They’re all status buys. Some people buy Porsches due to their sportiness, some people buy them because they’re more expensive. Porsche has done well at being seen as being above the other German luxury brands, partially by positioning Audi as equivalent to them.

It’s also missing traditional exhaust pipes. Look the be a sleeper converted to a day cab, which is a logical configuration as the sleeper chassis length provides space for the batteries. That is a diesel starting up, but sounds much smaller, perhaps a range extender, or a smaller displacement engine designed to drive…

The driver pulled off pretty quick, that sticks out in my mind.

For Gawd’s sake please just delete “Tesla-killer” from the Jalopnik vocabulary already. Porsche aren’t going to kill Tesla any more than Tesla are going to kill Porsche. Until any EV car can rival or license the Supercharger technology they aren’t even coming close to Tesla. And when they do Tesla will simply be a…

The Popular Science article says the larger radiator was for water, the smaller one for oil.

Could be for oil cooling.

In my view it’s a little like how tips being used as justification to pay servers below minimum wage is unfair.

It’s true.

This is a very good response.

Take a few minutes onliine and study the thermal efficiency of automobiles vs. power plants.

I’m sick of hearing this argument. The natural conclusion of this argument is “lets not fix anything because we can’t fix it all at once”.

Where do you live that a 220 mile range is used up in a day? That’s a lot of driving.

I’ll also flatly reject the “dangerous” nuclear waste argument. All of the nuclear “waste” we have ever created can be stacked 20 feet high, on a football field.

Since when are facts stupid?

Sure there is

Right, because gas magically appears at a pump. Last time I checked, large amounts of power were involved in the sourcing, production, and transportation of oil. Then, you have the power involved with refining and transportation of gasoline. Then the power that all of the gas stations use to then get it from their…

Serious question: Do people in Tesla’s target market still listen to the FM radio? I thought everything was Spotify/Pandora these days.

Sit down with that dumb attempt at rewriting history.

Absolutely right, my mistake. Doesn’t change much though. The ST is a seriously good car for the price.

It’s slower than a 2013 Ford Focus ST on Willow Springs... So yeah “just a KIA” is kind of fitting.
