Well, that’s the other guy’s problem lol, didn’t see people complaining about being behind the Chaparral 2J did we? wait...

Vent the air upwards for downforce, duh lol.

Yeah, iirc it had a natural gas turbine onboard to generate the electricity, so it was actually a hybrid. That said, it’s honestly an extremely efficient setup, since you can run the gas turbine at peak efficiency to charge the batteries, and only run it at peak efficiency.

Yes, the Nikola semi truck (vaporware?) is designed around a 320 kWh pack, it’s basically 32,000 18650 batteries smushed together. Its massive, but it should be, its commercial vehicle oriented. Until we can increase power density significantly beyond the constraints of the 18650 based packaging, 320 kWh will likely…

Well he mentioned a few different form factors for the batteries, I’m thinking there for instance could be for instance 6 classes of battery. Smallest could be a 10 kwh, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 kwh packs. Packaging then becomes much easier, a car with a 120 kwh rating could hold three 40 kwh, or an 80 and a 40,…

I watched them flood from the “holding” pens toward the stage from atop the Turn 9 Grandstand. People were going nuts for her.. Shame the audio was totally out of sync with the video from that far.

You forgot the most important part... When all’s said and done, please don’t move here. Go away.

Ah Mi Gahd! I’m so excited!

I’d assume too. Said the volkswagen engineer.

While CO2 is not the only pollutant, emissions of it give a somewhat usable scale of pollution output when comparing different modes of transportation based on their emissions, especially with the level of combustion completeness and stoichiometric efficiency.

Good answer! Noise pollution is a serious problem, what with all the ringtones and crap. We could all use more snarling 4.3 liter V8 in our lives.

Well then isn’t that wonderfully silly... I love it.

I’m assuming it doesn’t however skip the catalytic converter right? Are there any ramifications of the environmental kind as a result?

I mean, it’s not like the orphans can continue to buy new Mercedes after they splatter all over the old one. Makes sense to save the person who can keep paying for new stuff. Hail corporate.

Those jerks... with their fancy testing and crap.. I just don’t like Bunny’s ok? Especially pink ones...

Eneloop or nothing. They are the best AAA and AA batteries you’ll find. They’ve got a “Pro” series too, comes in a black wrapper, little bit higher capacity in exchange for less lifetime recharges. so like 15% more capacity in exchange for only being able to recharge it ~500 times instead of the normal ~2000 times.…

Check out EagTac, they’ve been knocking it out of the park recently.

Yes, this please.

Annnnd thats how I feel on my birthday...

Ugh... seriously...
