It often happens to me in Italy to see ICE cars that are parked and whith their engine idleing, Sometimes I also see cars parked with the engine idleing and without anybody inside the car! To me it looks like the owners of these cars are saying: "I don't give a damn about the Climate Change...

Today I was driving close to Rome and in front of me there was a Mercedes ML Diesel. So much smoke was coming out from the tailpipe of the Mercedes ML. I was disgusted from the scene that was in front of me. No respect of the environment with all that smoke coming out from the tailpipe IMO...

Today I was driving back home. I was on the motorway and I was overtaking another car. I usually drive at an average of 100/110 km per hour but while overtaking another car I reach 120 km per hour of speed (which is already higher than the speed limit but is allowed while overtaking) like I was...

I installed the Fuel Shark Device on my used Mercedes SLK to save fuel. According to my fuel indicator I made almost 20 km/liter at an average speed of 100Km/hour. It's fine! But I would like to know the opinion of my TMC friends also because the Fuel Shark Device is an American device and you...

I bought a used gas Mercedes and I found out that the Catalytic Converter was missing. :scared: This shows how much Italian people care (or it would be better to say "don't care") about environmental issues. :cursing:

Don't know if I am the first to post this news on TMC. Tesla Model S P85D Gets Price Slashed By $14,500, Range Now Listed At 285 Miles It looks like the price of the Model S P85D is very convenient now.

Agree. From this point of view I agree with Robert Kennedy who would like to issue a law to punish climate skeptics.

According to this article Tesla and BMW are allied to produce sport electric cars. :cool: BMW - Tesla alleanza elettrica per le sportive - Auto Sorry that the article is in Italian but you can easily translate it by using Google. According to BMW: “Entrambe le società si impegnano a...

I knew that Marchionne (FIAT CEO) was against electric cars but now he is really exaggerating! He is asking to American people not to buy the electric 500! :scared: Fca, Marchionne agli americani: - Il Fatto Quotidiano IMO even if FIAT is not making money with the electric 500 Marchionne...

I found this article showing how Mitsubishi thinks to implement Torque Vectoring on future cars. It's interesting the fact that Mitsubishi plans to place an electric motor in each wheel for this purpose. Solar thermal magazine

I would like to post a video by NHTSA warning not to text while driving. The article is in Italian but the video inside is in English...

Since the Model S is supposed to be (or to become) the best car in the world I would like to say that an option that IMO is missing now on the Model S is ventilated and cooled fronts seats if the Model S wants to be competitive with German brands like Audi and Mercedes. Since Elon said that new...

I am planning to convert to electric my old car (1999) and I was thinking that for the EV range that I wish I would need a 10 KWh battery pack. If I would like to use the light cells of the Model S how can I get such a 10 KWh battery pack? Hints and advices on this matter are welcome.

Check out this video. "Mistakes", lo spot neozelandese contro l'eccesso di velocitÃ*. Il finale è choc (VIDEO) IMO the accident shown in the video could have been avoided or mitigated in presence of a pre-collision automatic system. (The linked article is in Italian but the video inside is...

I was driving back home some minutes ago. I was getting close to a road intersection and I had the precedence. When I get close to road intersections I always slow down because I know that in Rome many people don’t respect the stop signal (expecially motorbikes). While crossing the road...

Cool! What about a new Tesla Roadster based on the Lotus Elise 2015? :cool: - - - Updated - - - Of course I know that the new Tesla Roadster (Model R) will be completely built by Tesla with a Tesla chassis. I only meant to suggest a possible design for the Model R.

With reference to this picture of a Model S slightly different from the real Model S I would like to say that I like very much the new bumper with different lights, the smaller side mirrors and the new wheels. What do you think about a re-styling of the Model S like this?

With reference to this article: 2014: Apple's crunch year to prove innovation chops I wouldn't like Apple to buy Tesla but I would like Tesla to work in cohoperation with Apple to develop and produce an i-version of the Model S. What do you think about it?

I was envious of my American TMC friends who changed the brake pads of their cars by themselves. So today I asked to Mariano, a friend of mine who is a professional car mechanical, to act as supervisor while I changed the brake pads of my mother's car. I performed the work of changing the brake...

Today I was walking in the center of Rome and I met a Ferrari employee that was showing the new Ferrari California. I asked him what is the price of the new Ferrari California.

I was stopped at a red traffic light in Rome today with my side window down. As usually at traffic light I switch off the engine of my ICE car (unluckily I still don't have an electric car I hope to get it soon) not only to save gas but also because I don't see the point to keep polluting the...

Actually it's not a matter of a game in my opinion. CO2 produced by ICE cars is responsible of temperature increasing in the world. As temperature increases ice at the North pole melts. As ice melts the salt concentration in the sea decreases. As the salt concentration in the sea decreases the...
