Racing, and race cars, are expensive.   

Furthermore, there isn’t anything other than bullshit about range vs. reliability.

Battery degradation is a bitch. Just ask my two year old cell phone.

For 2013, that was a lot of range. The 2013 Model S 60 is EPA 208 miles.

Kia got the soul a decade ago.

So how big was the check from Porsche? 

And yet we understood what he meant.  Guess all is well.  Unless you were his English Composition teacher.

Actually, no.  They just told them to do whatever.  Least stressful assemble job ever.  

Just wanted to leave this here

Well the bad news is that since they got only 201 miles on the EPA testing with nice all season tires in normal temperatures there’s about 0% chance that it’ll get that in winter when you’re running winter tires instead of the all seasons and driving through slush while blasting the electric cabin heater. This will be…

Yup, it seems that words don’t mean anything now.

This review does a better job than I can explaining how it works, in the “Regenerative Braking” section:

I do not think Porsche is doing this, but EV battery packs have a hold back that only allows the pack to be charged/discharged to a certain point. This holdback is typically 10-30% (some hybrids have an even larger holdback). This is to reduce deep discharge or overcharging cycles and extend battery life. Since these…

It all depends on what you do and where you are. I’m a first responded and I NEED consistency. I cannot drive into work in -30C weather with half my range gone or I forget to plug it in after getting off shift. 200mi range would be at the razors edge of my ability to get to and from work on a single charge... or I can…

It’s still going to be less efficient in the cold, at higher speeds than the EPA tested, and so forth.

I think your beef is with Ford for selling the most popular selling vehicle in the country in 2019 (2020 model) with leaf springs, because this set up is in fact the best solution available to control axle wrap on a leaf spring suspension. A proper 4-link suspension - like Ram uses, would be better for a high…

All Rally cars are street legal, because aside from the timed stages they also have to drive through transit stages on their own and those are going to be on public roads.

Amateurtip: I have no idea what y’all are talking about, but feel like I have learned something, all while being entertained. TY!

Star given for Jesus on a popsicle stick.

I’m not a truck guy, but I’ve always kinda had a soft spot for the “street truck” thing. The Lightning comes to mind. Never my thing, but I can respect it.
