If we are talking about a quick test drive - the girl. Anything long term, I'll take the car.

I would take the car. Women are fleeting, and cars age much better than they do.

Cars age better then woman, Cars are always in the mood, can really put the rubber dwn, can do it slow or fast, look good evn the morning after.
Cars make women look good..that's why they have them in the car pictures..so its a matter of logic

FTA:
Power comes from a lithium-ion batteries that Rinspeed says is available in two different stack configurations - one optimized for short trips, the other for long-distance driving. Rinspeed doesn't offer any specs on the batteries or even say who produced them. Or how much they'll cost to replace ($15k++) in 4 years when they can't hold a charge anymore.

Fine... 2 years. I was feeling generous this morning.
And yes, I know Li-Ion. Every laptop that I have sold or serviced for the last several years has used them. That's several hundred laptops, that we track and take care of and know how long the batteries last and when they start to degrade and not hold a full charge. And yes, I know there are ways to maximize your battery life and life-expectancy, but there will be people using these cars and you can't expect them to always follow the rules about charging, recharging, etc.... regardless of what electronic controls you put into place. Don't forget that ambient temperature and operating temperature also affect these batteries and they they don't take too well to being over charged. So yeah, I guess I could use a little primer on these, seeing as I never work with them..... ![]()

few cars use the same Li technology as notebook computers.
don't assume that you have an engineering understanding of something because you sell or service the products that engineers design not meant to be unduly harsh, but that is it, bluntly p[ut |

Why not? You seem to assume to know everything.
And no, I don't want to read your credentials AGAIN. And you shouldn't assume that the largest consumers of Lithium Ion batteries don't try and extract better performance from their products. Your weak attempt to bring your eco friendly car fantasy here needs to be exposed for what it is. You're a troll.
