I dunno, having 80% trying to catch the kite might result in higher chance of failure from the resulting Charlie Foxtrot.

Major props to the handler who managed to NOT PANIC and bring that thing down at a decent rate for a perfect touchdown!

This could an awesome superhero origin story. Glad the girl is OK. Yeah, 80% of people filming...20% trying to catch the kite. Not a good ratio.

Still better than Spirit Airlines. 

I feel like every EV article on Jalopnik ends up with the same argument. Renters don't have the luxury of charging there car at home. Maybe I could park my EV down the street that has charging stations every night... Yea, that sounds convenient. 

America’s people size issue is not related to height.

True, but I think they were talking about width-wise. Average weight for adult Netherlanders (male and female) is 151lbs. Average weight for Americans (again m & f) is 180lbs.

Are Porsche really taking on Tesla? Porsche is kind of taking on the Model S with a much more expensive car... The day Porsche have a mass market car with a base price around 40k like the Model 3 will be the day that... Forget it, that day will never come.

You’re confusing brands with car makers. Lincoln is a brand of Ford, which is a car maker.

You are joking, right?

Part of the problem is the costs of energy is regional...

Its sad when you speed read the title and think Pandemic is one of Porsche’s models.

A Camry easily knocks back 40mpg and is $13,000 cheaper than the Model 3. Gas around me is $2 per gallon. If I drive 16,000 miles a year, that’s $67 per month in gas. Electricity around me is 11.1 cents per kwh. Using this calculator (https://teslanomics.co/tesla-monthly-charging-cost-calculator/), it looks like the…

You can go buy a 2020 Toyota Yaris for under $16,000. It has around 400 miles of range, it’s more practical for a single-vehicle household (in terms of flexibility, if not size), and far easier in general to have serviced. No EV manufacturer has a counter to this, nor will they for years to come. The point is that…

Good point. But it’s the not the author that’s saying that, Musk himself is:

That’s the average new car price, meaning that there are still vehicles priced thousands of dollars less. Tesla does not have this option. They start at 38K and only go up from there. For example, I could spend 35K+ on a Camry. But I could also spend 22K on a Camry.

Pedo’s Peak

And a pedo.

I would imagine they'd charge the batteries.

No mention of what they plan to charge for this chassis? This is either incredibly exciting or completely irrelevant, depending on price.
