A worthy and accurate barometer against which all future cars will be judged.  David Tracy grade, indeed.

People have been predicting the demise of fracking for the last decade. Production keeps growing and fewer and fewer offshore wells get drilled. That WSJ article is from 2019, and shale production actually kept growing after it was written. Only thing that shut it down was COVID.

Oil drilling HAS massively expanded on private land. The shale revision more than doubled U.S. oil output, and the vast majority of that happened on private land. Shale killed offshore drilling- it doesn’t make economic sense to drill in 10,000ft of water when you can drill on dry land instead. We aren’t going back to…

The offshore leases are auctioned, and right now almost no company wants them at any price (see also ANWR). The drilling itself is too risky and expensive. Republicans tend to think the year is 1958 and were totally divorced from the current reality of the industry.

Not sure I follow. If federal leases were so cheap relative to “future value”, then every company would drill on federal land exclusively. But the majority of production in the U.S. is on private land. What value an asset may have in the future is speculative. That’s like saying Google was the beneficiary of subsidies…

You’ve supplied more detail than the original article. But who are you really talking about? U.S. oil companies or some other entity?

I’m pro-EV, but I’m surprised nobody has bothered to call out the author on the hand waiving regarding what constitutes a fossil fuel “subsidy.” Make no mistake, the federal government is not writing checks to the oil industry, nor are there much in the way of tax breaks that aren’t available to non-oil companies.

250 kW of energy going through that plug and you wonder why it needs to lock?

I’m very confused as to why a locking plug is required. 

You might, but most wouldn’t.

A cabrio w/ over 100k miles just isn’t worth $20k. It’s a really solid car at $17,500 and a “buy” at $18,500. At $21,500 it’s “no dice”.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that IMO, Guards Red is far from the 996's most flattering color and I like these better without the aero kit and that silly fixed spoiler. These two…

No dice for me. $21.5K without an IMS or clutch replacement is coupe pricing. A cabrio with that many miles should be under $20K.

Too bad there’s so much evidence, including videos. Otherwise, he would surely be charged with and prosecuted for committing a bunch of crimes.

The i3 is a great option and has a combination of several things that make it superior to other options, especially if you want to use it for more than just around town (and some downsides, too):

Legalizing all forms of narcotics would be extremely inadvisable, considering how addictive and damaging many of them are.

EV conversion - Pass. Why? because the biggest break through in EV’s isn’t that manufacturers can make an EV, its that they can make one that’s uncompromising; in other words, everything works. If you just throw some batteries in the trunk and add a controller your going to loose all heating/cooling controls for…

Do they not have metal scrappers in oakland?

No. The jurors assess whether the prosecution has presented enough evidence to support a conviction based on the laws as written.

91 hours? ugh

Then in Origins and Odyssey you were able to swap out your horses/camels on the inventory screen but now in Valhalla you have to go to the stables to swap your horse/bird.
