The word certificate implies to me that the whole hack is remotely executed. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the matter can chime in. Do local physical connections use a certificate, I presume something similar to an SSL cert, to authenticate the connection?

Maybe have it give:

So, when should we expect to see this on CL?

Interesting. I figured that trucking had similar challenges as the rail industry, as you stated, starting is the hardest part of the job. The smallish battery comment was a nod to the idea that a generator wouldn't be immediately available at all times and possibly add an extra electrical boost during a peak demand.

I'm surprised some form of hybrid tech hasn't taken hold in the trucking industry, I'm sure someone smarter than me can explain why this is a bad idea. When I say this I'm think more of an electric motor moving the wheels, with a smallish battery pack and a very efficient generator doing most of the electrical…

Can someone enlighten me? If the MGU-H is going to spin up the turbo to prevent turbo lag, would that just pressurize the inlet side and depressurize the exhaust side? I'm unsure if there is a waste gate or not, but if there is wouldn't it just pop that? Is that the idea? I'm filled with questions!

I get a Tundra feel off it, which I don't particularly care for. Maybe it's the curve from the grille to the hood, the slight bulge of the hood and what appears to be a sharp slope at the back of the cab.

This might have some legs with the urban truck owners, who's overall range is not so great that they couldn't charge the truck daily. Granted I don't see the fuel bill for theses owners being that high, which I imagine to the be the biggest factor for them to go all electric. Being in the ranks of the urban truck…

Isn't your discussion of "...charging for Teslas is now super fast." only valid if their charging stations are 265 miles from each other? I'm not knocking Tesla's station initiative, I think electric cars are the next thing. However, having the ability to "recharge" at existing infrastructure is a big advantage for…

Would you classify it as a zone of danger?

I'd tell you but it's a really obscure model from a brand you'd probably never heard of.

For some reason I thought this was going to be a similar story to the one early this morning.

I sense a new Lemons theme coming on.

The gas turbine engines used in the M1 are similar to jet engines, just the force is applied differently. The benefits over a traditional diesel engine are mentioned in this article (mainly less weight), but there are some significant trade offs in fuel efficiency.

If I had to guess it would be to indicate the status of the vehicle during an exercise, ex: Live or Dead. I'm no expert though.

Personally, the exterior is fine. Just throw a turbo on it, whatever upgrades the additional HP would need down line on the power train, better tires and keep it reasonably priced (sub 32K). If that means getting rid of some creature comfort then so be it.

Raptors. Or maybe that's because I want one and hope that if I had one, I wouldn't look like an asshole.

Are those speed holes?

Does he fit any stock model cars? Note, not SUVs.

My wife and I had a Vibe, the "domestic" Matrix, for almost ten years. It was and still is a work horse. Viva la Vibe!
