Every single time they reboot Knight Rider, they really f it the heck up.

The BEST “reboots” of the series was the original TV movies that continued the series. Like when KITT was rebuilt into a classic... I want to say Chevy, very briefly and part of his processing units were... for some bizarre reason stuffed into

The secret sauce is “Racism”, it’s just hidden under a heavy “socially acceptable” taste of White Nationalism that just feels “normal” to most Americans. The kind where they see a single black person surrounded by many police and they immediately assume that person is a truly hardened criminal, even if that person is

Nah, he’s talking about whatever the hell completely destroys “Home” in that new movie 3022.

That’s how much of a stable genius he is. He would unleash a weapon so deadly, so insidious that he would wipe ALL life from this planet and cause the remains of the planet to collapse upon itself and then rupture into space

Some. Really... probably JUST enough of us killed.

MOST of us don’t have anything to really worry about, unless the “next” attack is something obscenely mundane, such as attacking major concert venues and sporting events that happen to coincide with one another.

I hope that happens. I really hope he’s yanked from the bench, along with Neil Gorsuch.

Who is claiming that electrifying old cars is the only solution?

I run a machine shop, I am aware of the costs in fabricating bits and baubles for the automotive industry. If you have a platform that you are working on, a solution for one example will be usable across other examples of the same model, often times over

These predictions are built upon an incredibly large and growing pile of evidence.

The kind of evidence that was used to create predictive models that proved to be considerably accurate for the last 20 years.

Why does that bring you no concern?

Power Steering and Air Condition can both run off of an electric based system. There are many modern (post 2000) vehicles that do have electric power steering that do not attach to a pulley system. An A/C could have a separate direct drive motor connected to the condenser, in lieu of using a pulley system as well.

Brak

I believe that if we, the people, step the f’ up, we could effect the change that will create a World War level of mobilization to convert ICE over to EV.

We went from being poorly readied to having the most powerful land, sea and air force on the globe, in an incredibly short period of time during World War II, with

Can someone explain why the automakers don’t just say, “Hey, guys, Tesla is GIVING away the patent for the fast charging technology. Why don’t we start using that and build our systems to handle that kind of recharging too?”

I would like to see a modern Jeep, an actual Jeep, not that other stuff they make with the brand name, that sits lower.

A “light” duty street rod type jeep. Better gas mileage, able to tow at least 2,500, doesn’t NEED 4 wheel, doesn’t need trail rated stuff.

It could fit into that “Small Truck” space that’s not

The problem with E85 is that instead of making it out of something that needs barely any tending, like switch grass, that grows super fast, like switch grass. We make that our of corn, which is one of THE most fossil fuel intensive food crops known to man. The fuel, by itself... yeah, that’s great, but making the fuel

Good thing Lithium from the existing batteries doesn’t “expire”.

Plus, there’s still new battery tech on the horizon. I imagine that they are getting closer and closer to working out the manufacturing concern for that sodium glass battery system that is far more power dense, able to take a charge MUCH faster (they kind

That sucks.

But, not everywhere in the country/world is running off of coal, I think that is growing to become a majority of the country condition, so for more and more Americans it is better, even if there are still some coal fire plants in the mix of their state electrical grid, to move to an EV.

I apologize, unfortunately, this joke of yours is way to close to what people literally believe and will pontificate upon for hours, pulling out all kinds of spurious information that they can’t even back up.

It’s an important issue to me.

Converting old cars, with a swift to convert system, can be more environmentally friendly emissions wise. The emissions costs of original manufacture, from smelting the steel, stamping, assembling, etc., etc. has already been spent.

Building a whole new car simply creates ALL of the emissions at once. Being able to

In the US, even if they were plugging PURELY into a Coal fire plant, due to the efficiencies of modern power generation, the per mile CO2 emissions cost of this vehicle would be significantly lower than if it was maintaining its Petrol engine.

This is not new information, come on, leave the late 90's to early 2000's

It’s completely and totally fine.

We need more conversion kit/systems put together if we expect to be able to hit global targets.

For me? I’ve got a back of the envelope calculation of ginning up a conversion on a platform that I dig, but... it will probably set me back around $15 to $20k, including the donor car and

Then build it in... Detroit. No competition, create a new destination experience.

Samsies. My only defense? It sounded cool around the time I was graduating high school...
