EV versus ICE: Deer in the Headlights

[Dragon]

But did you make it to the 'hot tub' ? :redface::love::biggrin:

Uh no, watched it now on Youtube. Just three letters: WTF?
I didn't complete much arcade games. Had to spare money for the Roadster.

 

[Dragon]

Hahaha. Holy cow, that has to be the stupidest sign I've ever seen.

I don't know about that. If there really are falling cows, the sign is clear: Get the your butt through this section of road fast!

 

[TEG]

In the sign, the vehicle on the bottom looks like a 'steam roller'. (One wide wheel.)

 

[Dragon]

I don't know about that. If there really are falling cows, the sign is clear: Get the your butt through this section of road fast!

Don't know, but I'll bet that first cow was the only one stupid enough to fall down there.
Well, should I buy a hard top, just in case I have the need to drive on a road with falling cows?

"falling" or "suicidal" cows? Rabies? :wink:

I wouldn't worry. The Roadster is so fast you'll be past the danger zone before the cow can hit the ground. :biggrin:

 

[vfx]

Cows as lemmings?

 

[Dragon]

I wouldn't worry. The Roadster is so fast you'll be past the danger zone before the cow can hit the ground. :biggrin:

But what when the cow starts falling and I don't see her because the Roadster is so low? Maybe I'll accelerate right into it.
Man, that's a real concern now. We have many cows here. I'll have to check all streets for ropeless cow-bungee-jumping.

 

[EV_de]

no chance if they come in masses ...

You have to drive under the cow, between the legs.

The roadster being so low just gives you more time to get past. The lower the car is, the farther the cow has to fall to hit it, and the longer it takes. -- But since I don't have mine yet, I don't know how much sky you can see through the windshield, so I don't know how far away you have to be to see the cow as it jumps.

 

[NigelM]

The cows here all wear bells around their necks; is that because their horns don't work?

 

[rsquared99]

I suspect that these cows are not commiting sucide or falling off the cliff, but rather from the Gasland thread report, they are being launched by exploding methane tanks strapped to their backs.

 

[TEG]

Cows as lemmings?

Sure, why not:
Police baffled as dozens of 'suicidal' cows jump from cliff in the Alps

I note you did not link the picture here....

 

[vfx]

By the way. Reading through that thread that TEG linked is the truth behind lemming "suicides". Some trivia that I never knew. It's untrue and it's a Disney lie.

 

[TEG]

Made me think of "Soylent Green is People".
Perhaps those cows heard a rumor about what they serve at McDonalds...
