Formula E........

It's like watching a slot car race.
Run a few laps and change cars. Total joke


He wanted to see electric race cars. Formula E is electric race cars. Not sure where you're getting the slot racing thing. Formula E = 1 car/driver, they've got to finish the race on 1 charge. Races are ~80-100KM total.

Nah, the Tesla S long range has a mathematically accommodating battery pack of 100 KWh. At the national residential average of 12.7 c ents per KWh, that’s $12.70 to fully charge.

Even IF we reduce the stated range of 384 miles to your 250 miles, that’s closer to 4 pennies a mile.

Really ? Seems awful high....

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

electric cars are really communist sh it. the electric grid is 100 years old and cant handle the load it has now. can you imagine millions of electric cars drawing power. instead of bombing and invading countries for israel US could have upgraded the grid system. the one guy here talking about how far they went but that is the best the new car will do being battery life and range will go down with each recharge. faster charge will mean less battery life. what is never talked about is what about all the road tax on gas which is 52 cents a gallon state and federal that will not be collected. can you imagine what that adds up to in the US just for a day? they will tax our brains out to make up that money

Like any other heater.... with a very large power usage that will decrease the miles you can travel.
