All the technical aspects have been solved, from high-current connectors to trying somehow to keep a very heavy object from “careening across the roadway like a 400kg tombstone blazing like a runaway fireworks display.” Any competent mechanical engineer can solve that problem.

Modern industry is full of examples of…

You could have a legal race track in every county and you wouldn’t eliminate street racing. Each caters to a different culture that only partially overlap.

And I know what you mean about closing racetracks. Texas World Speedway (TWS) was my home track, may she rest in peace.

Great minds think alike.

Because charging is slow, and replacing is fast.

Plus, rapid recharging is more difficult and harder on the cells (I designed the rapid charger for the NEC TalkTime cellphone.) Charging at a slower rate tends to result in more charge-discharge cycles.

Why charge at all. Make the battery packs removable and just drive onto a robot that removes your depleted pack and replaces it with a fully-charged one.  120 seconds later and you have a fully-charged car, ready to go!

We don’t refill our propane bottles for our grills. We just exchange them for full bottles at the…

“One of the potential solutions to street racing is setting up legal and sanctioned events so that people can get speeding safely out of their systems. Events like TK2K19.”

Sorry, but this will have little, if any effect.

For hardcore street racers — the ones who keep this sort of thing going, its a lifestyle, and…

Speaking as a software developer, this smells like someone got hold of a demonstration app and made minimal modifications to turn it onto a commercial app.

Demo code, unless its demonstrating good security, usually has NO security built in. The hard-coding of credentials in plain-text strings in the app is good…

1 - It IS possible for material to get past the screen. It’s fairly common on small block Ford engines with seized oil pumps to find a little steel hockey-puck (about 0.125" in diameter,) stick in the pump. these little bastards were part of the factory cork valve cover gasket and prevented them from being compressed…

Trump is basically your senile grandfather who needs his twitter taken away.

The man is so petty.

Teslas has been available for years. The first Roadster went on sale in 2008, 10 years ago. The Model S was available in 2012, 6 years ago.

I think any “early adopter” enthusiasm likely fizzled out about 5 years ago.

I learned to drive a model T before I learned how to drive a modern car. (Dad had 5 of them.)

It has cruise control and multi-coil ignition.

No, I do it specifically to annoy you.

This is a big reason I don’t watch NASCAR.

Justin Wells is a coward.

The local police complained a few years ago regarding speed traps too. If I remember correctly, Google told them to get bent.

How is this not a First Amendment violation?

Tell that to Kevin Bass, who what t-boned in his Yugo causing it to roll. Kevin’s seatbelt failed (the anchor for the shoulder strap ripped out of the sheetmetal,) causing him to be partially ejected and crushed by the car. Kevin’s now paralyzed from the waist down because Yugo couldn’t be bothered to design a…

“...how could you not see that huge tractor trailer?“

I’ve been restoring Model T’s with my father since I was 5.  We just finished up a 1925 coupe’.
