87kWh at 430kW would give you 20-30min of run time, since it is not hitting full power for large amounts of the lap, and regen would increase that by around 50-60% I would guess.

I wish people would stop using the drag coefficient as a measure of aerodyamic resistance. It’s absolutely useless if not multiplied with the car’s frontal area.

Here in Germany, every police officer is armed, including those who conduct traffic stops. Patrols at high-interest targets like airports have been equipped with machine guns since the 70s, and patrol cars usually have one as additional equipment. Most states use the H&K MP5.

Aston Martin has a similar colour, and they actually call it “Kermit Green”

This thing near Stuutgart, Germany is the worst enemy of the “I don’t need to watch the signs, I have satnav” crowd

There are more drivers who could have done that, Verstappen was too impatient and made it easy for Hamilton.

The pole position statistic is a little skewed by changing regulations. Schumacher could have a lot more pole positions, but during his prime the rules required drivers to qualify with the fuel load they started the race on, and Schumacher usually ran heavier than the other contenders, because for a driver with a…

The idiots just haven’t figured out all the dumb and potentially dangerous things to do with EVs yet, but they will.

Well, they did. As the article mentions, they have had trucks running in customer fleets for years, collecting feedback from drivers and operators, and it seems it was good enough to launch it.

Just moving a toilet around little would have been no problem. I just read on a local newspaper website from there that they decided to change the height of the factory hall by several metres after submitting their application(apparently because they changed the production line design), and that obviously has massive…

For a project of this size, the law requires a period where everyone can have look at the plans and voice concerns that then have to be answered by the applicant and the respective agencies, which used about three months, Tesla knew that when they applied.

If I was running the construction or environmental agency I would answer with a press release that it could have been done a lot faster had Tesla sent in a correct, complete application the first time and stuck to that instead of changing it while it was being examined.

It’s not 16 months. The final application was handed in in June 2020, but Tesla chose to omit that information from their press release, along with the fact that they also had one rejected.

What Tesla didn’t say is that they modified or replaced their plans over the course of the 16 months, so the 16 months are more like 6, with officials having to check both the plans and the actual buildings for legality and conformity with each other before the factory is allowed to open.

It is not possible to directly calculate one number into another. Because the load factors and time shares for different speeds are different, each type of car will react different. For example, WLTP returns higher consumption numbers than the NEDC it replaces for EVs and small displacement ICEs, but almost the same…

Right now, Mick is in a perfect situation. The car is so bad that nobody expects even points, making the races no-lose situations, like Russel had at Williams in 2019, and it will hide if he takes some time to get up to speed like he did in F2 and F3. And as an added bonus, he has a teammate that collects all the…
