Have you looked at the Logitech K830? It’s not a gaming board but it is fantastic for HTPC use. And have you looked at the Corsair lapdog? It’s probably the best couch KBM experience you can get right now.

A viable electric car was impossible until it wasn’t. And now they are lunching hellcats in drag races.

“Is there any way you guys at [whatever gawker is now] can make it so blurred out handjobs aren’t shown on the FUCKING “YOU MAY LIKE” SIDEBAR.”

Most of the things you have stated are wildy inaccurate, or simply not true. (Trying to use an armored offroad vehicle with long travel suspension in a discussion about highway vehicles is a fantastic example of your illogical fallacy)

I. Holy shit dude, did you really just list 200 years of train history when I asked for shift in the modern era?

I. What paradigm changing event has happened in the train industry?

I. Motor weight/size isn’t an issue for a train. They have been largely the same for several decades.

Go reread my comment. Specifically the part where I mention how easily it would be to team several of these things together to distribute the load.

*300KWH battery in addition to the weight of the motors and ENTIRE CAR. A far cry from the claimed 2500 pound weight of a 250 hp electric motor.

Since it is evident that you have no idea what you are talking about, I’m going to make this really simple for you. Even with the weight of a 7 seat sedan wrapped around it, a 300 KWH battery (100KWH was a typo) and 600+HP worth of electric motors weighs less than 5,000 pounds. The Model S battery size is irrelevant,…

The battery (or capacitor) in a system like the one I described is only used as a buffer. Highway cruising requires very little power and can be handled by a much smaller, more efficient engine (which can be used to power an electric motor). The battery/cap is only used in situations that require more power than the…

??? Power is power. This vehicle has already exhibited that pound for pound it makes more power and torque, which is how it was so much faster. How would adding weight change the result in any way?

Swapping trailers would be plausible for hauling shipping containers. You could park under an automated gantry and have it swap your load onto a fresh battery/trailer and hit the road again.

This fails to factor in the battery. Which is more efficient? A I.C.E. at full load straining to propel a truck from a dead stop or one that runs at 40% load for a slightly longer period of time to recharge a battery/capacitor.

I’m not buying that number. For example: a Tesla Model S P100D has 600+ HP of electric motors, a 100KWH battery, and of course everything else that comes with a car and still weighs less than 5,000 pounds.

This one is kind of long and a little wordy, but here we go.

I’m not sure what you trying to say.

No problem, it happens to us all.

As a cyclist who rides ~3k miles a year, cars are generally either braking/coasting as they approach me causing the engine to freewheel and produce zero noise. I hear them entirely off of the tire/wind noise they produce. I have no difficulty hearing approaching electric vehicles.

As a cyclist, I agree with you.
