I aim to amuse. Have you ever seen the movie " The Ice Storm?" I used to live in the town where it takes place - really!

I don't think I ever understood the true meaning of "four on the floor" and variants. I think as a result of this discussion, it means gears for a manual transmission. Right?

So "can you give me a jump" is still in play then...:biggrin:
I STILL haven't gotten used to referring to "Key parties" as "Fob parties."
I thought the smoke was supposed to be from the tires, and so should still be applicable.
There is still oil in the transaxle that has to be changed eventually. Also the Model S has a radiator (front and center). It dumps heat for the water cooled motor, inverter, and on-board chargers.

oh MY!
I still use "hit the gas" even when I'm driving an EV. And I don't ask people how much kilometerage they get... I ask how much mileage.
I guess you Yanks don't have the latter problem...

As in "I fobbed off my wife to that guy down the street"?I STILL haven't gotten used to referring to "Key parties" as "Fob parties."

Now hold on - sorry if this has already been mentioned - in theory you can give someone a jump - 12V battery still works. As for smoking the M5 or whatever car, again in theory you could burn rubber from the tires - but you would probably need to do a software hack to get this to work. I agree you certainly aren't 'burning smoke' like with an ICE.
Side note - with DC motors and no traction control - smoking tires is a cinch - happened all the time (but sacrifice your clutch disk / clutch plate, and possibly your axles!)

I disagree with this one. This is still a totally valid question but the answer of "my golf clubs and a change of clothes" will certainly leave them confused!

You should be ashamed of yourself ... that pun was terrible(ly) bad / good!!!
Best one I ever heard ...
newspaper runs a contest for readers to write in to get a prize for the best pun. First ten considered.
After all ten entries were received ... newspaper declares no winner ... "no pun in ten did".
