Recommended Posts

The first Carolina Panthers OTA session of 2016 is this morning. This is the first time the media has seen the NFC Champs on the field doing football related activities since the Superbowl. 

I will be there, follow @Carolinahuddle on twitter for photos and such.  

Please use this thread for other tweets, thoughts, this, that, the other.

No Paul Solai, or Kelvin Benjamin for the OTA's.  

GREAT START TO OTA's!  Hurray!!!!!!!

Yeah, because the first day of offseason activities is such a good indicator of how our season will go.

Remember what happened last year?

I just hate injuries.  

Yes, I do recall the shitting of the bed in the Super Bowl.  Thanks for bringing up bad memories.  Geez.

We don't know anything yet.

It's a little early to get upset.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
