Where are the range numbers coming from? Europe? And their efficiency numbers sound great, and yet Tesla is already killing every EV on the market by a wide margin on kw-per-mile stats, I doubt they can substantially leapfrog Tesla out of the gate.

Ripping on Tesla for making better batteries is stupid. Even if Lucid…

Well, he does much better than your constant prayers for Tesla to fail.

You are soooooooo pathetic.

Trump has that sociopathic gift to read people that he can use. Almost all executives have this ability (I won’t call Trump successful, but he possesses that skill). 

Well, you’re an enormous asshole. Also, you could run over some bicyclists. That would distinguish you from people that give a shit about the world.

Most driving is local. You have that backwards.

Shit range PHEVs is a legacy of lame ICE strap-on designs. PHEV / EV from ground up should be a minimum of 60 miles, especially with battery advancements.

That 22 mile range bullshit is just lazy engineering

Just eliminate the frunk from the EV

The rational bet, probably around a stock price of 500 or MAYBE 1000 was that Tesla will be a very heavily vertically integrated company, make their own batteries with infinite demand from tesla or other car companies that are hopelessly behind, and will be major players in grid storage and perhaps solar.

That’s the…

Isn’t that why there are four engines, for redundancy? Or are you talking about a FLYING shopping cart?

Mesh networking between vehicles. Everyone on this thread is thinking central air traffic control.

There are probably less variables for automation, in fixed route air flight than ground driving. Plane autopilot can land the aircraft now.

As for the danger of emergency exits, well, people don’t seem to care about the…

Dictionary: Car: a road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people.

Well, Tesla invalidates the “internal combustion engine”, jeeps (well in their drivers dreams) invalidate “road”. This has four rotors, so that’s kinda like four wheels. And…

Idiot, you take the money, tell security to setup a honeypot. Everyone wins, except the russians.

Technically all arms are fair game to a strict constructionalist.

My conservative neighbors are totally cool with the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons projects I have started to deter interlopers onto my 1/4 acre plot! Right?

Hey FBI/ATF: sarcasm to the extreme. 

You mean the headline where the body of the article directly contradicts it by explaining that Porsche is going to delay model(s)?

What a positive spin! Or is that a payment to read Porsche’s spin? Who knows. Last time I questioned their INTEGRITY I got greyed. 

“However, the Taycan Cross Turismo, an estate version that had an original launch date for the end of the year, will be delayed until 2021 as Porsche attempts to improve its “break-even point”, where it starts to make profits, in the wake of the crisis.”

Douche rankings:
1) Pickups driven by anyone under 40 that live in the suburbs
2) BMW
3) Mustang/Corvette/Demon/etc (see CwC vids)
4) Jeep
5) large SUV drivers in general (Hummer wannabes)
6) WRX

Yeah, not even top 5. 

And does he eat lunch? He can charge while he eats.

GM, FCA, and Toyota are, quite literally, killing people with these positions. Air pollution, and we all know a huge amount of that is ICE cars, kill 100,000 per year by some studies in the US alone, 4 million worldwide, and even if we do 1/10th of that number, that’s 10,000 people per year.

There are 33,000 auto…

Nah, you’d want a liquid thorium nuclear powerplant. No refueling for years.

Well this is slower than the 7:23. And since then there’s been a few... disruptions... in the world.

But sure, be a jaloporon and complain about it.

Certainly this site shouldn’t, especially if it’s slower than 7:23.
