Hmm I thought that electrification was common knowledge by now but I do apologize for not clarifying the term for you. Electrification is the powering of motor vehicles by an electric motor(s). Ford just fired their CEO Mark Fields because he was moving too slowly on product electrification and autonomy for the Board of Directors. With the new battery technology that has become available this is finally a lasting solution. The new Tesla battery pack retains 95% of its capacity up to 200k miles which is fantastic news. I only wish that I could afford a Model X P100DL.

The new model s p100dl does it in 2.3 seconds and the lucid air does it in 2.5. Even the econobox model s does it in around 5 seconds and comes with rear wheel drive standard with 4wd optional. These are exciting times indeed.:D

Have you seen the LS-218 ?
http://newatlas.com/lightning-ls218-review-ls-218/36470/
0-60 times somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0
I think im actually a little afraid of that one..

"Either way, from about 30 mph, full throttle engages a heart-stopping warp drive that freezes my blood in my veins. The world just blurs as the LS-218 hurls me at the horizon, I'm hanging on for grim death and feeling my eyeballs get forced back into their sockets. I'm breathing raggedly within a few corners, my heart hammering against my chest. The acceleration is just unbelievable. I've opened the throttle on plenty of open-class superbikes, but nothing throws you into the future like this thing. Nothing."

Why would it be sarcasm?

Fuck the libtards was the last election.

Meanwhile the GOP is back to their standard game plan. Cut anything and everything that could hurt high rollers that are lining their pockets, and increase military spending.

All under the guise of sticking to the libtards.

And if the "libtards" didn't act so hateful, contemptbile, and hysterical every second of every day, there would be no motivation to "stick it to" them :)

Giving them tax cuts are your expense? Yeah, real good job "sticking it to them." You fail at that too.

Tax cuts for rich at expense of their own health insurance is only half the joke. The other half is these tax cuts are focused on corporate profits, capital gains, and dividends, which are financial rewards for firing workers and replacing them with robots. Effectively, reducing corporate tax rate makes it more expensive to hire someone, since the company can save less on taxes by doing so. These people are giving up own health insurance to reward elimination of their own jobs.
Anyways, keep sticking it to us liberals.

It would really be one of the funniest jokes of our time if there weren't innocent people who didn't vote against their own self interest caught in the crossfire.

Instead it's just a little funny watching drooling idiot trolls like Roflmouth think they're "sticking it to the libs" by transferring even more wealth from flyover country to liberals on the coasts. A little funny but mostly just sad.

Taxpayers getting to keep more of their own money isn't done "at my expense." You're free to donate some of the nickels you earn for dancing in the street in your underwear to the federal government sinkhole, however.
