Dear god you are dumb.

Sure the US army has the best capabilities and pilots. You have also spent like 100 times more than anybody else. The Chinese are barely cracking 1/3 of US defense expenditures and the US has trillions of equipment and research in sunk costs.

Yeah exactly, Tesla aren't great at producing cars or at least they don't have a comparative advantage in it. They do have excellent motors and control software and they are pretty good with battery tech. I think the Giga factory could be profitable and again is Tesla making a ballsy move where being first to bet huge…

You seem to have forgotten the complex maintenance procedures and equipment and staff. The secure base to fly off with plenty of ground troops and the enormous command and control apparatus to make it useful.

Or they don't mean business at all. Which is far more likely.

The Crimea is more Russian than Ukrainian arguably. It was part of Russia until 1954 when Khrushchev gave it to Ukraine. Always easier to do when everyone is happily part of the Soviet Union. Becomes an issue when that ends.

You mean this time it's different, yes?

Thank god somebody else gets it. There has been many a false dawn in EV's and the exec inside the big automakers in charge would struggle to get resources. They have heard it all before how EV's are going to change everything.

I think Tesla is seriously over-valued at this stage. The Model S is amazing but the way they go about building a good electric car limits how cheap they can make it. They are putting in huge battery packs and the cost is only coming down slowly. The battery pack and motors on the Model S cost easily $35,0000 and…

I like idrive because it's tactile, you twirl and click. A touchscreen is shit in a car. It also looks cheap like someone just stuck an iPad to the dash.

Nope I mean cheap and badly designed. That infotaiment system looks like shit and is a mess. That leather is nowhere near good enough.

I said stop for a fill up which adds and extra 70 miles. You get 100 out of the battery and 70 from extender which keeps the battery topped up. Then you stop for 5 minutes and fill the extender back up which gives you another 70 miles. The battery still declines while you drive so the battery would probably be around…

Except the i3 has a much greater range than the Tesla. You can drive 24o ish miles in the real world with 5 minute stop for petrol in the i3 compared to 200 miles in the Tesla. The i3 then takes 30 minutes to charge back up to 80% while you have a bite and you top up the tank again and you can go for another 200ish…

Yeah, I'm not reading that twaddle.

I like Audi interiors actually.

It's wrong for many many reasons but calling it pedophile is incorrect. US girls hit puberty on average 6 years earlier than 200 years ago and it's probably responsible for increasing cancer rates. The average US girl hits puberty age 9 now and can be done by 14.

Damn right, not my thing but I always had a thing for older women and can't imagine being with young women as I find it intellectually creepy, WTF would we talk about....

This is a pretty incredible level of stupidity.

The Tesla interior just isn't up to snuff at it's fairly common knowledge. No need to get aggressive or you panties in a bunch. Have a look on the Tesla owners forums. The leather is cheap and the interior is badly designed and doesn't look great. The big screen looks cheap too. The fit and finish is poor, the doors…

No 200 miles is loads but you need the 85 Kwh version to get that in real world situations. I never said it wasn't good, just the i3 is a fundamentally more practical way of doing things.
