On ice I bet 31 horsies are enough to keep everything spinning and grinning...

Just buy American.

So if I understand correctly, Bugatti is making extreme polluting ICE cars and Rimac is making just EVs. So together they can happily coexist without Bugatti getting punished for the emissions of it’s great W16 engine.

Sure Rimac is interesting as a small company (with ‘850' employees) and 3 cars sold or so, but I…

Not sure people buying this car because it has 4 wheel steering.

Ditch the complicated tech, make the car cheaper, compete on price, interior, raw power and decent handling (this isn’t a 2 seat sportscar).

If think what would happen is that China then just says ‘screw you Montenegro ; no more stuff to you and from you (import/export) until the loan is settled’. China has plenty of ways to make sure the contract is enforced.

And let’s be honest the contract has TWO SIDES. If Montenegro signed, then they signed. They want t…

I like Porsches but look at this thing’s profile again:

1800ES > 850R T-5R

It’s actually French. You know, cannotunderstandissimus.

But but but but Range Anxiety!

Anyways in 2007 charging stations were a real problem and 100km range isn’t much.

There are plenty of charging stations now, batteries are better, charge faster, last longer, are cheaper and lighter so basically the offer is BETTER than in 2007 ; the car will drive further with less…

I might be wrong but isn’t 1 billion USD for a 25 mile stretch of highway a little expensive? I’d mean the total stretch of 270 miles would have cost nearly 10 billion USD?

Doesn’t compute.

I would not be surprised if a substantial amount of that 1B USD never made it to the highway (contractors) but is somewhere in the…

That makes 170 hp and isn’t a cool engine to tune. Actually there is hardly room to tune it to more than 160 hp without doing open heart surgery on the engine.

The VW 4-cyl 1.8T engine would make much more sense then.

180 hp ; check
turbo ; check
tuneable ; check
lot of enthusiasts in the VW scene ; check

Guess the bombtruck wasn’t bombproof

If you try to ignore and ban all foreign products then eventually everybody thinks their own cars are the best in the world.

If you create diversity (in workforce and cars on the lot) you open everyone’s eyes and make them think “How can we improve our own cars because this thingy and that option and this color and…

I have a Smart ... SUV.

See how that doesn’t resonates ?

They should keep making small good quality 2 seater Smarts like they did 20 years ago. Electrify them, small engine, nothing special, let Brabus tune them for giggles. Adding batteries under the seats for a nice low CG, maybe make it a bit wider for more stability…

I’ve NEVER seen parking places where ‘domestic’ cars had any preference at all.

Maybe you need a license to park somewhere, maybe they have parking places for VISITORS, but even if you work at BMW you can come and park your Mercedes.

It’s time for a Tesla-Lives-Matter movement.

TLM!
TLM!
TLM!

If you want to play a game, a Trustmaster is fine.

Simracing however is simracing and unless steering wheels in cars use some sort of belt to turn the wheels I’d say direct drive or bust.

Especially for that extremely low price (compared to a DD1).

Trustmaster can throw as many stupid acronyms and what not at you, it is…

It’s car-racism...

They can sell 320s in the US, but if they cannot sell those in many other markets then the development costs will have to be earned back with those fewer 320s sold in the US and then the 320s in the US will quickly become Very Expensive resulting in no sales. In that case it’s better to just ditch the idea of selling…

Nah there is place enough where there are no environmental issues but that ground is often more expensive.

If you think about it ; you want to save the planet, but you don’t mind to cut down a small forest. Those trees actually ARE what is providing us with oxygen. It’s not that Germany is one big forest.
