>Tesla should, obviously, make a gas-powered car and innovate it.
you mean we might actually get a gasoline powered V8 that gets 200 MPG, like dodge built back in 1952, using a Pogue vaporizing carburator?
ICE cars operate at about 0.3% efficiency
99.7% of the energy stored in gasoline goes out the tailpipe as unburnt fuel and waste heat
increasing the efficience to 3% doesn't sound like an insurmountable engineering challenge, does it?
for those that can't do 5th grade arithmetic, that would translate to a 1000% increase in mileage, with no loss in power
prolly coulda had this 75 yrs ago, except that ALL the car companies are OWNED by the oil companies
can you say "CONFLICT OF INTEREST?"
