    You're comparing a car built, as far as I can tell, for a single lap with no formula (i.e. anything goes) to a LeMans 24 hr car. Also, the full 22.8km Nordschleife record is Niki L…

    Is he wrong? Also, the Nevera has 4 wheels. Which means that the 2 000 hp it has are, mostly, BS. That much power can't be delivered to the tires. Not unless they have custom, stre…

    Can't edit my original answer any more, but I just wanted to state that: - I think every proposition (not just sentence) of this comment is wrong. - Tesla, not only didn't break th…

    Indeed not. We've been putting engines mid-bay since at least the 60s. If you want to compare this Tesla or the Taycan fairly, you have to compare it to a mid-engined car. Like the…

    I appreciate all the effort put into LO, or any complicated and sophisticated free (as in libre) project. I despise LO. I use gnumeric when I need a spreadsheet. Or grab my Mac. I …

    Lol, I asked rhetorically. I know the legality behind it. It's a pickle to to balance all the higher order principles involved.

    Aside for YouTube "tut tut" what has Markson said that disqualifies her? I ask in full faith, as I don't know who she is. But why does YT get to tut tut anyone? The only basic reas…

    Some thoughts. Do with them what you will. 0. The original sin of the car is the car itself, not the ICE. The car has externalities other than the ICE, battery cars don't address t…
