Dueling Drifting Tesla Roadsters

Tesla Roadsters eat snow for breakfast. The Tesla team in Europe has been having a lot of fun with their Roadsters over the winter months.

imagine if all car companies loved their products this much. Hell, imagine if everyone producing some kind of product loves their product likes Tesla loves theirs.

@taduikis1 Li-ion batteries don't actually do well at all in the cold.

Winters shouldn't be a problem for Teslas. I'm not sure, but cold weather helps cooling, li-ion batteries like coldness, battery weight on the back assists for rear wheel grip. Only problem would be that lots of precious power is used for interior heating..

@mannionion Toyota sells a prius with a diesel engine alongside the electric motor? Not in the US I bet.

@mannionion ...uh, they put lead in your fuel?

*checks mannionion's user profile, then myspace/bebo profile, then looks up Hinkley on Wikipedia*

The UK? That may explain our differences on what's acceptable. However there are towns of the same name in the US, but they appear to be much smaller.

with the prius, the fuel cell isn't really big, i think it's a 1.3 diesel engine.

if lead wasn't put in petrol then we probably would not see as many manufacturers making cars run on battery cells
