Lol “CarDad” would be a good name for the business.

I’ve done that, HYundai is basically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If over the course of several hundred deals thoughout the year MOST dealers get it right and have no problem sending out the door prices, even on out of state deals...the problem is not the “complexitity of the system” if a FL dealer refuses to send a quote for a Florida customer, especially when their competiton can…

Right now trade in values would actually allow me to come out ahead, so I’m thinking about mixing things up.

I Googled for “average uber daily mileage” and there are a wide range of answers: 60-70, 100, somebody said their personal record was 170 on an 11 hour binge.

(This is Jalopnik, so of COURSE I didn’t watch the video, but here are the obvious questions:)
* How many laps can you do before you run out of juice?
* How many laps can you do before the battery pack overheats and you have to pit?
* Does he have some sort of generator to charge it between sessions? If so, how long does…

Tesla cells are just generic Panasonic in most cases. And the packs are very hard or impossible to use aftermarket because they are assembled in a way that makes them very hard to separate without damaging. If you’re not going to use Tesla’s battery management software, I don’t think there’s any advantage to using…

Tesla batteries are also known to run into overheating after relatively short high-power use, going for a lower density but better cooled battery would be a good move for a track car.

A Lamborghini Trofeo race car can do 1:40 ish on new tyres on that config (the longer config is about 4 seconds longer but Buttonwillow is HELLA dependent on track conditions for times). So it’s fairly quick I guess? Considering how bad it looks like it handles and how off the driving is. But it’s not by any means a…

That’s what you’re asking about? Not the side pipes that are still attached?

Buttonwillow has so many configurations that a lap time, standing alone, is meaningless.

“Yippee!”-them

A Factory Five Mk4 Roadster starts at $12,990

To be fair, it’s a replica. A tube frame kit car is not a terrible place to start for an EV conversion

I could not imagine having the “Fuck you” kinds of money to take a 1965 Cobra and Tesla swap it. And for some of y’all that are like, “Pshhh, that’s not much.” I’m talking from the bottom of the joint income tax bracket, anything above 50k a year looks like fuck you money.

here’s the aftermath though

To the first individual: Can you wait for a new car? If so, then wait, if not, pay the higher price. It’s genuinely that simple. these aren’t special edition Ferrari’s we’re talking about. They’re common full size SUVs.

Many moons ago rented a truck in San Diego- arrived really close to closing on Friday and the guy was in a real hurry- filled out the forms got the key and he locked the door and pointed to a lot across the street- I ended up with an actual semi truck, with air brakes and a car hauler and I was in no way licenced to…

driven by someone on some date (presumably recently, as the video has been making the rounds, of late).
