The Tesla Roadster already does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. The next generation one is supposed to be 1.1 seconds. It probably can't do it many times before requiring a recharge...

Yeah... So it's good at hopping lights and impressing the girls.  :whistle:

Take it out to the North Fork Nationals for a run... Dead of night... sixty miles away from plugging into anything... With what might be a need to duck off into the woods for hours and hours of back road Dukes of Hazzard shit if the cops show up...

Take it out there...  :beer:

We read a lot of things.

Here's the bar: Outrun a police chopper and get away with it. That's what a hellcat can do, slammed to the wood.

I don't give a single sh*t about anything but merit. Them that can brag, let em.

When it's real -REALLY real - People will flock to it without subsidy, just like the construction industry and mechanical industry moved to batt tools. No bullshit. No hype. They're better day-to-day.

But even in that, .when the chips are all down and the batt driven tool won't do, Out comes old-school pneumatics or corded tools to kick their ass.

Toyota offers no such range for 2025'2026.  Perhaps you should go back and reread that 2023 article that happened to be the first one that popped up in your Google search.  Oh, and those cars will use lithium-ion batteries.  Maybe you should get your facts straight before posting.  Because your failure to do so makes you come across as a complete fool.

And the solid state battery isn't available. They say they'll have one by 2027...

I play supermarket roulette every week to get better meat prices if it's a 15 minute or less drive ... manager's special is cherry on top.

I can't wait to get back to fishing and hunting. And raising up my own beef and chicken. I am not used to paying for meat at all. And man! is that an eye-opener.

It's because billionaires have "invested" enough in congress to get a tax code tailored to their needs.

Is it though?  The billionaires get tax deferrals.  The bottom half of households get all sorts of handouts, contribute practically nothing to the federal government, and still pretend they are getting ripped off.

Didn't we just read that Musk has a concept vehicle that can go 0-60 in 1 second?   :shrug:

I'm not an advocate of today's EVs...unless you live in a tropical climate and use it expressly as an errand vehicle around town.   happy77

That's about 2.735 Gs... So if you weigh 200 lbs, you'd be pressed back into the seat with a force of about 550 lbs...

Yikes!

yeah...that's not gonna work unless you're using "Element 115".   :beer:

Bring back the '67 border.  You know, the one where the West Bank was part of Jordan.

 Maria Bartiromo questions Jim Jordan about ‘congressional investigations that go nowhere’
by Miranda Nazzaro - 04/28/24 3:55 PM ET

Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday pressed House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on the lack of headway in House Republicans’ investigations into President Biden and other political figures.

Bartiromo and Jordan were discussing the Judiciary Committee’s latest report that alleges the New York County District Attorney’s Office’s (DANY) hush money probe into former President Trump is “political prosecution.”

“Well, look, I mean, at this point, American citizens are asking, what can you do about it? I mean, look, with all due respect, people are sick and tired of congressional investigations that go nowhere. People are sick and tired of letters being written and sent to the people who we know are bad in the first place,” Bartiromo said Sunday on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Jordan lamented his frustrations about the former president’s other legal battles in Washington, D.C., for his federal election interference case, and in Georgia, where he’s accused of participating in a scheme to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.

“They want you to do something about it. You’re an elected official. What can you do to right these wrongs?” Bartiromo added later.

“Well, we have passed legislation out of the committee that would help remedy this situation, particularly the one in New York, but the president or vice president can move a case to federal — to federal court from when you do these state prosecutors who are going after someone for a political reason,” Jordan responded.
