How does it compare to the Hyundai Kona EV? As far as I know, both use the same drivetrain and battery, although the Niro is a bit longer.

Yeah, call people “dummy”. That will really make them come around to your deluded viewpoint.

This really needs more stars. Extremely well said!

Hot take: lowering trucks is utterly pointless, and those wheels are a tragedy.

Dodge Challenger, probably a Hellcat. The speedometer visible in the upper right corner gives it away.

Because they suck.

Very likely. Here’s a Hellcat dash for comparison. Looks identical to me.

I was thinking Challenger, but it’s probably the same wheel on all of them.

That’s because it just isn’t designed to run at racing power levels for longer than a few seconds. If they beefed up the cooling system, it would have no problem.

250 miles in 10 minutes.

It wouldn’t be that difficult to calculate if we knew the total wattage required to run all that stuff.

Teslas are fast, but not fast enough to use up 250 miles worth of range in 10 minutes. It would have to be traveling about 1,500 miles per hour, or approximately twice the speed of sound.

EVs don’t really idle at all. Honestly, the biggest cost savings with this will be fuel used while idling. When you’re sitting still, all that’s using power is the radio and lights, which is a very small amount of electricity. A first-gen Leaf can stay on for a week before the battery runs out - imagine how long a…

Now I’ve got to get a car with an actual handbrake. Mine is electronic, and takes about 5 seconds to actually engage.

I’m in British Columbia - there’s snow not that far away. But I have zero experience, plus my car is FWD and I don’t want it wrapped around a tree.

Damn. I had little to no interest in drifting before, but I really want to try it now.

“it doesn’t have that godawful face”

The V8 fanboys are going to have a field day with this one.
