And, eventually, accessible to almost anyone with a reasonable paycheck. The driver in this case simply mashed the pedal and now he’s a record holder. Anyone on Jalopnik could do the same, including their mothers and grandmothers. EV tech makes performance insanity accessible for a LOT of people.  So, yeah, yawn. 

Not even that. Fake engine noises are shameful. If you want the sound of a CBX, get a CBX - otherwise you don’t deserve it.

There is not an engine soundtrack in the world that sounds good enough for this not to be dumb.

my exact thoughts, but you know... Dodge owners....

My god this is dumb.

Ok fine, we’ll go with 120K$ that’s still attainable.

I guess for limited time when the guys at McMurtry start delivering units

This one-upmanship EV wankery is boring. Wake me up when meaningful range and true high speed charging is available at a reasonable price.

Considering the Nevera and the Battista are essentially the same car, the difference between 8.55 and 8.582 is just semantics and the conditions of the tires and pavement that day.

I feel like it would be fun for an afternoon.

Yawn. This just doesnt impress me anymore.

CS:GO, Apex Legends, Dota 2, PUBG, Lost Ark, CoD:MW2, Destiny 2, GTA 5, Rust, Unturned, Naraka, TF2, Crab Game, War Thunder, Warframe, ARK, Civ 6, Elden Ring, and Hogwarts Legacy. So, of the top 20 games, only one of them has no multiplayer component.…

It’s crazy how some publisher/dev heads have come out in recent years to say that live-service elements are a must for sales and bottom lines, yet

Exactly. It isn’t BEVs that are bad, but the entire idea of consumerism. I should replace this because it is old...

I think most people are motivated, genuinely, to do the right thing. The nefarious thing about green-wash marketing is that it appears to appeal to that instinct (here’s how you can help!), but it really is based around a more fundamental desire for more cool new stuff (by buying this fancy EV, right now!)

“Walking, or riding bikes are viable means of transportation for a huge majority of our daily needs.”
