Ran when parked...

wow. glad the woman was okay.

Range for the P100 is actually over 300 miles rated by the EPA (combined city + hwy = 315), which is better than a lot of ICE cars. I would think a day of spirited driving should get you 200 mph easy. The range anxiety arguments really don’t hold up for electric cars anymore, unless you are planning a lengthy road…

Yes, but you only get 2 gears and one of them is reverse.

it sort of looks like the type 3 notchback convertible, that never made it into full production

I mean, his biggest output other than the first successful automotive startup in the last 80 years or so. And the hundred thousand plus electric cars that it has already built. And the rockets that land themselves.

Beyond that, what’s this guy ever done to back up his boasting?

It’s definitely important for people to do research on the charging infrastructure on routes that they personally will use. Generally, Tesla’s is better. In a few cases, CCS or Chademo is comparable. Also, some people may never even use it. Just depends. Personally, we have nearly 20k miles on our i3 and have only…

I was born in TX and grew up in Iowa, so I know there’s lots of good stuff between the coasts. I was just commenting that a big chunk of the population that live near the coasts probably can get by with 120 miles of range. You’re right, though, a Leaf in Texas (which also happens to be really spread out,…

Many inter-city trips would be possible on the coasts with a car with 120 miles of range, even with just the charging available now. A year and a half ago, I did a 700-mile trip from Tampa to Savannah, and if we had 120 miles of electric range, I would never have had to use the gas range extender. Obviously, the more…

Yes, Jason, we know.

Fire(truck) in the hole!

Probably 60-80. Most of the power in 1/4 mile is applied at relatively low RPMs where electric motors are really efficient, then you regen on your way down.

“What could happen to an Old Fashioned?!”

They don’t. Matt is very popular on this side of the pond. For example Top Gear isn’t even his first show on the BBC, Episodes was.

For non british people, for the most part of the segment our reaction is “who is that?”

There is no “sneaking” a sandwich through security. You’re allowed to bring non-liquids in, including food. You can also bring an empty water bottle through, and fill it up at a waterfountain inside security.

Looks like an earlier design. Video is 40's and looks like a more advanced form. Probably trying to get a gumment contract on account of it using less raw materials during wartime.

Model S P100D is the new fastest. Motor Trend just recorded a 2.28 earlier this week.
