I don’t expect that multiple sponsors will be the main draw, for the reasons you mentioned. However an animated ad will draw more attention than a static one, so they could conceivably charge more for the same ad space for one sponsor.

Poor people aren’t buying $900 graphics cards any more than they’re buying $1200 graphics cards.

Not really. I’m talking about hauling trailers that come equipped with generators, not trailers that are just generators. Towing range is the last big hurdle EVs face, IMO.

I’ve been thinking for years that they should make trailers for electric cars that come with on-board diesel generators. 

Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying.

If you’re stupid and selfish while operating a forklift for your job, for example, they take away your forklift license, and the job you needed it for. What I’m saying is they should do the same for cars, and you better believe people would shape the hell up if they did. These things are trained in from birth (unless…

“Speed was a factor” is such a funny phrase to me. Yes of course it was a factor, if no one was moving, nobody would have ran into anything! Speed is a factor at 10 mph when a truck runs over a pedestrian!

I know some of those words.

That’s fair

When it’s hard to pass in F1: “Waaah there’s not enough passing in F1!!!”

I don’t know a lot about the specific regulations or modifications in play, but it’s stuff like frontal offset being weighted more heavily in one market vs. side-impact in another. Or CO2 vs. NOx emissions. Worrying about unbelted passengers or not. Subtle things that aren’t strictly “better” or “worse” in a way where…
