My only concern is that commercial driving business will get hit the hardest. The fair thing is to scale a fee on EV's annually that's more in line with ICE automobiles. Not a easy fix for this one.

Found its spirit animal

Et Tu BMW?

If Mercedes manages to get anywhere close to the estimated range, then the can charge whatever the hell they want for it.

Hahahaha! I can imagine how much you were foaming at the mouth as your epic trigger rant came into existence. It’s hilarious how history is viewed from the losing country’s point of view, it’s fine I don’t hold anything against you. I will keep in mind that God, male genitalia, and defending oneself from tyranny are…

EV’s really shine when commercial duty is taken into account. I drive between 100-200 miles a day and would love to never fill up at a gas station ever again. The best fit for the truck would be law enforcement for the constant cruising around and idling. If Tesla manages to even make a small dent in the pick up…

All that writing on the trunk is the equivalent of a tramp stamp on the Audi

You give modern high impact weaponry too much credit. Those weapons are extremely expensive and in limited quantities, along with being specifically effective in long distance open range combat. To smash an armed uprising, especially if the people are highly intelligent, in close quarters combat, the tyranny would…

This is the product I am most excited about. They should leapfrog the 1500 size and go straight to 2500+. I can imagine the battery being at least double the size of the S long range and a ridiculously long range unloaded with a minimum range of 300 miles under full payload. In my neck of the woods he who has the…

A honest truck, completely functional with no lame frills to break along the way. Awesome 👍

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you. Let me explain: in an unarmed society criminals will still find a way to get guns. In Mexico in particular, the criminals firepower is stronger than the civilian police. Crime also pays very well there, so politicians and law enforcement are as corrupt as the criminals. Good…

Yup, then they compounded that money by capitalizing on that initial investment and giving it to the masses, i.e cordless tools, ball point pens, etc. Our world views are different in that I see the best of us cashing in on the opportunity vested by a free capitalist society while the rest make do with the security of…

The government paid the innovators. The innovators then went and capitalized on their innovations after their contract was over, if they had the sense to hustle to get what they thought they were worth. Either way, this is a circular argument so the point of the hyperloop is that it isn't necessarily.

It’s not that because of the federal/ state tax credits would offset the price significantly. It's because only the long range would stand a chance with its range (which is more like 250ish miles EPA cycle), but then is in the same price range as the Tesla model 3. I predict the platform being used as Audi to justify…

Aha! The classic liberal response:”if we do it right” this time. Just wanted to also say that capitalism also the driving force behind ALL INNOVATION, why? Because people want rewards for their efforts. Anyway, back to the issue of high-speed trains, they are not needed, plain and simple. If there was a need then the…

Why are people so set on Mass transit as the future? So far the highest profile high speed train projects have been failures.

N,Numb,b,b,

Current renewable technology is already dealing with the CO2 output and keeping the individual freedom to wander aimlessly in a single vehicle. As far as airplanes, why not make it electric powered? I can see a high power launch pad to get it to high elevation and the on board motors to get it to its destination. All…

Absolutely beautiful! That engine in particular, 790 horsepower all natural, puts all others to shame.

Just a friendly reminder, the United States constitution is a legal document, and as such, can be amended with those amendments becoming part of the said original legal document.
