Tesla is fast

The price of oil is illogical. It seems to be set by some international committee. The British companies drilling for oil are making a massive profit.

Since driverless cars don't make mistakes, they ought to have a higher speed limit. Then the roads would be clearer.

Who cares, it'll be fun when we go back to riding on horseback.

Please don't tell me you agree with speed limits.

It's about a fake religion. Who f****ng cares if the temperature changes a bit? Who f****ng cares if the CO2 goes back where it belongs, where it was before oil and coal and gas were created?

So you agree, trees eat CO2. What are you arguing about?

Forests are just lots of trees, what's your f****ng point?

It makes them grow a lot faster.

Oooh slightly different weather. It changes every five minutes anyway.

LESS. Stop using an incorrect generalization of a personal preference expressed by a grammarian in 1770.

Incorrect. They cost a fortune. They save a small amount, which is only a saving because the government taxes petrol and not electricity. False saving.

Since the figures are estimates, you can't say 3x.

It does. It's very toxic to mine.

No.

Less than Lithium.

If that is true, petrol cars should travel ten times further than electric.

Plenty of horse around here acting as lawn decorations. Might as well put them to work.

Not particularly but for the first year or so the cops were a real pain in the ass with the 55 mph limit in the east. They'd even set up rolling roadblocks to keep people honest. There was also gas rationing in effect which tended to make you more conscious of fuel consumption.

Eventually it got back to normal.

Flyguy is remarkably stupid.

It is at the moment, but that is a more more expensive way if getting electric power than getting it from solar cells and wind turbines.

What's wrong with that?

Not enough to notice.

The earth re-radiates every joule it absorbs, and always has.

Commnader Kinsey knows nothing about global warming, and less about religion.

Anybody whose house has been wrecked by an unexpected forest fire or an unprededented flood. It doesn't take much temperature change for the side effects to get nasty.

Back when the sun was 20% smaller and delivered 20% heat to the surface of the earth?

If you could actually get all the energy to move the car, then yeah. But the efficiency of an ICE Is so horrible, it gets maybe a quarter of the energy turned into movement.

Do a little math and show me wrong. Use the massive gas tanks that are being discussed for the 600 mile range vehicles. You do know how to do math, right?

I said "~3" using a tilde character to mean approximately

You said "minors" meaning young people, nothing about mining.

And most Lithium is "mined" using brine extraction, it does not involve digging holes.

Citation please. Oil extraction in the US alone kills a couple of thousand people a year.

Don't be silly; the major danger to miners is the dump truck; accidents happen.

Has he really been talking about miners all this time? I thought he was messing around like Jan would do.

80K miles is not much at all. Tell me how it fairs after a typical lifetime of a petrol car.

F*ck all people would be happy with 40 miles. I could cycle that distance. Cars should do hundreds of miles.

You want to drive at 2.5 miles per hour? I could run past you.

The car should work without me f****ng about with the wiring, this is pitiful.
