Good god. There are a couple of good ways to apply the ‘transmission’ model to performance EVs, but this (as described isn’t it).

Just allow for ‘shifting’ which adjusts throttle response curve and regenerative braking percentages. Lower ‘gears’ have higher regen and faster throttle response, higher has lower regen…

I like the Rock. I think he’s a great actor. Having said that, this movie was (is?) bad. I turned it off after 15 minutes. 

At what point do remaining twitter employees start taking some responsibility for the increase in hate speech on the platform?

Or are they just following orders?

What the ever-living-fuck? Sure, the kid sounds like he’s got some very serious psychological issues, but charging him as an adult doesn’t/won’t fix that. Whose gun did he have access to / get ahold of? I know it’s Wisconsin, but if people knew enough to know this kid needed to be watched, they probably should have…

We’re talking about the same movie, right? Dances with Smurfs?

Technically it’s stunning, and it’s been the best use of 3d to date. Story though....it’s been done way to much and is still a white savior story.

Did we work at the same ‘start-up’?

750 i4s have always had enough torque for stoplight to stoplight fun. It’s definitely a cost and packaging issue.

600 i4s require ringing the snot out of them to have fun (and that can be fun in and of itself), but the i4 750s have always been a sweet spot. Plenty of torque, but amazing hp for their weight and size.

Co…

For the people saying “Just don’t buy it,” if all the dealers are doing this, it removes the ability to buy at the price GM has marketed the car at. If the cars don’t sell, GM won’t make more, and the whole thing goes to shit.

Just let us order direct from the manufacturer and pick the delivery/service provider. 

1991 Audi Avus:

The sales of OTC meds are not protected by HIPAA. Additionally, there are two data sellers when a CC is used. Both the retailer, and the cc company can potentially have SKU level data to associate with the buyer. 

Oh I have none. I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Having said that, the performance numbers aren’t too far out of line with what’s possible in a pickup sized vehicle. Doing at that price point is what’s likely to fail. That’s where the deposit comes in. While I don’t think they can meet that price,…

The only thing that kept Tesla continuously profitable is their carbon credit selling. 

So I put my $100 in when this thing was first announced. It’s ugly as sin, but at the time (hell, even now) the supposed specs are a hell of a deal: 500 mile range, 0-60 in under 3 seconds, room for 5 adults, a 6.5' bed, and a price under $60k for that. For $100 bucks, it was worth it to hold a place in line should it…

Vehicle weights keep going up. A disproportionate change in death and crash stats like that cannot be put at speed, distraction, and drunk driving alone.

At least breeder reactors actually exist. It’s just the damn fear of nuclear proliferation that stops it from being implemented. The Sstar reactors might be a few years out - if anyone bothers to invest in them. I’m curious what the cost of a breeder reactor is vs traditional nuclear plants. 

Wow, someone’s butt hurt.

Cagiva =/= MV Agusta. It was a brand all by itself long before being purchased by the Castiglioni brothers, under the Cagiva banner. Cagiva was the parent company, and did the design work across brands using the same team. 

You’re close. The Castiglioni brothers owned both Cagiva and Ducati, with Ducati under Cagiva, up until they sold Ducati to Texas Pacific Group in ‘98. The sale was due to the costs incurred through Cagiva’s GP efforts, and the development of what would become the MV Agusta F4 (penned by the designer of the Ducati 916)…

Oh, hi. I see you haven’t noticed the lack of progress by Subaru since the 2005 STi.
