This should be attempted murder. If the person in the red car was just 4 feet further forward, he/she would likely be dead. 

I’m not sure of the efficiency of this thing, but to give you an idea, a first gen Chevy Volt has a 11 kWh (usuable) battery and gets about 35 miles of real world range. They also weigh in at close enough to 4000 lbs. This thing, as mentioned, has a 15 kWh pack, so using the same math, could potentially get up to 47…

I’m really surprised at the power output of such a small battery. 15kWh at 800V means it’s only an 18.75 Ah pack. At the 820KW rated max electric only power, that means the system is running at about 1,025 amps (itself a wildly large number), and that the battery is discharging at 1025/18.75 = 54.6C, which itself is a…

Because it will be significantly cheaper

This is an incredibly detailed write up, well done and thanks for putting it together.

Didn’t think we’d see the day. Really excited about this. Hope it comes to fruition.

Honest question: why does putting a deposit down end up making you act as an unsecured creditor? What if I was to place an order for a full car with full payment that was to be delivered in, let’s use two cases of 89 days and 91 days - what would my pecking order be with regards to getting a refund (or ie my money…

So are we just going to ignore the space shuttle that was off to the side 

Eh, epoxy resin (which is probably what they’re using) is very inert once fully cured. It’s a very common liner for the interior of tanks in the chemical industry. so even if the entire thing was made out of cfrp, im sure it’d be fine

Honestly, I feel like any ‘militias’ showing up to ‘protect’ the polls could actually boost voter turnout. It’s not like they’re actually going to disuade people from voting if those people have already made the effort to show up at a polling location. What WILL happen, though, is the few places at which these guys do…

The US consumes only 10 million gallons of gas a day? That can’t be right...

Lol is this a painting? Amazing

Is the Raytheon list comprehensive? I could find SSN-700, the USS Dallas, on the list under the LA class.

I think the most surprising thing about all of this is that the army measured the distance travelled in meters

The only out of the ordinary thing about this engine is that it uses a centrifugal compressor in its final stage, which is a throw back to the first jet engines of the 1940s.

HEB is far from having a grocery store monopoly in Texas. Its monopoly only applies in the Austin metro

Man, those turbo v6s really are quiet aren't they
