When I click it it goes directly to the article. www dot bgr dot com /2016/02/29/tesla-model-3-size-audi-a4/ Of course, you could also do what I did, google Tesla Model 3 Audi A4.

I gave you a link. It’s not my problem that you can’t follow it or simply use Google to find the MANY statements from Elon Musk and Tesla about what the Model 3 will be and what it will compete against.

I guess you’re unaware that Mercedes has a commercial truck division. Or, perhaps you could show me on the Mercedes auto site where they offer Unimogs or any of their other commercial trucks.

“Tesla is an electric vehicle manufacturer, not a luxury vehicle manufacturer.”

Seriously? Then you haven’t been paying attention. This is from earlier this week. http://bgr.com/2016/02/29/tes…

They’re getting it from Elon Musk and Tesla. The Model 3 is supposed to be about 80% of the size of the Model S which is similar in size to a BMW 5 Series. That’s pretty much how a 3 Series compares to a 5 Series. They’ve spoken specifically about the Model 3 competing against both the 3 Series and the Audi A4. The…

I think the killer app is going to be the Model 3's performance. It’s pretty cheap to add performance to an EV once you’ve got a big battery. There’s no reason to doubt that there will be a performance version of the Model 3 that puts M3s and others to shame for less money. I bet that even a base Model 3 is going to…

China is the key to helping solve this issue. For them, NK is a great pawn to frustrate the US and our allies and to this point they’ve not paid a price for being a bad actor themselves. But now that NK not only has nuclear weapons that they’ve tested, they have the means to deliver them against our allies and…

EVs will start to be adopted in large numbers when they’re price and range competitive with conventional cars. That’s a technology problem, nothing more. EVs have a number of advantages over conventional cars that will endear them to consumers: instant torque, quiet, nearly silent operation, much cheaper operating…

The difference with EVs is that virtually all the time you’ll be charging your vehicle at home overnight. You’ll start every day with a full charge. So, once affordable EVs come with 200+ miles of range, the only time you’ll need to access outside charging is when you’re traveling long distance like on a vacation. At…

I don’t think that’s true at all. I saw the interview of the Han’s device employee and Dale simply played down the likelihood of that type of accident.

I think NASCAR drivers liked to think of themselves as tougher than the “pansies” in other race series, especially Dale Earnhardt the Intimidator. But there had been a lot of progress in safety before that point. Both Bobby Allison and Richard Petty had done a lot to increase safety following their own brushes with…

It should be noted that Dale Earnhardt personally mocked the idea of wearing a Hans device. The company that makes it made a presentation to Nascar which Dale attended. He noted that he’d had many wrecks and had never had a basal skull fracture. His personal choice ultimately led to his own death.

Not a great trade economically, cheap ballistic missile fired and incredibly expensive defensive system and missile required to intercept just one. What happens when China salvo fires those by the hundreds and thousands? Can we protect every target from that kind of attack? South Korea? Japan? Taiwan? Guam? Those…

It seems like China and many other powers are relying on relatively cheap SSMs to overcome our perceived superiority in air power. Their ability to put at risk both our bases in Guam, virtually all of Taiwan and much of Japan is a serious risk to our defense commitments in that area. It seems like we should be…

Bigger target, bigger warhead. I know at some point that doesn’t really work. Not sure what that point is. And of course the whole reason for trying this is to develop a defense if such an object is projected to impact our planet.

Not really. Think about the size asteroid they’re talking about, 50 meters. There’s no doubt that a nuclear explosion could vaporize/destroy a target of that size. Now when you get into really large asteroids, miles across, that’s a different story.

Don’t forget that the Fins joined the Nazis once the Red Army was driven out of their country. It wasn’t unreasonable for them to do so given that they were conquered by the Soviets at the beginning of WWII. But they were very much on the losing end at the end of the war and had to agree to strict limits on their…

Russia is trying its hardest to poke the US in every way they can think of short of an actual shooting war. It’s time for us to return the favor.

“As with Canada, the Super Hornet, especially in its mature form, would be the most logical choice for Finland as conversion would be simplified to a large degree compared to its competitors.”
