Why should we assume this? Everything about the concept is wildly dangerous.

I noticed the same thing immediately after posting haha

If there’s one thing I love, it’s having a stripper in my home, doing her thing, just watching me as I rummage through the fridge for the ingredients to make myself a sandwich.

Regaining contact at with the ground a speed that might not match wheel speed, to say nothing of what subtle shifts in car heading and wheel orientation with respect to direction of travel occur in the air...

Listen, the U.S. is already going to hell in a handbasket. At least we can get some fun drama out of it from a couple of divorced guys.

The phrase “it’s going to hurt people trying to hustle to make ends meet” couldn’t be more meaningless.

“Popinjay" is a top-shelf adjective. Well done.

Zing!

I know Presidential limos are heavy, but just look at how under-inflated those tires seem to be!

It’s okay, I’m not really into Pokemon either.

Maybe they have caches of brand cachet hidden hither and yon?

Good point, and I hope you’re right.  Bring back the Evo, damn it!  And the 3000GT!  

Now we’re talkin’!

Instead of complaining that he, a very rich man, has to pay a whole $9 to drive to see his kids, he could instead contemplate the factors that contributed to his children living, you know, elsewhere.

Oh come on, you know if Elonia was going to issue an order like that, it would be Order 420-69 or some stupid shit like that.

Weight savings is an obvious one. Battery density and discharge rate will certainly be major components. Curious if there will be high end battery swaps to reduce battery weight and/or to pump more juice per second to the motors. 

Right? Selling one car a day or four cars a day in the US is a meaningless statistical oddity.

I am pretty sure I rode one of these as a kid back in the day. I don’t know if it was the “kiddie” version or not.  Regardless, it was definitely as sketchy as all get out.

First Gear: Large, impressive-looking percentage changes can result when the denominator is miniscule. Selling 1500 cars instead of 500 cheap EVs isn’t exactly going to save the company. Going from 100,000 to 300,000 is still a similar percentage change, but very different change in overall revenue.

I’m curious if we’ll see the rise of EV “tuner” shops selling software updates, tarted up drive motors, and whatnot.  On the one hand, why wouldn’t we, if there’s money to be made?  On the other, the software required to do those sorts of things might be proprietary and difficult, if not impossible, to crack.
