The Decade of the EV

SFOGuy says...

On this one, Bob, assuming you are not being ironic, I totally agree with you. Most people drive about 11.5 miles each way to and from work--and most cars used for non-work go less distance. Range for at least one car in a family isn't really the hang up.

A Tesla Model X (just to pick one) goes 0-60 in around 3.8 seconds. 3.8 seconds is ridiculous fast. The Plaid variant does it in 2.5 seconds. The fastest internal combustion engine I've ever personally lived with did/does it in 5.9. Thus, moms hauling groceries can flatten the bags against the rear hatch about twice as fast as me. I am a poser lol.

The F-150 pick up is rumored to do it..4.4 seconds. Good grief. The load will fly out of the bed.

Those are FUN vehicles.

So five co-drivers/navigators all mis-read this turn on during the walk-through? Or did road conditions change (wetter/gravel dumped on road before curve/someone moved a braking check point marker?)

As I understood it, the Veron was designed with specific tires that could handle it's top speed for 15 minutes (when new), so the fuel tank was designed to have enough fuel for top speed for only 12 minutes as a safety feature.

yep; as I understand it, the constraint on high speed touring cars and sports cars--is the tires and how long they can run at high speed and temps.

That was sort of scary.

Wow.
Three thoughts:
1) European liability laws and releases of liability are really different from the US!
2) No helmet, not even goggles against swirling dust in an open topped car
3) Did anyone else hear the sound track of Gran Turismo in their head lol?

Nice video.

Reminds me of the current rally footage we get of pedestrians close to race cars and their predicted pathways if something goes even slightly wrong...
