That’s one of the advantages of EVs, though. So long as you have a place to charge at home, most people are going to start their commute at 100%.

Bradley, I logged in after a long absence to point out that a Mach E still uses resistive heating just like your leaf and they both have the same efficiency 100%. The difference is proportion (bigger battery) and likely insulation.
Here’s the doc for proof https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_in…

Pretty much every ev except the lower range leafs now have thermally managed batteries.

I got stuck on a highway once in my Model S on the way to Vegas when some guy decided to yard sale his travel trailer all over the highway on and it took a while to get it all cleaned up.

I think we were there for 4 hours.

Biggest…

so it basically used somewhere between 18~23kwh or so of electricity (give or take depending on which battery they had) to run the car. that’s about $5 worth of electricity. not terrible.

That airplane can’t dump fuel but for discussion; The FAA has set 6000 feet as the minimum altitude for adjusting gross weight within its jurisdiction.

I’m guessing as long as the EV has a way to keep the battery warm, it’s really not a big deal. 

Tells me this guy didn’t do minute one of basic research into how the FAA reacts to even an engine failure, never mind a crash. A friend had to land his plane in a field after he couldn’t get an engine to restart and the FAA impounded the plane (or at least the engine) for like a year. And that was a situation where…

I think you’re giving him too favorable of odds.

I wonder if YouTube can withhold any revenue he makes from the video if he’s found to have done this on purpose...

What I wonder is regardless of how long the FAA/NTSB investigations take, would there be other investigative agencies that want to investigate him to criminally, alongside the FAA stuff. I feel like the state of California has to want to make an example of this guy, especially considering the sheer risks of how he coul…

Imagine thinking people would not see that you did not always have a chute on in your other videos on the same channel, not recognize that jumping out is not how you handle engine failure, and not guess that your escape from the plane with a selfie stick was staged.

Well, he’s getting exactly what he wanted.  I’ve seen this all over the place in the last week or two. Now to learn that not all press is good press.

But why use a rocket instead of a plane or drone?

Writing this was a waste of your time

2022 DoD budget: $715,000,000,000
1 year of this program: $20,400,000
2022 NRO budget: $??,000,000,000

If Wild Kratts can explain the advantages of leaving the atmosphere to better deliver critical payloads around the earth to toddlers in a PBS cartoon, you can do better in an article for adults.

Holy cow, you really ripped that strawman a new one.

That’s why I stopped doing the insurance tracker after about a month. The way it was requiring me to drive was flat out dangerous in my area, especially around 5pm in stop and go traffic.

The single seat Metro does kind of kick ass though.

Is cruising slow in stop-and-go traffic to absorb the shockwaves a dick move now? That’s how I drive, as well as people in manual cars, and after about 10 minutes people will catch on and everything’s moving better
