on the contrary, to me, this is evidence that we’ve engineered the ultimate soldiers. nothing can phase them, not even a within-inches brush with death. they’re invincible ... as long as we can keep their devices charged Read more

I’ve un-ruined it, and I appreciate your friendly helpful attitude Read more

I asked Tadge about this, and he told me that in steady-state lapping, the car is designed to keep a consistent state of battery charge, and thus, pretty consistent power output and lap times. it’s programmed to be extremely aggressive about recuperating energy through regen Read more

for sure, and it’s fair to point out that GM has never presented the E-Ray as a fuel saver or enviro choice. it’s all about adding all-wheel drive with minimal mechanical complexity, plus a shot of instant EV torque Read more
