Note that for a developed nation, the US does not spend a lot as a percentage of GDP:

Oof, you spend 40% of the national budget on social services and health care and they’re both still awful and inadequate?

No doubt there will be further Lebanonsense.

The correct answer will always be Graham Hill. He could be an actor, painter, or magician. It doesn’t matter. It’s glorious:

I like Tesla, I wish them success, but they are not infallible. Reporting on their mistakes is part of *journalism*, and I’m sorry you won’t be able to wear your Tesla merch with as much enthusiasm

“until recharging becomes as easy and convenient as gas stations”

until there are publicly available numbers for the Taycan.

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

Lol. I love the verbal backflips you’re jumping though to explain this rather than just admit they missed the mark. They had almost 8 years to study, refine, and learn from Tesla and other EVs and they missed the mark. Even at twice the price, its questionable if the Porsche is better - and that means its a fail. It…

Yeah, good point. The Taycan Turbo actually is quoted to have an excellent drag coefficient of 0.22 (Turbo S 0.25) and the shape is a low slung sedan, so frontal area shouldn’t be bad either. Mach-E is quoted to have under 0.30, but definitely not anywhere close to Taycan. The e-Tron (also SUV style) has 0.28 (with…

Essentially, traditional manufacturers have customers that are less likely to accept drive unit failures, battery replacements and quality concerns that Tesla early adopters often write off as a small price to pay for a car from the future.

Nearly a decade and still no real competitor to the Model S.. at any price given how expensive this car is in the top-trim...

You’ll have to keep Hunting

but I wanted lauda engines

Noise is better theatre, which is ultimately what racing is. Engineering prowess is fascinating, but unless it’s also entertaining, it doesn’t help sell the show.

This isn’t a zero-sum fight against the laws of physics. Much like a supercharger uses some engine power to force more air into the engine so more fuel can be burned and you end up with more power output. The extra energy is coming from the fuel being burned, not the power you siphoned off for the supercharger. This…

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about the “Demon”?

Check out the Tesla Racing Channel on YouTube. Driver does repeat runs without recharge.

Doesn’t do anything

Long term - minimal. From another article, the 10.723 car “has seen its fair share of hard launches, yet never affected by Tesla’s power limiting feature, and has a battery pack that shows no degradation after 20k miles of use.”

Short term - not as bad as others here are saying. There are videos around of guys who’ll…
