True, for tesla’s packs, yes. And any cohesive pack. They tend to be arranged in modules of parallel cells that are then wired in series to produce the correct voltage. But there’s no reason you couldn’t have individual modular fully wired in series to create the same voltage from several desperate batter packs, and…

Yes but a full gas tank is a much smaller portion of the total weight of a ice power train then a battery is in a electric power train.

On the battery point, you could even concievably have a modular system that would allow you to remove most of the battery capaciy for say a time attack or 1/4 mile run, and then put it back in when you need the range to drive home. Imagine being able to remove 80% of the weight of your V8 when it was time to do a hot…

The nice thing is that with smart charging tech that already exists, electric cars (that in real world use mostly just charge at home overnight) can fill up at off peak times and really just use the power generation capacities of the grid for more of the time—the current system is always designed to meet those peak…

But how often do you need that 350 mile range all at once? In most people’s normal use of a daily driver it’s parked most of the time, often at home. An electric car can fill up at home and wherever there’s a socket (and charging points proliferate every day) for pennies on the dollar of what a mile of range in a gas…

It’s making them exponentially cheaper that is the scary part. An attack helicopter is at the very minimum a multi million dollar piece of hardware, with 100s of millions more in required infrastructure, crew training and support, and ongoing operational cost.

Why electric power isn’t already the standard for local deliveries, buses, garbage trucks etc. is compeletly beyond me. Not only is it a perfect application for electric power, with short A to A trips, low speed and lots of stopping and starting... just imagine how quiet and diesel-fine free cities would be.

Hey by that comparison he comes out quite well, Hammond actually remembered to pull his chute and shut off the engine, while braking and counter steering. Those silly kamikazes always seem to forget to bail out.

Well I know at least in the jet car incident the crash was caused by mechanical failure, and the crew said he had the reactions of a fighter pilot for being able to hold it as well as he did. So I’ll wait to here what the investigation says on this one.

Also gasoline is, like, mildly flammable.

Or what’re ya gonna do, drive across this OCEAN?

Honestly they should be commended for having such restraint. Normal traffic flow is like 80-90 on roads like that out in eastern Washington. So keeping it to 100ish in your supercar is really just being a responsible citizen.

Yeah, gosh, dontcha just hate self sustaining free content. If only there were some way to skip through YouTube videos...

Moving is also expensive, especially if don’t have transportation. Not to mention how hard it can be to find affordable available housing near employment centers.

Not gonna lie, I always get a kick out of the Rudolph nose thing. The P1 can totally pull of the look

Oh that’s totally what’s happening. The rock is straight up bullet proof in one scene of this one.

Rebuilt title

Oh don’t worry it’s toootally fine that 99 will be a lane down, since they’re eliminating all the downtown exits putting 30,000+ more cars a day on surface streets. Not counting the poors like me who will probably avoid the tunnel because of the toll.

And yet bros complain that girls don’t want to go to races or car shows with them. Of course they don’t, if those places still feel like weird tire-smokey strip club.

Years of commuting by bus, train and ferry at all times of day and night has left me with quite a few good and bad stories, but I would still maintain that for the most part people who don’t ride the bus are way more afraid than they need to be. Most of the weird stuff that happens is just a great story.
