There’s always another Chadwick that thinks no one else matters.

Fuck these guys. 103 mph on public roads is largely irresponsible, let alone 193 mph. Fuck them to hell and back. I hope that when they do eventually careen off of the road in a 2 ton fireball that they don’t take anyone else out with them.

Didn’t even wait for the pictures to load. Didn’t yet read the article. Saw the headline, scrolled as fast as I could to the CP button.

Feds not so much? Have you been paying attention for the last 40 years (probably longer, but I'm keeping to just the corruption in my lifetime)?

“culture of corruption among senior leadership.”

I was talking about Congress and lobbyists, not the folks the Dipshit-in-Chief chose to surround himself with.  I know Torch would make better choices.

Dude, do you know how much Zora wanted a mid engined Vette? There are mid engined concepts that are greater than 50 years old.

Why would I want to rely on an expensive and complicated suite of software and sensors to address issues created by piss poor design?

You don’t hear them complain, because the cost is hidden in their utility bills. More weight, is more energy, more cost, and lower efficiency. That’s just basic physics. If you want to argue that, you can piss off. I’m not going to continue to convince a Tesla fanboy they Newton's Laws are, in fact, valid.

I wouldn't want to subject Torch to that kind of torturous shitstorm.  He's too good to be forced to surround himself with such awful people.

The larger, heavier Tesla can go faster and farther than the lighter one because it has bigger motors and more energy storage, much in the same way that a 15 mpg truck with a 6.2L V8 with dual 20 gallon tanks will out accelerate, and have longer range, than a 30mpg econobox with a 12 gallon tank.

I’ve worked out of a truck for a decade. This has several things working against it being an effective tool.

Is this trolling? Are you being sarcastic?

Every vehicle loses capacity and faces efficiency losses when heavier, gas, diesel, battery, or Mr. Fusion powered.

I think that a structure folded for stiffness will always outperform a flat piece of similar weight.  If auto manufacturers could simply go thicker to save money and get better performance, they would, but there's 100+ years of R&D that would suggest otherwise.

The doors are not stressed members.  There is zero practical reason for them to be that heavy.

Thank you, kind sir or madam.  May the wind forever be at your back.

Perhaps he is an enginARRR!

Fuck all these motherfuckers.

This, 100%.  If this isn't the end fucking goal here, I'll eat my damn hat.
