Exige Adventure

Nottingham to the Arctic Circle!

@MalcolmRaw99915 @JohnLeePettim13 My understanding was that traditional steam turbine plants (coal, gas, or nuclear) all have the benefit of the mass of the rotor acting as a natural PF stabiliser.

@MunichLegends V10 - would make a good pairing with my i8 (very different ends of the spectrum)

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@BenJacksonTP My Exige is >£700 a year now. My i8 is free.

Result I tax the Lotus in the summer and drive it instead of the BMW as much as possible, including pointless evening drives, "to get my money's worth."

VED system is broken.

@ListerLawrence Normally the peacocks are on the inside?

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

Just down the road from me.

I just pray @elonmusk is personally held responsible for one of his Cara mowing down 11 people

0-60 is childish and ruins lives.

@BBCNWT As someone who has a lot of family in Tideswell this is awful - but their should be loads of data in the car about what happened @TeslaInTheUK @Tesla @elonmusk

[BBC East Midlands @bbcemt]

Six teenagers and five adults were injured, but police say none have life-threatening injuries https://t.co/wSj6RF25mb

@elecclassiccars Erm. It won't look like that if it's actually used.

If it remains a garage queen then might as well have left the engine in it from a CO2/environmental perspective.

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@PeteFlintMurray Sounds like a decision already made.🤣

Personally though I'd much rather a VW Up / Skoda CitiGo. They are much more like the original Mini, and an absolute hoot to drive.

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@PeteFlintMurray Don't do it.

If it's a second /third car for a bit of fun, why compromise on a warm hatch?

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Get something properly exciting.

@Birdies_Barolo @SawyerMerritt Bonus fact lead acid batteries are also one of the most highly recycled products on the planet. Far beyond current Li Ion packs!

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@Birdies_Barolo @SawyerMerritt You could buy LiIon replacement battery to upgrade a standard 12V lead acid.

Problem is the cost of the upgrade would outweigh simply replacing the standard battery when it expires.

Even Tesla uses 12v batteries (and yes they need replacing)

@gwestr @eric_young_1 @JustinList The people making sugar for Coke won't be "Dead within a year" either 😜

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@ElectrekCo @StanphylCap @llsethj Tiny is clearly subjective.

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@LukeB_MTB Real shame, I've had 3 bikes from them over the years.

The industry must be tough at the moment. ☹️

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@gwestr @eric_young_1 @JustinList No, I just don't think Intel will be allowed by the US govt to fail within a year, as they view onshore fab as a critical industry.

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@TeslaPaul1 @SawyerMerritt @Tesla Off to auction is my guess.

The auction partner, likely BCA, paid a carbon neutral broker to offset their operational CO2 via some opaque tree planting program.

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@gwestr @eric_young_1 @JustinList I disagree.

Intel is strategically important as an onshore fab resource for the US.

I think protectionism is going to bite globally, and this could see Intel end up as the shovel maker in an AI gold rush.

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@siedwardscamera @timpitt100 It's more a case of packaging the batteries.

The perceived need for range means consumers demand huge batteries, so the car has to be physically large to hold them (especially in floor-pan battery designs).

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@ElNinoSyd @Factschaser I agree they won't necessarily compete with the S/X. Maybe around the margins of X wanting something practical but not fans of the X's styling.

A 7 seater Y would be more in the target demographic for the Buzz.

[Exige Adventure @exigeadventure]

@ElNinoSyd @Factschaser They are already in Europe (big waiting lists here).
They are very expensive compared to the ICE equivalents - I bet VW are getting huge profits on each one they sell.
