Even if the money goes nowhere, it’ll start affecting the levels of pollution, climate change and ill-health caused by burning fossil fuels.

More power to you.
Do you pay for the damage caused by your tailpipe emissions? Or do you get other people, the people whose property and health are damaged, to pick up the tab?

This makes me think of transplanting in a Fiesta EcoBoost triple - either the 1.5T w 150hp or the 1.0T w 125hp

100hp was available from 2007 to 2010 or 2011

Rest of the World stats suggest you’d be paying 50-60% of what you currently pay, but in taxes and fees, rather than taxes and fees and insurance and debt collection.

“Tesla manages 6th-fastest time for an experimental prototype EV at Nurburgring”

Agile is yet to find its way into bridge design, or nuclear plant design, or passenger aircraft design, or...

“If I am to guess, they probably were doing Roadster 2 tests on a Tesla Model S body.”

“Most important rule of software engineering development when you’re not dealing with safety critical systems - fail fast”
FTFY.

Is it just me, or does the “Model S” that’s been going around the ‘Ring now seem like more of a Roadster Mk2 test mule?

Isn’t this why State Highway Troopers are a thing?

Made me think of this:

You know one of the cheapest ways to scale down production levels at moments when you are over-inventoried or sales begin to dip?
Ensure there is a strike by the production workers.

”I think a carbon tax is stupendously dumb”

“Tesla has already shown this”

Renault’s 2011 ad for their electric car range:

“Yet ANOTHER example of unintended consequences by huge amounts of lobbying to get changes to shortsighted government legislation.”

FTFY

Peak oil is a basin-by-basin phenomenon.  The North Sea’s oil peak was in the late ‘90s.

According to Tesla’s published figures, in some ways the S is smaller on the inside than the 3, but just has a bigger footprint.

He was certainly prosecuted for incompetent driving.
