Boycott action, and a smidge of arson.

Regenerative braking is great for slowing down gradually, but when you really need to stop quick, it's your brakes that will do most of the work.

I wouldn't trust any vehicle with front drums in a panic stop.

No, it isn't.

It might be, if Volkswagen actually come through on their promises, in 20whatever.

I've seen videos of those being used.

Although, even knowing what one is, I'd still assume you were talking about power tools.

China is a nation of around a billion people, most of whom we would consider middle class, and 22% of the overall fleet is electric, with new car sales being higher. The economies of scale for manufacturing are huge.

No, but they're so far ahead of anyone else it's unbelievable.

Whoever posts the longest comment wins.

Cell towers, in an urban area you're typically within range of a couple.

The US has been trying to pressure the rest of NATO to spend more on defence for a very long time, before Trump came onto the scene. Obviously nobody expected anything this drastic, but it wasn't entirely out of the blue.

The fact that the US has done so much to protect Europe, while having relatively little skin in the game actually surprises me a bit.

Broccoli head is such a brilliant insult.

I'm not American, just FYI.

Not my dumpster fire.

They are on track to be worth less than BYD, the two will likely cross over quite soon.

I would expect Moscow or St Petersburg.

You seem to be comparing a crate motor with the full cost of replacement of the Tesla motor. Also, is that the motor, or the whole drive unit, which from my understanding includes the differential?

No.

Less than a billion dollars.

Serious question, if the states did invade somewhere, whether it's Greenland, Canada or Panama, what countries would actually be willing to use military force to stop them?

Would they end up going to China for aid?

No way does an electric motor cost that much.

Have you seen the amount of precision engineering that goes into building a combustion engine? That is ridiculously expensive.

Musk didn't inherit billions.

The smug, condescending attitude from Obama, thinking that Donald Trump as president was an absurd idea that could never happen.
