    I think you need to take a chill pill. None of us are putting anyone in more danger than the next guy.

    Wait, you know for a fact he's posting while driving?

    Ah, I really don't know then, lol. Those batteries are big business for Musk, what better way to get people to funnel money into your pocket than to remove Big Oil entirely?

    I agree, 100% electric isn't the answer. Is it possible to scale it down that small, not gain a bunch of weight/lose payload capacity and still make it competitive cost wise? I've not researched it much, so I'm interested in the research.

    So that’s a good excuse? Might be why the next guy is doing it too. Seems like that’s what I heard about drugs in high school. Just because everyone else is being a moron is no excuse for you to be one.

    Yes I have a pinched nerve but not from you. See you would have to get to know people to learn how to take them. Im not offenable. I see humor in everything. But you are coming off like the new guy that knows all, that guy never gets along with me.

    Hybrid systems would be fantastic, especially if they were applied with a "hill assist" type of feature. Big grade ahead? Hit the "hill assist" button and get an extra 1500 lbft of torque once you get into the bottom of the hill. Batteries will recharge on the way down the other side and on the flat ground.

    Don’t know all, but I do know that
    so it’s where the advice is coming from that you all don’t like. Not that it’s not good or correct?

    And if I may add, all they have to do is come up with an idea no matter how, well lets just say stupid it is and show it to a higher up and they justified there employment which inevitably ties the hands of the guy workin in the field!
