Having a standalone, EV-only sub brand as opposed to sprinkling occasional EV models across all brands is a great idea.

I think entry of other, significantly less efficient EVs will cause them to increasingly de-emphasize pack size in model/trim branding. For example, the size of I-Pace power pack has been prominently mentioned in many reviews as “larger than most/exceeded only by highest-tier Teslas” despite the range falling short of…

“You don’t know most of these teams though” continued Williams, “a lot of them are foreign exchange teams originally from Canada”. Pressed further, he produced heavily fold-creased picture of team logos that looked suspiciously similar to Bundesliga preview page torn out of the April 2017 FourFourTwo.

It seems that Honda (and Toyota, for that matter) are dead-set on waiting while this whole “BEV thing” blows over. They buried so much money in fuel cell tech that they are afraid that anything but the most token of efforts on BEV front will give legitimize they technology and highlight their losing bet on hydrogen.

Doing “Tesla thing” (expensive high-end catered to technology enthusiasts and wealthy early adopters) requires you to be 5-6 years ahead of everyone, not 5-6 years behind. HD was on the cusp of “Tesla thing” had they put this bike in production right after first showing it almost 5-years ago.

Here is a prediction: New Zero bikes that they are teasing on their site will have 50% more range for 50% lower price and 100% performance.

Functional mods = tasteful.

If the original power train can not be replaced, you are either junking the car or putting something that doesn’t belong there. Might as well go electric.

I would think that Subaru, with its build-in coastal cachet/high Tesla customer base crossover and moribund powertrain tech would be a particularly fitting partner.

Simmer down, Traci.

Holy crap, if AWD Carrera is already hitting official, often understated 3.2s 0-60, then what is Turbo S going to be capable of?

Fortunately, the engine designers at Ford came up with Ecoboost, thus ushering the era where automobiles themselves are generating the carbon black needed to replace the tires they were wearing out!

Yes, a lot less friction points in the decision making = much easier to translate political will into physical reality.

The “Teeth” ARE actually the part of arthropod’s carapace.

1) They are NOT building them a halipad, just helphing locate one.

Or any government budget, for that matter, because all the agreement says is “we will help you find a space for one, if possible”.

But “NYC will benefit to the tune of ($XX Billion - $1.7B) in taxes as opposed to $0.0" is so much less clickable.

Especially considering that in the uneven mountain terrain your ground effects are all f-ed up.

The transition from completely darkened hellscape to calm, sunny day is the most surreal thing about that video
