    It finally happened, BMW found a way to turn paint into a part that's out of stock.

    Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz

    Why would you buy your competition if they're lame and overpriced?

    Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX EV

    Did they build one yet? No. Cool.

    DINO-fuel vs. Electricity analysis (from a person that drives a ton of miles)

    That's fair, I'll double it for good measure. That comes to $3000 per year, still a no brainer. Once I get my solar roof going it'll basically be $750 assuming I rarely supercharged.

    Vehicles that perform "ICE-ing" at Tesla SuperChargers

    I feel like this is rare enough that it gets people's attention. Even when I drive past the chargers in central California, which is where things like this are most likely to happen, I only see open spots. I look forward to using them in the near future.

    DINO-fuel vs. Electricity analysis (from a person that drives a ton of miles)

    I track mine fairly meticulously and I've found the following, all in my Business vehicle which is an F350 super duty: Avg miles per day: 153.1 Avg mpg: 16.2 Avg cost of fuel: $4.50/g (IF I'M LUCKY) When I factor in all of the other upkeep the truck works out to 49¢ per mile to drive that...

    Deserted factories show how China's electric car boom went too far

    Then what are lobbyists and unions in this metaphor? Vultures and gophers?

    Deserted factories show how China's electric car boom went too far

    In china the state is subsidizing so many EV companies they can't all stay alive due to market forces. In the USA companies are taking their time adopting EVs because they have been getting bailouts after bailout and have no incentive to innovate because their lobbyists have allowed them to...

    Deserted factories show how China's electric car boom went too far

    Precisely. Innovation has never been their strong suit, always imitation.

    FSD... It won't run over pedestrians. So pedestrians...

    And hopefully everything will be recorded and a review will weed out the exploitative characters. NDG has been anti-Tesla and anti-Musk for a long time. When Rogan told him he'd bought a model S NDG replied with, "He conned you into that?" He's basically a bad faith actor at this point in the...

    Dealerships are such hot garbage and need to be taken out

    Since I committed to purchasing a model Y last week I decided it would be a good idea to go to to a dealership and see what they say about my current work vehicle as far as a trade-in or even getting cash value. As expected, they low balled me and gave me an estimate for just the truck and none...

    Cybertruck Size & Inconsiderate people

    I feel like you're all missing the point here. Even if you don't spring for FSD the truck will be dealing with these nonces for you on freeways and most highways. Commuting will just be boring instead of infuriating, especially when it comes to the suicidal weavers and dippers. Hopefully by the...

    Why Not Use Self-Driving Cars as Supercomputers?

    They'll be fine for normal use, but if there's an external process being run on it that's intense it'll work it pretty hard. Remote protein folding and setup programs had to have throttles added because of this. Bitcoin miners also have independent throttles for this very reason. It might be...

    Why Not Use Self-Driving Cars as Supercomputers?

    That accelerates it, but normal use does wear on systems.

    Why Not Use Self-Driving Cars as Supercomputers?

    I noticed a precipitous drop in my power bill when we made sure that everyone's gaming PCs went to sleep appropriately. There's also a lot of wear and tear that PC components face when running heavy computations and gaming. I'd hazard a guess that while this looks really cool on paper as far as...

    BMW iM2 EV could blow away Tesla Roadster — with 1,300 horsepower

    I thought the germans gave up on hot air with the hindenburg.
