Musk has always said a new Roadster was in Tesla’s future product plans, but I always figured a small crossover and a 2nd gen Model S were higher on the priorities list.

If this is real, like, REALLY REAL, this will be the hottest car in the history of cars.

I dunno, I think it’s generating quite the buzz.

Are you normally this much of a douchebag, or is this a special occasion?

You’re just another fucking troll. Save us this shit and get a life somewhere else. You know well why people take offense to the “n-word”. Don’t come here with that horseshit.

You are correct. In America, a white person cannot do anything without some minority group having a problem with it, even if it’s just getting a cup of coffee.

I know I’m going to be shunned to hell and back, but the correct anthropological terminology to denote someone with dark skin color is negroid (like someone with fair skin is caucasoid). Even further muddling the discussion, the correct term for the European Caucasians is Aryan (to contrast to the Semitic and Hamitic…

No

I’m black and I don’t like it when black ppl use the word, or when other ppl use the word. Just because you’re black doesn’t give you the right to say it, because our ancestors were oppressed. Either grow up and learn to talk like an adult, or go back to high school in the ghetto and continue calling your friends that.

This is bullshit. If you want to stop the alt right you need to stop demonizing white people for no reason. Hate breeds hate.

Not all white people are privileged, nor are all black people at a disadvantage. Ambition and upbringing are the real factors. Be confident and work hard and you will do well, be treated well in life. If Tyler Perry, as a black man living out of his car, can do it, anyone black or white or purple or green can. Im…

Engineers did a great job of reducing deformation of the passenger cell of the Smart Fortwo but that doesn’t ensure survivability of a frontal crash. Without sufficient structure to absorb energy from the impact the deceleration forces can be high enough to rip apart internal organs leading to death.

This is probably as close as you’re going to get:

We need to see something like this. A modern subcompact like a Fiesta vs a conventional midsize from 30-40 years ago.

But preventing intrusion into the cabin isn’t the only thing crumple zones do. Don’t they also absorb momentum to lessen the overall shock to the occupants of the car? Which helps mitigate issues like whiplash?

It’s becoming more and more apparent that some new/newer writers on here are far from knowledgeable about the vehicles they are writing about. I feel like I’m reading articles written by a used car sales person. I know more about the cars they are writing about and I haven’t even sat in the car let alone been lent one…

That wouldn’t have survived the impact.

Add Hyundai to that last.
