I disagree. I posit that a female butt dyno would be more sensitive, and thus give better results.

I'm just trying to understand how the Karma and Model S acceleration could feel the same. A female butt dyno would not make that mistake EVER and therefore is useless in this discussion.

To "female .. not make that mistake EVER", I have no comment. (And I advise other gentlemen to defer as well.)

Hence the butt-dyno. It's about how it feels.

Really you guys never heard of the butt-dyno?
It's an essential measurement tool for all shadetree mechanics. It's how you test your performance mods, like the Vornado or that cheap turbo kit.

When I get back from the store all this off topic stuff is going into the nonsense thread.

... and here I thought all of the chat during our 3 day build off for the Red Bull Creation Challenge was random. Ya'll all need supervision.

That article is spot on.

People who were buying Motorolla, samsung, nokia & others did it not because they didn't want an iPhone, they bought it because they could not afford the real thing. Same thing will happen to the electric car industry.

I have purchased two HTC, and one Nokia smartphones after the first iPhone. Price had nothing to do with my purchases.

I bought the very first Android phone HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1 in the USA). (Cost me ~$400 I think, I didn't have a contract)
I bought the HTC HD2. Perhaps the most versitle/capeable phone ever made. My personal phone has run Win 6.5, 2-3 Versions of Android, WinPhone 7 and 7.5. ($550 cash, again no contract) I still use it as a mini-tablet.
I now have a Nokia N8. A true point and shoot camera with a cell phone attached. And the best antenna I have ever seen. (Cost right now is $300 for, a 2 year old, new phone that runs a 'minor' OS)

I have never wanted an iPhone. And I am willing to spend on a phone. Right now I am holding out for a Nokia WinPhone8.

What I said was what's called a generalisation or something like that.

You have more money than the average joe and clearly don't like Apple. I did not have your profile type in mind when I wrote this.
