In that sense, its sort of like a Top Gear Challenge sort of thing. Buy a car (or in this case, get offered one for free) and drive it 500 miles. Hilarity ensues...

The best part about this story is that it was such a simple fix, and that you found it right there in front of him.

Well, considering the originals came out in the 1970s, and I remember being a small child watching them on TV, I’d say no, its absolutely not super old in any way.

Turbos use the movement of the exhaust gases coming out of the engine (whatever their temps) to spin a compressor which forces more air into the engine for combustion.

You shut your damn mouth. I’m not old! (I notice you got replies, but no stars! Ha!)

Unfortunately, this is not really possible. The shape of electrical outlets and plugs also defines what sort of power runs through it. Its a safety thing. That’s why its impossible to plug a 240v, 30 amp plug into a 240v, 50 amp socket. Same with electric cars (although some of this can be controlled by low-voltage…

Considering that both Chademo and CCS are currently less powerful than existing Superchargers, such an adapter might be sort of dangerous.

First Gen Ford Probe had some funky pod stuff going on, including a little blinker/high beam toggle coming off the binnacle itself as well:

Model S owner here: I think your “Divide stated range in half” is a bit extreme, unless you’re talking about driving a sub-100 mile range EV in freezing weather during a snowstorm.

In other news, asshole cyclist rates match asshole motorists rates, and stereotypes aren’t reality.

1st Gear: Um, I think you may have misread Elon’s statement. I think there will be fewer overall options available for the Model 3, but I think what he was saying was a bit different than how you’re reading it. Tesla has already been talking about various Supercharging and Autopilot options which will be available for…

Yeah, like mirrors and their adjusters/housings/motors never break...

“The perpetrator then blinked two sets of eyelids. You mean blinked with both eyes?”
“No, sir, he blinked one set, then he blinked a completely different set.”

This is basically my life with my two cars, but exchange Acura NSX for Tesla Model S P85 and crappy, high mileage 1992 Jeep XJ for crappy, high mileage 1980 BMW 320i.

Ha! No, it wasn’t that bad every day. Usually took me an hour to go 5 miles from my apartment out in Brighton to my office down by the Fan Pier. (Green to Park, change to Red to South Station.) Did that commute for 2 years. Sometimes I’d skip the Red line and just walk between Park and my office, although the Red line…

I once got stuck in an absolutely jam-packed, standing room only B Train on Boston’s Green Line between Arlington and Copely in the middle of the summer afternoon rush. It was roasting outside, with oppressive humidity, and the streetcar tunnels were even worse. The tunnel was jammed with running streetcars, all…

Sheesh, getting a driver’s license is practically the easiest thing ever in this country. Can you fog a mirror and indicate which end of the car is the front? Check. Drive the car around with a test instructor for 10 minutes or so? Check. Didn’t kill anyone or crash into anything? Congrats, here’s your license.

Jason’s computer analogy still holds to your point though. In computers, there’s always bottlenecks. Improve the processor, maybe the motherboard presents issues. Improve the motherboard, then the RAM is the issue. Improve the RAM, then its the graphics card that can’t keep up. Then the whole thing repeats again with…

I’m actually way more talkative about my rescue e21. Its a total beater. Dented, rusty, looks like crap. Not worth value of the gas in the tank. Literally, the gas in the tank is worth less, because now its inside the fuel tank of a beat up e21.

I loved these cars, and was really sad to find out about the reliability challenges.
