The problem is that “car salesman” is a career opportunity for douchebags.

A hydrogen tank at 700 bar has about ten times the energy/mass density of a Li-Ion battery.

Maybe it is about a white girl named Mercedes?

My Merc is the other way around. I wish to open completely, so I press down, wait, release - and it stops. So I press down, rinse, repeat.

Is... is that a russian car?

Fair enough.

I’m more confused as to why people see this like some kind of accomplishment.

You may just shrug about this, but I am partial to the very old swedish word stalp, which used to mean a sudden drop like a cliff edge.

Or, I suppose - when you are holding a steady speed:

Yes. I too only drive legally when in an incredibly powerful vehicle.

Motorcycles are tuned for power, not efficiency. High-strung valve timing means inferior combustion in the lower register, where it spends most of its time.

@_@

I’m more curious how fast it is using autopilot.

A veteran car is always an approved choice.

I love it heartily, but you can’t claim that this (production):

I suppose tires are the limiting factor, but I also suppose that holding a car straight at 140 m/s is also somewhat of a challenge. A shiver down the suspension might send you to oblivion.
