The Tesla has a 180% efficiency battery wise. You get 1.8 time the energy you put in the batteries on output. So the 68% is fossil fuel is canceled out.
So, either Elon Musk has figured out how to violate the laws of thermodynamics, or you have no idea what you're talking about.
Or you forgot the </sarc> tag.
Don't suppose you could provide a link with scientific evidence proving this claim of overunity you have made?
If there's a fire all oil-controlled media report on it immediately.
"Oil-controlled media?" Geez, paranoid much?
Any paranoid with a lick of sense will tell you, the media is owned by Jewish bankers, not oil companies.
If the range issues scare people, they build charging stations (big oil is fighting the legality of these currently)
Uh, citation needed. Desperately.
If they have too good of a crash score, the score rating system is changed.
The system is the same as it's always been, there is no victim here (except consumers who don't know that the NHTSA rating system has always been a whole-numbers type that ranges from 0 - 5. OH, and people who don't realize that pretty much every new car on the road has a 4-5 star crash rating).
They are banned from selling in Texas because that's big oil's home turf....
Mythic hyperbole - they can sell all the cars in Texas that they want, provided Tesla plays by the same rules as every other auto manufacturer. I think what you meant to say here is, "Waaa, mean ol' TX wouldn't give Elon a special pass to do something that's illegal for everyone else!"
Because that's what actually happened.
But hey, don't let a little thing like facts or reality get in the way of a good 'woe is me, I've been victimized' rant. Otherwise I'd have to find a new hobby.
So without the internet someone just mails pictures to your boss.
That could be considered libel, defamation, and/or blackmail if they're making a demand in exchange for not sending the pictures. In other words, you would have legal recourse against a person who tried to ruin you in such a way.... which is treated completely differently than Joe Moron uploading pictures of Underage Drug Party XI to his facebook page, presumably because Joe Moron isn't intentionally trying to screw anyone's life up.
You're in public so the act never was private.
So, having guests automagically transforms a private residence into a public place? I doubt you'll find much legal precedent to back that assertion.
Side note: If that's your philosophy (non-residents in the house makes the house a public place), remind me to never invite you over.
Yea, so I'm bad at arithmetic; have been ever since I was a baby, and a golf club was used to make a fissure in the back of my skull. Thanks for making such a big deal about it.
Anyway, I know and accept this fact, and have come to terms with the knowledge that yes, I will need at least a pencil and scratch paper to determine what part of the bill I should pay, and how much to tip.
If a cashier hits the wrong key and the till tells him to give you back $100 on your gum purchase, he needs to be able to catch that error by doing at least an approximate calculation in his head.
Well, OK, not that bad at arithmetic...
You appear to be one of "the number came out of the computer and the computer is always right" type.
You appear to be one of those "makes assumptions about a person's entire lifestyle and personality based on one thing they said, once" types.
Really just about anything you do in public is public. That is the way it has been for a long time. What the Internet has done is made the planet a small town. Smoke a joint at a party? You are doing it in public. This is not new. There was always a chance that someone would tell your boss, wife, or parents you where doing something that they would not approve of. The difference is it is just more likely.
The difference is culpable deniability; using your example, if someone tells your boss they saw you smoking pot at a party, you can easily deny the charge, as well as turn it back on the person making it ("Don't know what he's talking about, but why was he at a pot-smoking party to begin with, hmmmm?")
As Micheal Phelps found out, a picture some asshole posts online is a lot harder to deny.
That's not even mentioning the can of worms that things like internet access in the home and automotive telemetric monitoring equipment create.
Solid granite in a 100% oxygene atmosphere burns like... anything else. I would wager you don't even need 100% pure oxygen, likely it burns at 60% or 75% perfectly.
Sure, but in that situation it's more like ablation than burning, isn't it?
Apparently you had Sarah Palin as a reading comprehension teacher.
He is comparing the American health care system with the European health care system. Which is far superior by every measure.
"European" != a country, numbnuts.
Since it obviously went over your head, the Sarah Palin crack is in reference to a rumor that, during the 2008 campaign, she got into an argument with a staffer about whether Africa is a country or a continent (apparently Mrs. Palin believed the latter).
Fine: Ford sold ~250,000 Fusions in 2012. We'll assume, for the sake of argument, the same amount were sold in 2013.
It would take 82 2012 - 2013 model year Ford Fusions to catch fire in that time period before the model has as high a failure rate as the Tesla S.
Now, if you want to try and find out exactly how many 2012 - 2013 Ford Fusions have caught fire, be my guest. I didn't have any luck (doesn't seem like the NHTSA tracks vehicle fires by model-year), but maybe I was looking in the wrong places.
If you want to keep pretending that comparing a total of 18,200 units of one electric car that's only existed for 2 years, to the literal billions of gasoline cars that have been sold in the past 100 years is somehow a legitimate comparison to make, go bother someone else.

It's just a big fucking game to them. All of them.
Now, all of you please stop with the OT political bullshit, thanks.
No, no, no.

Liar liar car on fire!
Paid shill?
Person with a sense of humor. You should go find one yourself.
The Tesla advocates are not going to be happy about this one. No sir.
I can just feel the rage radiating through the story. All those fanbios, quivering with hate, turning red in the face and TYPING SO FAST!
LOL
This would be a lot more poignant if you had the balls to sign in before flaming.
Like me, since I agree with your post 100%.
Already happened to a guy in a French McDonald's, either late last year or early this one.
If I find the article I'll post a link.
Wait a little longer. This thing has very limited improvement thus far.
That's "improvement over blindness," in case anyone wasn't sure what he meant.
You don't even need this when most people willingly carry a remotely accessible microphone and transmitter in their pocket.
Except that the people willingly carrying microphones and transmitters aren't the people they need to be listening to.
when car brakes after falling in Vending machine you own it and must pay costs to get it fixed. No refunds as well.
What if the machine breaks the brakes before the brake can break the brakes?
Or, put it in a Faraday pouch
You get the same CARRIER LOST effect, without putting another handful of blood minerals into a landfill.
Android for sure, it was part of one of the last Humble Bundles. Don't know about iOS.
BTW, it looks and runs beautifully on a 1st gen. Nexus 7.

Which would make you wrong, a lot.
Methinks thou misseth the point.

Anyone care to expound on that?
What, precisely, are you trying to accomplish with this comment?

Not really - a car made of solid granite would be impossible to set on fire, if useless as a means of conveyance.
Not true. It was very useful in Carmageddon.
As a weapon more than a conveyance, though.
Damn if that's not one of the best games ever.

Yea, I know I'm being a pedant, but these days it seems like you almost have to if you don't want to end up buried under metric tons of bullshit.
Finally, something Musk and I actually agree on.
MBA == waste of time and money.
"Hi Jared! I heard you like g-strings, and that your favorite color is red. There's a great sale going on at Victoria's Secret!"
FTFY.
