What I do know is the improvements made in just the last 10 years. That’s not debatable. Look at the difference between the EV-1, and the Tesla model S. And if you understand how advancements in technology work, then you can start to extrapolate. Look at computer technology. Look at Moore’s law. If you don’t fully…

Your points about EV’s being around longer than ICE really is a meaningless statement. If they had stayed in production, and received the level of investment and attention that ICE received during it’s lifetime (nearly 100% given that electric was “abandoned” early), then we could be comparing them. You should also…

Maybe computer scientists should have given up on computers when they were the size of an entire room? Because that’s not realistic, no one would possibly want a room sized computer. Right, that’s definitely why electric cars should give up, because problems! And also perhaps cell phones, why on earth would anyone…

I’ll reiterate this one point, based on your last one.

This view is frozen in one moment in time, and doesn’t consider the fact that technology and energy generation are constantly EVOLVING. This is true of any technology or system. Over time, ICE will slightly improve, while electric drivetrains and power generation massively improve. Look at how far electric car…

Another point you’re missing is that the big boys are getting into electrics as well, because they see the potential and the appetite in the marketplace for such cars. In 10 years, all manufacturers will be mass producing electric cars. The big boys aren’t just going to sit around and wait for Tesla to capture the…

You can’t change the system by doing more of the same shit, election after election. Bernie was bold enough to challenge the status quo, and run a campaign unlike any other candidate has ever done. But sadly, too many of you have your head up your asses to realize what sort of political change your country needs...and…

The term “complex urban environment” is entirely relative. In this case, it’s applying to a self driving vehicle. For a human being, this environment is not complex, but for a computer, it is rather complex. In other words, it is most definitely complex seeing as no car has been able to perform this way before, it is…

Uh, I guess you didn’t hear that Tim Hortons is now American? I guess it was good enough for Burger King.

Duuuuuuuude....victim blaming much? You’ve got to be kidding, ramming someone off the road intentionally with risk of killing not only the occupants of the Nissan, but the occupants of the white car SOMEHOW is equivalent to someone ‘possibly’ slowly passing or even blocking the passing lane???? You’re on crack.

First of all, there’s no sense bashing Tesla over what Toyota has done in the past, that’s just a little silly. If you hate Toyota for lame refreshes, then save it for a Toyota thread.

You can’t create the future without breaking with the past...the nose looks strange, but I applaud their willingness to take a risk. Looks good so far, and I’m sure it’ll look even better over time.

That gives me major shivers listening to it....don’t think they’ll ever sound this good again, unless they return to V10's at some point in the future.

I guess your definition of an all out war is “kill everybody”. You must not have been watching the news when your country attacked Irak, or when it went into Afghanistan, or following what was going on there. You’re a prime example of people who simply eat up and accept what the government tells you about them trying…

Your lack of understanding of the conflict shows you have selective memory. Do you think the middle east enjoys hosting the US army to come “solve” problems in its territories? That’s the WHOLE POINT!!! Why does ISIS exist? Because the US came to Irak to fight an all out war, not exercise precision strikes. Do you…

My oh my, you don’t seem to have a clue what you’re talking about. Do you know how ISIS came to exist in the first place? Do you understand what the goal of ISIS is? Do you not understand that an all out war is exactly what they want? Do you think the middle east is more peaceful now than before a decade of war in…

Love this car...but the wheels look overly puny for some reason. Is it just me, or do the proportions seem off somewhat? Especially with that heavy rear end...

You have you consider what the test means. The test is clearly connected to real world driving. It assumes that the emissions being generated by the car are the same as when the car is operating normally and driving on the roads. The test is not just some standalone test with zero meaning and no relation to what the…

That’s rather short sighted. You may not like the Spyder, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. Should there be no room for exploring new configurations and variations of vehicles on wheels, just because there are already popular configurations/categories out there? Assuming that people only buy these because…

Oh, my bad, I guess hundreds deserved to die, and the faulty ignition switch only did us all a favor. Speeding should be punishable by death, so should having your seat a little too far back, you’re quite right. And having a number of keys on your key fob, that’s just insane...how dare they have more than a couple of…
