It’s basically continuity old Top Gear.

Well, the 100hp drooped the suspesion by an inch - which means that the bumpstops become a regularly-used part of the suspension.  So they made the bumpstops for the 100hp out of a material that does not work-harden.

Then you need to watch the video of the Fiat Panda 100hp up against a Ferrari.

Tyres already provide extra additional suspension.

Nuke plants are almost triple the cost of offshore wind turbines, per MegaWatt-hour.

To support all new vehicle sales doesn’t require the grid capacity to rise - it just means the existing capacity has to be switched off a bit less often.

Even once the entire vehicle fleet has been switched over, you don’t even have to double the grid capacity.

The cheapest new-build electrical genertion is all renewable, on a levellised cost of electricity basis.

Yes, but equally they are not non-Japanese nationals.

To be fair, that’s probably before the “founder of Tesla”, Elon Musk, heard about them

Show me where Trump hurt you...

The larger states’ cities are very spread out, though. You certainly can’t walk to most places in any of them.
It’s worse than that. I’ve stayed in hotels directly across the road from diners - awhere the only way to get from the hotel to the diner was to drive out of the hotel, down the road to a suitable junction,

What’s not illegal but should have been?

Driving those old rear-drive Skodas in the rain.
(I used to drive my brother’s Skoda Rapide Coupé)

Rest assured - the electric Jag XJ is on its way to you. We just don’t know what it looks like yet.

Weirdly, I hated its looks when it was launched. And now I think it’s gorgeous.

The USA is a continent-sized single market with multiple jurisdictions within it, totalling a $19 trillion economy. As is the EU.

People in Germany and France choose to live closer to their offices than people in California and Texas do. This is not because their respective continents are different sizes.
Or because

Acceleration and velocity both include an element of direction. They are vector, not scalar.

Speed has no element of direction. It is scalar, not vector.

The UK had 22,000 stations 20 years ago.

Even if we had retained them, the US would still have 8 times as many stations for 5 times the population.

Jag also offer a wagon.

Do you see the crossovers exceeding your real world average with their real world average mileage?

Or do their published theoretical mileages exceed your real world average?

And do their published theoretical mileages exceed your hatchback’s theoretical real-world mileage?

The EU and the USA are about the same size, geographically, and have about the same transit time.

The fact that you currently have no such option does not mean that the policies which have led your country to taht point are the only possible policies, or that they are even the most desirable policies.

Much of the US

Driving across the USA is about the same distance and time as driving across the EU.

One of the key reasons that the USA has fewer public transport options - given that 80% of the population live in metro areas - is deliberate policy choices in the early/mid 20th Century which rolled back public transport provision and
