As far as I’m concerned in Bloomberg/Hillary/Gore vs Trump/Dubya, Trump/Dubya might actually be the lesser evil. That sounds insane, but hear me out.

Keep in mind that our second-most-recently appointed Supreme Court Justice wrote an opinion supporting the idea that a trucking company was justified in firing a driver for choosing not to freeze to death while waiting for roadside assistance in sub-zero temperatures with no working heater.

Now playing

The other White Mamba convincingly beat 3 guys at once:

Which one of these is the battery-electric... the F-150?

There are several problems with comparing hydrogen cars to Tesla. First off, the fact that EVs can charge at home breaks the entire comparison; if you could ONLY charge a Tesla at a Supercharger, they never would have gotten off the ground. Second, if Tesla were not a startup (and therefore not expected to actually

This article (and the original WaPo article) is pretty silly and clickbaitish.

Looking forward to the upgraded version in a few years, the Xbox Series X One.

About the same as a Gen1 Volt: ~35-40mi electric, then ~35-40 MPG beyond that.

Thankfully, depreciation has resulted in the invisible hand of the free market swiftly correcting Cadillac’s initial price.

They did produce one of them: the Converj.

Part of what you are buying when you purchase a Tesla is exclusivity. Waiting in line to charge behind Leafs and Bolts diminishes that exclusivity. It’s a brand marketing decision, not a revenue decision.

The physical adapters exist (google “JDapter stub”); people use them to access the 240V Level 2 Tesla destination chargers at places like hotels.

Nope. Unlike every other charging network (where the customer pays for access), Tesla has insisted that other automakers must pay Tesla in order for their cars to work on the network.

The reason why Tesla does not use an SAE-standard plug for their charging network is exactly the situation you see in the video above. To wit:

Based on my personal experience with the Gen1 and Gen2 Volts, ~50mi is right about the sweet spot where I could drive fully-electric on a normal basis (even in the winter, when battery capacity decreases and HVAC consumes more energy). Lugging around 100mi of battery is too much cost (higher car price) and too much

Yeah, the REx on the i3 is terrible.  It’s a motorcycle engine that doesn’t make nearly enough power.

Tesla has caused a lot of these automakers (including GM!) to immediately declare that all-electric BEVs are the only kind of EV that needs to be produced. Meanwhile Toyota, who has been resolutely opposed to BEVs from the beginning, is getting ready to release a PHEV RAV4 Prime with 39 miles of electric range (i.e.

Just a nitpick:

What word is there to take? If your argument is that Jordan was much worse than AA ball when he first started, uhh, I concede? I’m saying that the fact that he (factually) topped out at AA necessarily means he didn’t get good enough at baseball to be worth discussing.
