Gibraltar is not part of the UK. Gibraltar is more arm’s length from the UK than say, the US Virgin Islands are from the USA.

Different lines of work get affected differently in a depression.

Bankruptcy lawyers get to roll in extra money!

The Nurburgring carousel is only 1 vehicle wide.
Brooklands had very substantial banking.

Here’s video of the OX in action, the assembly process, and a soundbite from Gordon Murray.

They’ve traditionally lost $10k/vehicle sold each year. They’re down to a loss of $3k/vehicle this year. And that’s excluding the loss that Panasonic has been taking on the battery cells.

The torque is available at zero revs, and various types of electric motors have different specific torque curves.

Mustang - starts customer delivereies in 2020.

“but yeah....he’s a lying huckster......”
For pretty much every aspect of timescales, he varies between ‘highly optimistic’ and ‘sheer fantasist’.

$35k Tesla. Said to be arriving in “2012, 2o13 for sure”, in Sep 2009.
1st delivered in March 2019. Immediately taken off the sales web-site.

It’s a good question. I think Bollinger’s lost mind-share because Rivian beat their price and ev performance, while looking just as cool and functional.

The biggest advantage that Tesla have is that they are willing to sell their vehicles for thousands of dollars below cost.

The growth of just part of Ford’s 150kW & 350kW charging network, from 18 months ago to 6 months ago.
Beige - you can reach another high-power (150kW+) charger on a charge in a 220 mile EV. Yellow is the range out to fast/destination chargers. The lines are major highways.

This is what the Cybertruck reminds me of:

The $10k/vehicle figure is the figure you get if you divide cumulative losses by cumulative sales, and it’s been pretty consistent year to year to year.

I’m not sure that it’s a cramped cabin. The load bed is only 6'6" long, and the tailgate is less than a foot thick. That means the front wheel and the crew cab are 15' long, taken together.  Mind you, those are big wheels - with a fair bit of clearance to the wheel-arches. So, I’m guesstimating that the crew cab is…

An interesting tit-bit that I had not previously noticed.... in late 2009, the old NUMMI plant was planned to be building Tesla battery packs and Tesla powertrains for sale to other vehicle manufacturers.

I’m guessing a construction firm built the factory in China. Much like Black & Veitch built out the Supercharger network.

They showed a roller shutter. And they’ve showed pictures of a version with a solar panel across the entire slope of the bed’s tonneau cover.

But there is no way you get the solar PV in the released pictures built-in to the roller-shutter.

Yes - they’ve managed to invent a serial-access version of the random-access load-bed.

Yep - the Sion Sono has solar PV built-in to the body panels for exactly that sort of use case. 6mi/day (40-45 miles/week) would be great for many urban vehicles, especially for people who don;t have off-street parking and so have limited access to overnight charging.

But I don;t think it would be much good for…
