• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Audi discontinues development of combustion engines

They will just run what they have for the next xxx years before going to full EV. I believe Volvo has said the same thing and Toyota is rumored to be going away from 8 cylinder for new Tundra.
 
I will always love the internal combustion engine, and it will always be better than electric in some ways...but the new Tesla going 0-60 in 1.9 fucking seconds has changed alot of my thoughts about electric. The speed, torque, and absolute simplicity (less maintenance) are far ahead of what internal combustion will ever be. Still, seems premature to stop its development.
 
I have a Tesla and an Audi. I'll probably sell the Audi and buy another Tesla soon. I've been hearing that Audi was going all electric soon for a while now, so I fully believe this. I'm pretty pumped to see what Audi can do in the near future with an all electric car.
