Truth - also constant pedal modulation (speeding up and slowing down) leads to poor fuel efficiency as well. I see tons of people fluctuate between 50 and 60 mph for no good reason. All that accel/decel leads to crappier than advertised MPGs. Not to mention that it is one of the most irritating things one can…

Real life fuel economy over the last 12,000 miles in my EcoBoost has been consistently 5-12 MPGs better an EPA. I don’t drive slow. I just don’t use the brakes for turns:)

No, don’t you see, trickle down airline seating. Now the super rich won’t be taking up first class seats, those prices will fall accordingly(ha), and we’ll all get a taste of the sweet life.

Damn, I couldn’t make it all the way through without laughing.

Where exactly do you think that all of the commercially available hydrogen in this country comes from?

I hate to break it to you, but a hydrogen car IS a hybrid. It uses a battery pack or capacitor to store brake energy just like a hybrid does. It also uses two onboard energy sources (hydrogen and electricity in this case instead of gasoline and electricity).

So you cut and pasted an old FDR quote taken out of context, a man who you probably despise, and you think that’s a good argument?

You’ve got enough of a barrage of the expected anti-union replies so I’ll chime in to support you’re message. It’s funny that many of the same folks who deplore any form of gun control because “the 2nd Amendment allows citizens to keep government in check” against some real or imagine erosion of our rights does not…

I see you got all the ‘but this is America’ responses already like without any pressure, companies don’t/wouldn’t walk back as much as they could. Just because there are safety regulations in no way guarantees them in perpetuity. Businesses and the right have been chipping at the edges of what we have accomplished in…

The first gen plane will have a piano bar. The third gen plane will seat 182.

I’d rather see them be employed in a safe working environment. Rather, I’d like to see them not being exploited. This blatant disregard for safety is the shit that leads to Bangladesh factory collapse that killed hundreds of people a few years back.

And yet VW has got away with ignoring the EPA for about a decade now, and was only caught by a university. Yeah, the EPA is real powerful.

For gods sake, if you’re going to talk about history please include a date! Its kinda important. Also thank you for including it.

The whole system they use is flawed. When both “my iPhone takes a couple minutes to connect via bluetooth” and “the torque converter became a bingo roller” are equally weighted as a reliability defect, I lose faith in the accuracy of their report.

Science is NEVER settled, and the debate of science is NEVER over.

Oh look..the people who actually produced that graph shit on the Forbes article..

Your referring to the Koch paid fool, James Taylor. His latest rubish on this topic has been once again, rebutted here:

Exactly, usually zero percent is accompanied by lower cash-back incentives, so you are paying ‘interest’ in the form of a higher purchase price.

just when I think this guy can’t be more of a raging asshole...

Fix the humans not the car.

Tesla still isn’t profitable. It’s easy to build an uncompromised vehicle when you have no compromises to make to hit a target that will actually support a business model. Tesla had a loss of $338 million over last six months, and their losses have been steadily increasing.
