Why? The cat would be perfectly happy with your severed head on his plate...

(another) software guy here. Yup.

“Feature Complete” is a pretty common statement in video games or software development.

Indeed ! Made men made maid man

yARR! *puts on tricorn hat*

1. Dick move to make me look for information somewhere else because you’re playing a video game.

And now no one can play it. I don't know if Neil would want us to commemorate him with cocaine and gunplay but Krieger would. Let's get to it.

And I mean this in all sincerity.

Starred for truth. Google “jalopnik tesla vaporware” for proof.

And then got lucky at Tesla, and then at space X ?

I imagine that Jalopnik staffers are currently rolling around on the floor as they do not yet have a grave to turnover in.

“It’s hard to find a coherent group more responsible for making automotive discourse more shitty than the Tesla Cult.”

If they’ve hacked the PoS system, does it really make a difference if you pay inside?

1 turbo = 200 mile range

Too much lag. You would lose some of that initial torque.

Couldn’t Porsche just install a larger turbo to increase the range?

So by the time your friend realized that things werent going anywhere near to plan...he waits till 10 miles left on a already compromised guesstimate of range...to start figuring things out?? 

Sounds like they were driving a Tesla, the range and “supercharging” kind of give it away, but thanks for trying to hide that?.....

For starters, not take 5 hours to get charge into his EV. XL thinks Diego is being ageist, but you could absolutely tell from the story this guy was going to be elderly before analog gave his age. Even in absolute worst case scenario like freezing temperatures and multiple chargers not working, there is no effing way…

Sounds like your friend went on a trip so that he would have a story about how bad EV’s are. Any reasonable Jalop / car enthusiast should understand that #1 EV’s have much lower range in the winter, and #2 you need to plan long trips using online tools.
