  • @Scrallex The exhaust is rigidly attached to the motor which is attached to the chassis by a flexible motor mount. What you are seeing is the motor mounts flexing to reduce vibration in the chassis. "Clamp" the exhaust down and it would break the exhaust...

  • Did anybody else see the exhaust shake at 0:38

    Can Porsche not afford to put camps on there?

  • honestly i would have the tesla roadster just 2 have i mean sports cars dont get good mileage either. if i wanted good mileage i would buy the new announced model x which can get up 2 360 miles per charge

  • @Jemalacane Well I usually go by what I read and watch but hey, people that reply trying to outsmart me do tend to know everything. The way I see it, the technology hasn't been here for the last hundred years when the first EV was made, and it isn't here yet. Until the mileage (and I'm talking, real world mileage) get's comparable, the technology is properly developed, charging takes a very short time and prices/reliability issues are addressed, I will not support the idea.

  • @Buttnut105 Copper can be sourced from recycled materials as can nickel. We already have enormous amounts of both that can be used. Why would you dump batteries in the ocean or bury them? Recycle those bitches too.

  • You can take that Porsche Boxter to Hawaii? Wow, so the Porsche boxter even doubles as a boat? There are thousands of miles of water between mainland US and Hawaii.

  • cloth door handles? ew

  • @fizixs1 Are you supposing we stop developing the technology? It's not perfect yet, it's in its infant stage. It'll get better and more efficient. Batteries CAN be properly disposed btw

  • That Kim guy is just like the usual Liberal, environmentalist. Yet, nothing to say about the nickel those batteries are built with or the copper that's dangerously mined for it or the damage they cause being buried in the ground or dumped in the ocean.

  • @spiloFTW

    neith will the nickel thats mined from the earth , and the coal thats used to power the refinement plants, so how will batteries be made? and burying batteries in land and ocean sure sounds like a good alternative
