Why? What’s your case for “needing” 500 hp for operation on the street if you comply with the law?

I’ve said it for years. Your basic licence should entitle you to drive vehicles up to 100 bhp per ton. Five years after getting your licence, given no driving infractions, you can take a second test to entitle you to 200 bhp per ton - a figure which includes a *lot* of performance vehicles (and if you don’t like it,…

Me too, because then we might get some fun street cars instead of the current crop of bloated expensive over powered nonsense that’s only good for bench racing.

Honestly, I’m OK with it.

So, I know this is a car site and all but, Who the fuck needs a car with 500 hp? Why is something like this available from the factory, for sale to normal idiots who have enough money to buy one but nothing else that says they’re capable of handling a car with this much power?

Nebra... Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Or some cashier kept saying they could and then laughed as they all got towed away.

It will be great for old rich white guys.

Maybe.

the resulting impact on Tesla car sales was not crucial because Tesla is an artificial intelligence company focused on self-driving technology.

The “engineering” on the Cybertruck consisted of putting the initial prototype into production with zero changes or testing (I cannot overstate what a colossal failure it was that these clowns couldn’t figure out that the hubcaps would rub the tires until after they started shipping trucks to customers), so any…

No, you’re not. The situation of not testing every vehicle sold for operations on public highways effectively creates a ‘some people are above the law’ situation and don’t have to comply with regulations. This is a situation where the NHTSA needs to take a firm hand.  No test results, no clearance to sell.…

I already said it before and I gonna say it again, how the hell Rimac can already released and even sells both Nevera and Pininfarina Battista when both revealed prototype at the same year 2018

the roadster will go through 3 million tweets of hard testing before its released to the public. itll be fine.

Shouldn’t the automakers have to give cars for the government to test? Maybe I’m overstepping the reach of our .gov here, but it seems like this should be how all cars are tested. I’m not expecting a niche brand (Bugatti, Rimac, etc.) to give a car for this due to limited production, but I would certainly think…

It may be possible to recover the system by performing a vehicle power cycle: Exit the vehicle, close all doors, reenter the vehicle, and attempt to drive.

So, fun fact: Despite what Faux News will tell people, the majority of people who end up in the US without documentation are people who overstay student or tourist visas, not the people who bought the proverbial 31' ladder.  

I’m really getting tired of this stupid & false stereotype.

The problem is you tried the tiny one, not the full-sized model that I saw at my local car show the other day.

They’re definitely doing this for shitty reasons, but Gaiman himself is admitting to the encounters and just claiming they were consensual, which is... questionable given that one of them was with a nanny 40 years his junior and it happened within hours of her starting on the job.
