Fisker Has A New Tesla-Fighting Car
yahoo news

It appears the car company Fisker actually has a future again. After years of seemingly like they were done, Henrik Fisker posted an image to his twitter previewing his new electric sedan.

Not much information has been released, so most information people have is what they can see in the picture, or the few tidbits that have been released to the press. The car has two sets of butterfly doors. We'll see if those actually make it into production, but as of now, they're pretty cool.

Henrik Fisker did send a letter to a few select members of the media that detailed a few more things about the car, according to Business Insider. The sedan will be mostly built out of carbon fiber and aluminum and will offer a roomier interior than its closest competitor, the Tesla Model S.

Clearly, they are gunning for the Model S, especially since Tesla really doesn't have any major competition.

Fisker even told Business Insider last week, "I think it's pretty clear when you look at the market, when you look at the premium market, there's really only one company that it out there, and it's Tesla."

Sure, most major companies offer an electric car or a high-gas mileage hybrid, but none of those cars are exciting. No one says, "Damn, is that the new Focus Electric?" or "No way! Is that the Chevy Bolt?"

According to Business Insider, the new Fisker will use cutting-edge graphene super-capacitors inn lieu of the lithium-ion batteries used by most modern electric cars. The estimate is that the sedan will have a range of 400 miles or more.

Pricing hasn't been released, but a safe estimate is that this car will be around the price of a high-end Model S, if not more. A price of around $100,000 is a safe guess. However, Henrik Fisker does have plans to eventually release a mass market electric car with a starting price below that of the Model 3 and even the Chevy Bolt.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
