  1. And European reply is in Litres. There was a few issues when converting over that the fueler would put in 100L into a plane that required 100 gallons(I don't know fuel capacities of planes) anyways; the plane ran out of fuel mid flight. In a car, not a big deal. In a plane it matters.

  2. Funny. I see cans that say 30W and others say 30 weight. None ever said winter So 10W30 to me read 10 weight 30 (Never Winter) No body else has ever said W meant Winter That's going back 2 the 60's, so every mechanic shop I have seen or gas station so SO wrong. Instead of showing new parts show what SLUDGE IS compared to varnish. Also real carbon build up on valve stems. compared to slight carbonization. You will have to find a 40 year old farm truck to show that kind of build up...where the carbon build up on the stem is almost the thickness of the valve itself.

  3. I dunno about that. Have you ever walked to a gas station with a Jerry can for some extra electricity cause your schitbox died out of juice. An extra 3 gallons of gas will get you out of the hell hole you are in. Many of us still drive off road, off the pavement with utilitarian vehicles ( meaning we got a tow hitch and winch and roof racks and can carry a LONG TON(2240 lbs) to do a JOB, using high sidewall tires. Not just carry my butt. Which is all electric cars can do and they is WAY to big for that & too fast. There is going to be many intersection accidents due to their unusual acceleration ability. Fine if you want YOUR breakfast on the back seat in your GO CART. . 5 minutes seems like a long time. What, did you do the windows and check tire air pressure too?

  4. Of course they could make the car sound better...strap on some speakers and play sounds from a dragster or a car with open headers. Of course you think DRILLING FOR OIL goes straight into the car? You missed the distilling process of the refineries. There is a lot of energy used there. Also the shipping of oil from Arabia over the ocean to the refineries in N.A.. Also the cost of the making of the pipe for the pipelines...and so much more I could list but you KNOW YOU MISSED STUFF. Factor in those costs and it may be even that much better for EV.

  5. "Pam-pull Moose" written so you pronounce it correctly is GRAPEFRUIT in French so can was from Canada. Hey second language was good for something. ( you definitely bastardized that pronunciation)

  6. Yet we understand MPG...so it is perfect. Now take out the useless Turbo because only good for an ICE engine is removing a few pounds.

  7. I drive 500 miles a day(when you figure in the slow downs in the towns you cruise through 35MP Imp. G (or 1 stop to fuel up and still had half a tank in it per day on a 10 gallon tank) or ONE 10 minute stop for fuel. Batteries have to come a LONG way and in the REAL COLD(-30Fto-40F) to even be a consideration. Now I have experienced a non turbo diesel @75MP Imp.G(I do the calculations with calculator and pencil and paper)or 740 miles(no one wants to run it dry) so fuel every 2nd day in a 10 gallon tank(diesel=cost of low test gasoline). The 500 miles per day happen because every town is beside the highway so you got to do the city speed limit as you cruise through and there is always road repair crews out and traffic so same, same. Speed "averages" out to 40 mph. and drive 10 hours is long enough for a day.

  8. VW could have done it in their T-1 Beetles and have kept the original styling. Team up with Mercedes(the experts on diesels) Finally, some heat inside the car.

  9. Horizontally opposed is a VW/Porsche thing. 2 stroke design means you could put sparkplugs in it and it would run off of gasoline/nitrous/2 stroke oil mix. Some scary on your hairy. So there must be problems not covered.

  10. The batteries can't be recycled. Batteries may have a 10 year life cycle. Lead acid batteries they can be completely be recycled as we have been doing it since the beginning.

  11. Take the Battery pack weight and put in the equal amount of gasoline by weight into an ICE car...that is comparing Apples to Apples. Otherwise put in 18 lbs of battery pack into a Tesla to compare to 3 gallons of gas.

  12.  @JustDoinFlorida  I believe Charlemagne standardized the "imperial" system for you Brits. The length of his foot was the foot. He was BEFORE the British Empire existed. Check it out.

  13.  @tractorboy31  the rattling noise is the explosion of combustion on a diesel. The noisier it is the healthier it is. Drove diesels for 15 years.

  14. Yeah. All pickup trucks (RWD) are light in the rear. My slug bug could hold its own against a Pickup truck. Also that truck was designed by using a piece of cardboard. This is more reminiscent of the El Camino & Rancharo. Maybe the REASON the truck has stayed the same is BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST STYLE.? (it did it for 100 years) . Not knocking CYBER totally, the ground clearance is good, air suspension, having 120 &240Volt power and an air compressor makes it a TRUCK. The tailgate modification was also a good touch.(that can be copied by any truck maker NOW) The locking back box could also be copied but truck manufacturers decided not to have it. . Remember too, because it is Tesla, those are special wheels that can only be bought at Tesla. Not from a junk yard if you need extras for a cheap price. Most truck guys have extra wheels and tires(summer/winter snow) . Truck also did not have headlights or side mirrors or brake lights. or bumpers for license plates on front and on rear...or carry a spare tire & a jack for on the side of the road tire swapping. It looks NAKED WITHOUT A FRONT GRILL TO BREAK UP THE MONOTONY of the front end. It was a stage model. Something not driven on the road.

  15. Did you know that the auto manufacturer's use a different GALLON? Not the smaller U.S. gallon or 3.7L. Auto manufacturer's use the Imperial gallon or 4.54L when they do their MPG measure(that is 160 oz gallon (instead of 128 oz)- It is still used in South Africa (Canada used to have the Imp. Gallon, so did Britain & South Africa - all were called gallon) Reading Road & Track I found that out-how MPG were calculated. . They no longer do real world driving by running on a track so there is air friction, 4 wheel (tire) resistance to rolling in their calculations. They run the car on a dyno (1 wheel) so the numbers are higher than you will EVER GET. These are the corners they are cutting to get their rating. (I would not doubt that electric cars do the same thing). The true distance is how YOU drive in the terrain and roads you drive on. (Electric or gas) So your style and the terrain. I do all my calculations with calculator and odometer readings and then convert later with more math.(I convert the distance (Kilometer) and I convert the Litres to gallons because that is what I drove with for MANY YEARS so I remembered in my head what was good and what was really good. I still do it today. . I still use old paper maps in MILES so knowing I get 45MPG and I know the size of the tank 10 gallon I know I will get about 450MPG on fumes. Makes a difference when my truck did 18MPG highway on a 20 gallon tank. I needed more MONEY. . Hell, the distance could be in "stone throws" or furlongs or chain length. The math figures it out. ..This is basically "ClickBait"

  16. Exhaust? But it is electric.

  17. Porsche drivers. The ICE vehicle were more efficient at acceleration, cornering,comfort, and top end speed. (energy consumption WAS not taken into account. If you want to compare for energy consumption, then get a Honda diesel.

  18. Only 8" clearance. Try 12" so I can get my head under it. Not everyone drives on pavement all the time. We want to go fishing and some of them roads will HIGH CENTER you rather than let you pass. Make the car useful, otherwise I am going back to my horse. . Gee, think of the NON hassle you would get from Toyota if you reclaim one of these cars from the "written off" group....& fixed it Legal again. None of this "HERR MUSK" saying "NOPE" That is a WASTE.

  19. No Jake brake sound? Not a semi.

  20. Crude oil is in fact plants from a long time ago and it has been fermenting underground. So by burning that carbon we are returning the atmosphere back to what it was 100million years ago, so our chickens will get bigger and turn into T -Rex with a revengeful heart (Colonel Sanders should be shaking in his boots). That is how I see it. Most of the CO2 conversion happens in the oceans of the world (not including DEAD ZONES MAN HAS MADE BY POISONING THE WATER SO NOTHING CAN LIVE) Our whole idea of flushing waste into the sea has to change. We are killing ourselves. Going with the corn is just getting the FARMER VOTE. It does nothing to save us. Soon the areas that are perfect for corn today will become too hot temperature wise so other lands need to be developed for growing corn, which means a ton of fertilizer (from oil) to make that formerly useless land, semi useful. We are flucking ourselves and not even enjoying the ride. IMO We need a new type of engine or learn how to WALK. .Then there is wood alcohol as decomposing tree slash makes that already. So by cutting down the forests to make houses and paper and toothpicks we get rid of the vegetation that converts CO2 into O2 and Carbon. Same fricking alcohol cept you can't drink it. . Feeding corn husks to cows is going to increase the rate of Methane emitted per cow butt and that is even worse than CO2

  21. 2 stroke diesel? Does it do "Ring ding ding ding" or is that just Kawasaki 2 strokes?

  22. They will sound like "Slot cars"

  23. When the road shows melt, it is not cold. This is not a car for THE COLD. As for batteries, I store mine in the freezer and they lose nothing once they are warmed up again...so answer me that

  24. Better lube, like KY Jelly?

  25. Why do you need 600 HP to go to the corner Qwik-ee Mart and then drive around looking for a parking space when I could walk there faster & back?

  26. They said that about coal...which is still used today.

  27. Diesel will be phased out when you do not fly by jet, or ship, or train, or...yeah it will be around so long as those modes of transportation exist. There is always the Hindenberg II. As for gas cars considering they are fuel injection then it should work.IMO

  28. Why are you trying to be a salesman.? What is the comparison to an ICE car now. Is there a reason to get to 60MPH in 3 seconds? My ICE car which is not a Porsche takes12 seconds I guess, not that I have bothered to time it as I go as fast as the rest of the traffic. which are also ICE. If I was making a car for racing on the quarter mile then it is relevant. How much does the Porsche cost vs the cost of the Tesla? I am not a billionaire.

  29. Are you a car salesman? Then why are you trying to sell it? I don't care about BLING

  30. Well, obviously not a standard transmission so just the tinny ring gear used on automatics so standard starter motor can be used. Too bad. Can you imagine the burnout you could do to a set of tires? You would need a set of new tires at the end of the burnout.
