EV battery degradation is barely an issue. It was an issue back when the Nissan Leaf had air cooled batteries. But now that basically the entire industry has switched to liquid cooled batteries, they [Model S] expects only 10% degradation by 200,000 miles. Current gen Model S is 373 mile range, so at 200k you would…

They made it more reliable in the extreme stress case while reducing it’s usefulness in normal use-cases. which is great if you plan to mainly race with it but if you’re planing to daily drive it’s going to suck.

So after reading Audi/Porsche marketing materials, you decided to give them a pass.

Porsche talked all that trash, and then when it came to the most important metric for an EV...it couldn’t beat vehicles 25% of it’s price?! Congrats Porsche...you’ll be the fastest EV alright...from charging station to charging station. Go take several seats!

I’ve been driving a Tesla since July 21 2016.  I’m now on my second Tesla and it’s still the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. It never gets old. It feels like driving a Lamborghini. I’m almost 50 and driving electric is the best and most exciting thing I’ve experienced. I’m never going back to gas. 

Personally, I have never cared for Tesla, but I want this.

You’re “genuinely asking” why people watch football? I’m genuinely asking why people like you bother to “genuinely ask” questions like this all week every week during football season?

Well that’s the way journalism works, you have a hunch or a vague unfounded sense that’s not supported by evidence or reality, and then you go public and launch accusations.

According to Belichick, common courtesy is something to be exploited unless there’s a rule that prohibits him from doing otherwise.

Plus it’s totally the kind of jokey trolling thing they do—set a fast lap in the ‘ring with an HOV OK clean air sticker? Right up their alley. 

So that’s how they broke the record. Carpool lane.

You sweet summer child. 

I struggle to balance “he’s a shit person”, with “he’s an employee who has not been convicted of anything.” The second is objectively true, and the first is subjectively true. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to work while the wheels of allegation and investigation and hopefully justice continue to turn? 

Then you must certainly be in awe of the Chiefs. 

In my many, many years of following the Pats as a (I hope) informed fan, I cannot recall a single time when he’s thrown one of his players under the bus in public.

Most of the old Pats players still hang around the organization or bring people from the organization into where they work. Even guys like Ty Law — whose time in Foxboro ended badly have come back into the fold — speaks well to Belichick’s organizational acumen. Like the Philly guy who talked about the Pat players not…

Exactly. Even with Brown he didn’t say shit. It was all the journalists who lost it.
He really does view football as just a problem to solve (or odds to wager). Which, on one hand, is why he’s probably so ruthless in cutting guys and demanding efficiency (for the best value/odds) but also why he doesn’t take it out on…

I think the other Pittsburgh thing that people keep leaving out is that there weren’t a ton of skill guys that actually liked Ben. Martavis Bryant, LeVeon Bell, Emmanuel Sanders, Josh Harris and Antonio Brown have all taken public shots at Ben. Todd Haley clearly hated him. Sanders has implied that Mike Wallace didn’t…
