california-electricity-data/2019-total-system-electric-generation

Nuclear is 8.06%
Hydroelectric is 16.53%
Neither of those are considered “renewable” which is why I said non-fossil fuel.

California’s renewables include biomass at 2.92%, geothermal at…

The only person asserting it is the magic glitter pony of the transpo world is you. I brlive the kids call that a strawman. Everyone else is saying it’s developed into a nice alternativefor many people that will only get better over time.

California’s electricity grid is well over 50% fossil fuel free.

I’d love to see your math on the 70k+ number. It’s not even close to true.

Cost to mine for battery materials is a one-time expense, but what is the cost to extract hundreds of billions of barrels of crude every year?

I don’t get the hate on those things. Of all the dumb things enthusiasts do this is the most benign 

As long as the protection doesn’t interfere with function and safety, who cares? That means people who love used cars could get something even closer to new later on. 

Don’t discount the values time zones and primary languages being similar to your companies.

Depends on the industry, In IT you don’t get the promotions by buttering up to your boss, you get them by certifications and successful project completions. you market yourself and communicate with your bosses as to giving you those projects or seeing if the company can sponsor a training class for you.

We already do use some devs and designers from places like Romania or Turkey, so it’s already happening - and has been happening for years, it’s nothing new.

Studies have shown the opposite - productivity has actually gone up (here’s a study from HBR) - I know that I’m certainly more productive - not in a working-8-hours-a-day kind of way, which is a relic of the manufacturing era, but in a getting-projects-done kind of way. If you work in the knowledge industry (like so…
