The problem with the clean sheet was that Boeing was caught napping by the A320neo, which could be flown by exisiting A320 pilots and offered 15% better fuel efficiency. Had Boeing been developing either the Max or a new plane, they would have had a competitor launching within a reasonable timeframe, but as they had…

The market could be become a bit cuban, especially if EV prices don’t go down massively, and the charging network isn’t expanded sufficiently, which is almost guaranteed with the small investment.

Back then we also had privateers, and the privateers won races. A Porsche RSR was €350k. Nobody talked about BoP. Then someone decided we needed deregulation to increase brand diversity, and now the privateers are long gone, manufacturers showed up and left again, cars are €900K, and I am also missing a lot of the…

The race isn’t off because the officials stole state secrets, but because the dude running it got arrested, so F1 has no one to organize the race.

Also, the I-Pace is too expensive. It has similar interior size to the ID3, but costs twice as much.

The current BMW 30e models do have that electric range. With those cars you can do the grocery/school run/commute electrically, and still road trip easily

They either bought the adress from some shady source that stole a list of signed up adresses from some website, or someone signed you up as a prank.

If you imagine two identical powertrains, but one with a cooling target temperature 30 degrees lower than the other, the lower one will need a higher air mass flow to meet its target. As electric motors are usually limited to 80-90°C before the magnets suffer, and battery cells start to suffer above 60°C, while ICEs…

You shouldn’t underestimate how much long-haul trucking is happening in Europe. If you drive on the A2 in Germany, a significant part of trucks are foreign, usually operating between the ports in Germany and the Netherlands and southern Germany and eastern Europe. Stocking grocery stores or collecting garbage is…

There are still no long-haul capable electric trucks in sight. If you build the battery to max out the allowed drive time per day, you are still looking at losing 20% payload(by weight) for a standard semi. And Diesel trucks have the about four to five times of that range.

And to make it even more confusing, Volvo owns Renault Trucks

They probably need the grilles for cooling. The gap in actual cooling power requirement is not as large as electric car designers try to make people believe, as electric powertrains need to be kept at lower temperatures than ICE engines, eating up a lot of the efficiency advantage. As trucks are build to work all day,…

Apparently in 2016 many polls were off because people were too embarrassed to say they are voting Trump, so if you want a conservative estimate, count every state with a gap below 4pts as Trump’s

They are basically a less organized version of the SA. They are doing everything the SA did before 1933, just without a proper command structure and brown shirts.

If the current administration was a bit more comitted and coordinated, you’d already be looking at more than eight. The US democracy is definitely more vulnerable than the Weimar Republic or post-Soviet Russia were, and has relied on always electing decent people throughout its history.

The difference between this and Nico is that Nico walked away in the middle of a contract, while Lewis has no contract for next year.

Nico still had more mechanical DNF during their time as teammates, pretty daft to call him lucky for winning the championship.

Apart from the batteries taking up a lot more transport capacity

The track map is giving off serious Buriram vibes, which means it would be infinitely more entertaining to send David Attenborough into the forest.
