Truckers go through road side weigh stations and checks with relative frequency, and a battery swap may not require you to get out of your vehicle.

Thanks for the back of envelope math - interesting.

Yeah, I agree. I think the core calculus is something like bringing goods from point A to point B in the cheapest, fastest, and safest way possible.

Why do long haul truckers need energy density?

I agree, but I think it should be more like a Model X than a diesel locomotive. Why not battery swap as opposed to transporting a turbine battery charger around that you fill with gas?

Recharging via turbine engine doesn’t sound that effective or revolutionary. This would seem like a perfect candidate for battery swapping, which I believe Tesla demonstrated they could do a few years back in about a minute or so.

Good call. Good job BMW.

I wish they would ditch the ICE completely, and add a few kWh to the battery pack. Otherwise it lacks the simple beauty of an electric, and feels like a bit of a compromise.

Good job Elon Musk. Thank you.

Panamera killer.

How many sequels did The Predator have?

When your self-esteem is particularly low, do you look at car porn of cars you think are ugly?

And the cited reasoning for logging:

I thought this was an article announcing a new episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and I let out an audible gasp when I read that Gary Shandling died.

In this situation, I’m down with OPP.
