Cool idea, but probably the amount of energy needed to send one pulse dwarfs the cumulative energy generated by humans ever.

I’d be surprised to see Tesla make a sizable dent in this space; their only hope is to be able to produce batteries at a price point so much cheaper than the competition can acquire/produce them that firms will be willing to put up with what I expect will be a fairly substantial list of operational shortcomings in…

very loosely, those messages were left for you by a previous test subject telling you that GladOS is lying to you about the cake she keeps promising.

don’t worry, nobody actually understands anything anymore. it’s just all memes.

Portal took place in a testing facility.

I want to see an R34 NISMO vs an R35 NISMO.

Bravo!

Jalopnik needs 100% more this and 100% fewer shitty jokes from...literally all of their writers.

Stiffness is not the same as strength (and may not even be desirable for all applications). I guess Ford thinks it is useful here though.

My numbers seem to say that for a 1000 mile range, you’d need 1800 KWh worth of batteries, or 450 KWh for a 250 mile range - about 4-5 hours of driving.

I agree, but I want BUDDY Jesus.

In what way will a nearly 4100lb, 414hp kick the ass of a 3300lb, 436hp car? Even the 400hp C6 would easily beat a DB7 in every performance aspect.

I’m actually impressed with Alex’s ability to stay calm in all of this. Two rules I learned when I grew up in a now open-carry state: “You can’t reason with the unreasonable” and “Assume they have a gun.” This is exactly how you act in this situation when confronted. Keep calm and keep your friends calm.

Wow, good job photog Alex Stone at keeping your cool in this situation, I would have really struggled to do the same given this guys aggression. He definitely did the right thing though, and am glad it all worked out for the best and this lunatic got arrested, he certainly deserved to. Trying to run them off the road…

Yep, it’s not ever necessary. In some cases, especially domestic violence, it’s hard to secure a conviction with a victim who doesn’t want to be there, but the DA has discretion in what charges to bring. The State’s interest in keeping dangerous assholes off the streets is separate from the victim’s interest seeing…

Talk about a true *manual* choke.

He’s gonna hook the intakes directly to the HVAC vents in the dash.
