Agreed, the media in the haste to condemn Trump’s actions (that are legal given his power as president) screwed up massively and revealed far more details to ISIS than Trump did to the top level of the Russian government.

Those premium brands, especially Porsche already do that.

At 2:14 has what looks like a RAF 3 plane section flying in the v formation.

Because conventional taxis aren’t trying to compete against private cars and mass transit.

Minivans in North America are all 200+ inch long large cars. Crossovers cover a much wider range. Not everybody needs the space of a three row minivan. The most popular crossovers in the same range of dimensions as Civics and Accords.

The solar powered Solar Impulse 2 has a wing area almost as large as the Airbus A380 but is slower than a car.

“have you not been seeing the stories on how batteries are improving on a nearly weekly basis?”

How’s that different than WW2, where the major carrier battles of the Pacific were all about providing air cover and securing control over the air of key land targets. Coral Sea (Port Moreseby), Midway (Midway Island), Eastern Solomons and Santa Cruz (Guadalcanal) and Phillipine Sea (Marianas Islands)

If they’re in better conditions, it’s only because you have more naive drivers using their nice personal vehicles that haven’t seen much work yet. Once you have cars that go through several years of driving people, their messes and body fluids around, and given the low fares, the typical UberX vehicle will make taxis…

Perhaps, but the difference in scale between the energy requirements of a modern warship with the amount of solar it can collect is huge. At full speed, an Arleigh Burke generates upwards of 80 MW of propulsive energy and require several MW of electricity to power its systems.

So, unless the destroyer has access to a mobile nuclear reactor that can convert water and air to fuel, it still has the same logistics tail and issues as regular fuel.

And then they switched over to coai/steam beacause it was far more powerful and more reliable.

100 million barrels of oil is the equivalent of something like 170 TWh of energy. That is more than the annual solar electricity generated by the US, China and Germany combined. If the US can’t protect oil tankers in its convoys, how’s it going to protect giant solar arrays and tall wind turbines?

Except New York has even longer commute times. The only solution to congestion and long commute times is to live and work in smaller cities.

SH-AWD remains one of the few systems (and probably the only mainstream AWD as it’s available on the Acura MDX and TLX plus a renamed variant on the Honda Pilot and Ridgeline) that actually does torque vectoring, in that it can shift all torque at the rear axle to either wheel.

Though given the horrendous quality of the Model X in its first few months of production, it wouldn’t be the first time that Tesla sold what others would consider non-sellable cars.

But we also had several reports on this thread alone that said Mattis was eager to go ahead.

So, going by the CNN and CNBC accounts President Trump took an active interest in the briefing and was convinced by both the civilian and professional head of the US military who were for the mission.

Have you checked prices currently; given the exchange rate most cars in Canada are considerably cheaper than the US and are probably the cheapest in the world , especially in Alberta with only a 5% sales tax.

That’s the point, tariffs incentivize local production.
