tazzieman Posted 17November, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 17November, 2017 He's such a dork ! Someone should buy him the new Singer.https://thewest.com.au/business/automotive/0-to-100kmh-in-19-seconds-teslas-elon-musk-delivers-hardcore-smack-down-to-petrol-cars-ng-b88663907zIt can go from 0 to 100km/hour in 1.9 seconds. The billionaire boasted that the car will be available in 2020 as the fastest production car ever made.“The point of doing this is to just give a hardcore smack-down to gasoline cars,” Mr Musk said on stage.“Driving a gasoline sports car is going to feel like a steam engine with a side of quiche.”Me and my MAMIL & VOMIT acquaintances can't wait to have all these silent 0-100 in 1.9s cars buzzing about. They will also do 100-0 in 0.1 seconds. Don't overthink that one. Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will also do 100-0 in 0.1 seconds. Don't overthink that one. Musk is also not to smart. 0-100 in 1.9seconds is a constant 1.5G to get this he will need hot drag slicks on all wheels. The limit of a warm R compound street tyre on typical road surface surface is 1.1G or about 2.7seconds to 100kph. ICE cars do not have a power issue they have a grip issue and so will he. The big differance will be beyound 200kph where he will get creamed by the ICE power numbers. If he had balls (which I doubt) he would take on all the records he Konesseg has set, http://www.koenigsegg.com/koenigsegg-agera-rs-achieves-multiple-production-car-world-speed-records/ and on a single set of PS Cup 2 Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this pace, the company is on track to exhaust its current cash pile on Monday, August 6. "So long as the company is burning cash, it will remain dependent on the patience and enthusiasm of public markets or the deep pockets of a white knight," said Christian Hoffmann, a money manager at Thornburg Investment Management.

Troubleshooter Posted 29November, 2017 Report Share Posted 29November, 2017 Sorry Lee and other Sth Ozwegians .. Hope you've bought your generators... ""Australia, by the way, is a large island consisting underground of almost nothing but fossil fuels and other useful mineral deposits. The idea that it should be powering itself using bat-chomping, bird-slicing eco-crucifixes and then trying to store some of their excess power in lithium batteries quite defies belief."'

LeeM Posted 1December, 2017 Report Share Posted 1December, 2017 The irony of the SA Tesla batteries being switched on today, is that the local town, Jamestown, had a power failure today ? Could they use the batteries to supply the residents with power? Errr.....no ? The northern end of the CBD was in blackout today too which is twice in 2 weeks. $50-100million to be able to supply UP TO 30,000 homes with power for 1 hour is amaaaaazing! The government here are a laughing stock, yet the premier tosser thinks he's leading the way. Don't forget dickhead, your sports minister banned grid girls from the Clipsal street race to 'lead the way with equality' at the same time looking like fools to the rest of the world! And Lonely Planey voted Adelaides West end one of the coolest places in the world to live. Hmmm, funny that SA pays Lonely Planet to advertise, and is a sponsor of their LP's global advertising Premier Weatherill is full of shit, so is his battery powered white elephant Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to MWH delivered the diesel is a winner by a million miles.

By then it was too late, as the government had already ordered and paid for the generators! They also forgot to tell us about how much it will cost to run them....funny about that! ?

tazzieman Posted 2December, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 2December, 2017 For those of us currently enjoying a severely misty wet environment (it's summer!) , how will we feel sharing the future road with autonomous cars and their deskilled device-addicted pilots? Towing a caravan on the GOR . How about driverless trucks coming your way? On another note , what will power the tanks and ancillary vehicles in war torn countries the West "visits"? Huh Elon , huh? It'll be too hot for horses in most troublespots and anyway , where's the hay coming from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 2December, 2017 Report Share Posted 2December, 2017 It's a pipe dream....a biiiiiig loooong suck on that bong pipe dream!

Barks Posted 10December, 2017 Report Share Posted 10December, 2017 I drove a model X on the weekend at my wifes behest. I was very sceptical - until we did a full on launch in Ludacris Mode! 0-100 in about 3.2 and no noise other than our own expletives! Tried Autopilot but didn't like it! Its very hard to trust software with such a dangerous task! The works updates and patches keep springing to mind.
