This has always been one of my favorites. This is a shot of Eau Rouge at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. On the left: GT class racecars. On the right: F1.

A quick search around the net has led me to DruckWerk’s Facebook page which led to these pictures.

Didn’t read the article or listen to the audio, is this what happens when you flush an airplane toilet too close to the ground?

And then you have Henning Solberg

I wonder how effective the warning flags really are there.

I’m not sure what you updated, but the first sentence of the article still says:

All of those cars are on a public road - do you normally wear a crash helmet on the freeway?

The mistake people make in touristfahrten is that they think they’re racing. It’s not racing, it’s just driving quite fast along a country road. As a result, the rule of country road driving applies - “stop in what you can…

While I am surprised that a mistake like this would have been made, I applaud any automaker that voluntarily recalls cars after finding a potential problem and owns up to their mistakes. I like a company that takes responsibility like that and it makes me respect Porsche.

They really thought that airline name and that symbol right after it is a good idea?

Turns out this isn’t stunt flying at all, just the pilot trying to outrun that music.

“it’s warfare out there for riders these days. almost like trying to engage a trump supporter without letting your blood pressure rise...”

I was there. No movie playing when the car came to rest. Impossible for truck driver to hear anything from the cab of his truck. I was there for an hour and he was never near the car. There was no sound coming from the car and I was right There at he car a minute after it stopped.

Legally, if the Tesla was on the highway, and the tractor-trailer was entering or crossing the highway from a smaller roadway or private drive, then the Tesla had the right-of-way and the tractor-trailer had the obligation to observe it oncoming, and wait until it passed before attempting to enter/cross. If the Tesla…

No, they just have good consumer protection laws. Tesla advertised the car at 695hp, when the battery limits the car to arund 500hp. This is false advertising which is not allowed in Norway.

The difference in this case is not drivetrain loss, it’s electrical delivery, and it’s more than an 18% loss.

The difference is that the P85D never makes the advertised 691 HP at any point. It’s peak draw from the battery is about 415 KW, or about 556 HP.

I was wondering why Tesla stopped publishing that near 700hp figure. Now its website shows this for P90D.

Seems counterintuitive to the "damage to the environment" ethos to render up to half a million vehicles inoperable, or otherwise destroy them, as part of the recall.

Because it’s bluetooth. Get a dark field RF mouse. It won’t disconnect and works on any surface. I had a BT mouse also, it was a piece of shit.
