Oh 100% they are perfect, or even preferred for some applications.

I mean it’s neat and all but peltier devices are terribly inefficient. A couple of tech YouTubers used them for cpu cooling going for sub ambient cooling, and while they did work, IIRC they used a lot more power for the peltier cooler than the actual pc did. They even tried stacking multiple TEC’s and even trying…

That’s funny, here it’s typically 15 mph drops 70 to 55 to 40 and yes there is a town just north of me that does a 70 to 50 drop with no warning and yup there is almost always a cop waiting there to pop you.

I typically defined them as when you have a short distance and a big drop is speed, if you can coast down to the limit that’s fine, or is there is a warning sign like you mentioned.  There are a couple I have been through in Texas where it drops from 70 to 35 REAL fast, and there is almost always a cop sitting there…

“And if you live in a small enough area, you may find yourself targeted by stops more frequently.”

For me it was always moonroof, only vents and doesn’t slide open, and sunroof does both.

Exactly they were expecting residual values more in line with their ICE offerings, and that was NOT the case.

Fair but even had they gone with an EV form another automaker they likely would be in the same money losing position. Or maybe they would have lost a little less.

Never buy someone’s project car and REALLY never buy someone’s project car when there is only a single picture.

It’s a prototype so no title and you can’t register it.  Plus the last thing you want is to sell it to a rally nerd who then hoons it, get’s hurt and sues you.  Prototypes and concept cars are almost always sent to the crusher.

Yes and no, I mean yes him dropping the new MSRP pushed prices of used Tesla’s down, but EV’s almost across the board depreciate like a freaking ROCK. The depreciation curve on them makes using one as part of a rental fleet since a lot of the residual value you get reselling it vanishes because of the steep…

It wasn’t only that, though it did play apart. The real problem was that EV’s seem to depreciate MUCH MUCH faster than an ICE equivalent vehicle.

Rename it the Gulf of Deeez Nutz!! you cowards

Considering how many functions automakers are baking into a screen with no other way to access them, this is a terrible idea. I have a 2020 while I still have volume/tuning/HVAC temp and fan speed knobs/buttons everything else is screen only I do NOT want an even smaller screen that I have to access those functions on.

Agreed, but also IMO that’s fine, I don’t need a 4k HDR view of what’s behind me when backing up, just a general idea if I am going to hit something.

100% but that data isn’t worth anything to advertisers. The automakers NEED to know you called grandma Tuesday and talked for 45 minutes and that your favorite radio station is xyx in Cincinnati. Just like for the longest time ANY app you downloaded on your phone NEEDED access to your contact list, web history,…

Yes, you get a rotary accelerator.

And that’s a bit more unsettling now that we are find about just how MUCH car companies are spying on us and the data they collect and resell.

Fair, but IMO, the whole 300 mile range/charge, should just be the default since I would hazard that the majority of ICE cars can do that or better if hybrid for ages.

There is no such thing as to fast, there is only 2 fast for the conditions and the driver. I have maxed 2 of my cars when I was younger and dumber to 115 and 125, and I have regularly cruised coming back from Houston at night solidly over 100 mph, all of those were done safely, or as safe as you could be. EV’s with…
