there’s a reason tesla started with a lotus as their base chassis on the first version of their car, it’s REALLY light. Electrifying a 3,330lb car seems like not the best choice

I just picked up an echo dot for $35 on prime day, and paired it with a couple TP-link smart outlets at $25 each. It’s amazing to be able to tell alexa to turn on lamps when you start vegging out on your couch watching tv at dusk, and an hour goes by but you’re too comfortable to get up to turn on the lights.

You don’t HAVE to create electricity by power plants. By 2040 I’d expect solar and wind will have saturated the market so much that it’s more cost effective. Gasoline on the other hand is a finite fuel source created by oil, and energy is used to refine it not to mention transport it. Other than small losses during…

I was going to post this if someone hadn’t already. Colin is basically a plumber by trade, and he was able to make a working hovercraft out of off the shelf parts and crude tools after only a couple tries, and this is toyota’s best effort? Was there any point in someone publishing this video?

how about we call this function “human assisted autonomous driving”?

The jeep cherokee is easy to work on.. because you’ll be working on it.. A LOT!

most consumers aren’t seeing the big picture yet. they only see $30k pricetags, and battery anxiety. When electric charging saturates at least 1/4 of fueling stations, and batteries become even cheaper (and perhaps more cycles before they decline), they are going to become very attractive. You also can’t look at…

$20 says now that this went viral, that someone feels sorry for him and buys him a real switch with every game available. That’s usually how these stories work out.

throwing out a pitch will heal the nation how exactly? did I miss the sarcasm? We need the president to stop being a bully

pfft, he should be so lucky

horrible name, cool movie plot.. Plus it has ed harris in it!

anyone watch the top gear grand tour on amazon? I couldn’t get past the 1st episode. Good cinemotraphy, but the production value feels cheap somehow and they are even more pompous and overacted than before. It’s also more of the same “Oh look, we’re going to make rules up as we go along to mess with James”. Show me…

trump reminds me of the david blaine parody guy:

so it just didn’t go? Anyone else thinking the complete opposite, that the car was going to drive off stage uncontrollably?

thank you sir, that gave me a good laugh

Every year toyota manages to find new ways to be embarrassed to be an owner. Can someone give Akio Toyoda a good slap across the face for me?

Seems to me, there’s some sort of invisible wave being generating that we can’t see (or measure). That wave is causing thrust. I suppose if we can’t measure it, the easiest way to test it is to send a satellite out into orbit with a battery pack to get it going (with a solar panel to recharge the battery as it…

I’m an engineer with access to a $120k printer, and I have a flashforge clone at home I picked up for $600. Biggest difference between the two:

The VW I.D. gets 300.. no, 373mpg.. Yea that’s the ticket! There’s no way we could have fooled the test equipment! Just ask my wife.. Morgannnn fairchild.

i’m just gonna leave this right here
