I believe MotorIQ has a time attack Model3 and it can only do 1 lap at full power. That's what happens when you power cars with electric women's toys.

Most modern "sports sedans" do absolutely nothing for me from a driving enthusiast perspective. Give me a naturally aspirated, 2 seater with a manual transmission and a loud exhaust or give me a fucking EV. That's basically where I'm at these days. |

I also wonder what kind of side effects will do to multiple times fast charging and fast discharge on the battery for a track day.

Could also do a nuclear powered car- since that radiation isn’t really a thing. |

Maintenance throttle is where you are applying enough throttle to get a slight acceleration to keep the car neutral front/rear which will help you corner a hair faster. You aren't quite decelerating in a corner (you should of already done your braking before the corner) but you are wanting to keep the car settled where you put it when you set up the turn, so you apply a touch of throttle. I drive 3 pedal cars on the track mainly so I wonder how hard it'd be. One day.

If the EU and British allow this cheap EV take over they deserve what they get.
This is a refreshing Top Gear reminder of British Automotive Nationalism. Should remind everyone of what is at stake here. British made motors take over the Mall | Top Gear - BBC |

That being said I have taken it to NC a couple of times and I don't mind it at all. We usually go in the Cayenne and it pretty much takes us 12 hours unless we get some crazy traffic. In the Tesla also takes about 12 hours. We stop regardless especially traveling with 2 dogs. Once up there it's more of a pain because I have a detached garage with no power and closest supercharger is 30 min away. So if I was there all the time I would probably skip the EV or more likely just have power ran to the garage (which I may do anyways). Quote:

This is a CEO who definitely shoulda been fired. Ivy league MBA probably with the common sense of roadkill.

Read the first comment and you can watch people measure it on Youtube. I have a Trifield meter I bought ($2XX on Amazon) and you would be BLOWN away at what you can find. Microwaves, despite being advertised as safe, blast RF, Smart meters are basically off the charts. Even cell phones are unsafe, yet people put them in their pockets without a thought. |

This thread is deeply amusing as an exposition for those amongst us who suffer from crippling fears and anxieties.
And yet, generalized anxiety disorder is very treatable. There is no reason for so many of you to stay so brutally fearful. Life is good. |

I think it's time we check AmuroRay's freezer for human heads. He's gone off the deep end, possibly worse than Weather Man and Car-Addicted.

Also, I've always found it amusing that those touting these strange and obscure concerns like cell phone and EV EMF/radiation and such voluntarily do unhealthy things like eat junk, are overweight, and consume known cancer-causing foods, alcohol, take drugs that have known serious side effects, don't exercise, etc. EMFs and such are nothing compared to the overall lifestyle you choose to live.
