Get real. You’re not going to be attacked by dinosaurs.

...one of the main reasons I bought a Hummer EV is because it ISN’T gas or diesel...that’s the schtick. Diesel and lifted truck bros HATE them and I love it. They’re always trying to roll coal or gun it past me and I just laugh knowing I’ve got well over twice their horsepower available in an instant and have a…

None. We have to stop burning gas.

Fun fact (okay, maybe not so fun): Thomas Midgely, who played a key role in developing leaded gasoline, also invented Freon and many other harmful CFCs. It is very likely that no other single person has had such a long-lasting and deleterious effect on the environment.

No, Nissan could be the Tesla of EV's if they had design a battery pack with actual thermal management

What’s worse is that, like 2020, we’re going have Trump as president again. He might even bring Covid back.

The first rule of buying a used EV is liquid cooled batteries only. Air cooled battery packs don’t hold up.

Que the “Mission Impossible” theme where he takes off the mask and the hijacker is actually Diana, Princess of Wales.

Checking out the VIN # comes up with a link that shows the car may have been reacquired by Porsche under a lemon law issue.

(In all seriousness, they think he may well have died in the landing. He jumped with a parachute that couldn’t be steered into the PNW woods at night)

By far the easiest and lowest hanging fruits, when it comes to EV tires, is to tell the car makers to stop putting 20" donk wheels on their cars and go back to 17" and 18" wheels. You typically lose 20 mile in range when you ‘upgrade’ to the larger wheels and tires.

Whatever you pay, charge it. It’s likely you won’t live to see the bill at the end of the month :)

You have a good point, but you have to remember than when an Altima crashes, the dimension in Hell from which they sprang is opened, and the wreck is sucked back home, so there’s less evidence?

That front release is well designed and intelligently placed. The rear one is fucking stupid, and makes me wonder if they had 2 separate departments designing the front and rear doors. 

Alternate headline:

Not to mention a human driver paying attention would have seen that car ahead changing lanes and ask “Now what were they avoiding?”

They would not have anything like enough time to raise sail and use them to do anything about the power loss, even if the wind was blowing in the right direction to help, and they had enough room to maneuver. 

The car did alert after hitting the deer, it just alerted RFK, Jr. to come pick up the carcass and dispose of it in Central Park. That’s the new protocol. 

You’re right, decorum is more important than action. It was very rude of me to suggest that Washington or Nashville should do anything to help their constituents. It’s natural that they should leave people to their own devices while they process their emotional trauma and I’m being very unkind suggesting that they…

Ah yes, the sure sign of a successful nation: laypeople rebuilding destroyed infrastructure with trash because the government has zero interest in doing so!
