You can also use the battery as a portable generator once you reach your destination

Jesus fucking Christ people, the coronavirus isn’t going to end the world.. It’s less dangerous than the flu. Just get on with your lives, and try to spend less time on cable news.

Man worried about recession causes recession. 

I think 2nd gear is the bigger of the stories here. With the sale of the Rayong plant, GM is essentially giving up on SE Asia, which has one of the largest growth opportunities as half a billion people move into the middle class. Holden is a sad demise, but it impacts a market of ~30 million people, which is peanuts…

I have to believe that 75% of boats like that are an effort to evade taxes. Buy it on your business’ behalf to ‘take clients out,’ use the expenses/depreciation to lower your taxable income/profit and ayyy you got a place for you and your buddies to party and bang your mistresses.

The knob in my Golf TDI is like that. I point it straight up and then adjust the volume with the buttons on the steering wheel. The problem is, it detentes to juuuuuust left or or right of straight vertical so it’s always at least a little annoying. Also when my wife drives she just adjusts it to whatever she wants…

Coal and oil people aren’t nearly a stupid as you make them out to be. they just get into the electric infrastructure business. Oh wait they already are.

I had a Westfield. With Ohlins coilovers, IRS, AP brakes, and a hot Kent crossflow. It wasnt as batshit as this, but it was in the bubble.

All the paperwork from the dealership which was provided by Tesla indicated those features. For Tesla to remove them without notifying anyone after they’d already sold it to the dealership as having them is totally wrong. 

I see Tesla is now doing with their cars what I used to do with my Bumble profiles. See, I’m not technically lying — you see, I used to be a chiseled, rippling mass of 6'4" muscle.

Jesus christ. Me and 2 of my kids are over 6' tall. Fuck off with your hipster disdain for SUV’s. Not everyone fits in a Honda Fit sport.

I don’t have to duck. My commute is an hour each way and I have never been uncomfortable.

I always enjoy the idea that “hipsters” are disdainful of SUVs. The big problem with SUVs is the size and weight magnifies the sloppy and assholish behaviors that even the best driver has, which is aggravated by the fact most people can’t drive the fucking things. 

I’m over 6' tall, and ~270 lbs. I carpool to work with guys in the back of a Focus and an old CTS. Its tighter, but I still fit.

Being over Six foot myself, I can tell you it’s not your vertical dimension that is the problem...

One of my friends is 6'5 and 225 and he fits fine in his 3 series and his Tesla model s. I dont believe you in other words.

And yet you seemed to fit very comfortably in a 2-D pane of glass with a couple other people, Zod. Get over it.

“Then we have a wagon full of phones that I’m paying an old German man to carry around the city along our escape route. The police will see solid red. We can walk right down the street in broad daylight.”

EVs get greener the longer they are on the road. Electricity generation is phasing Coal out with Nat Gas, both of those are being displaced by Wind and Solar, both of which have made up the majority of new generation coming online worldwide the last few years. 

Environmentally friendly is a “relative term”. Nothing can ever be 100% environmentally friendly, it is impossible. But you can be more environmentally friendly than what you have now.
