Ceramic coating the inside (rather than the outside) prevents the heat from being transferred to metal header as quickly. Just coating or wrapping the outside only prevents the heat that was already transferred to the metal from being transferred elsewhere.

Yes, that is entirely the point, that has been the point all along. Simple cycle NG, Coal, or even biomass/pellet, they all operate exactly the same. Many are even easily converted from one to the other, and these are the plants that supply 70% of our energy.

I think you just found the title of your next article, you lucky bastard. Come on, give us what we all want. :-)

Which is why Tesla felt the need to send letters to all of their customers, basically telling them to stop using the damned things so much? No, they are charging both at home and at work.

Believe me, you don’t want to dip into those muddy waters. Yes, if I so chose, I could delve into the statistics and come up with an answer after some hours, but to really make it fair....

Yes, and that is because it is a nuclear plant. You do realize what makes it a nuclear plant, right? And that is the very same reason why generally the entire plant is taken offline for maintenance:

Yeah, it isn’t like there are solutions for that. If only there were dedicated companies available that performed a professional job of ceramic coating the inside of the header, and wrapping the outside...

I’ve known many old, 80s-90s Toyota pickups with muffler issues that sound just like that, minus the BOV hiss, of course.

Finally, someone who understands the performance benefits of long tube headers, and doesn’t just slap some shorties on it because they saw an ad from a page in a magazine, or because that’s what their friend bought.

But not enough:

I can agree, but then....outside of the fusion unicorn hunt, there just aren’t any options. Well, unless we massively reduce population size to about half of our planet’s current numbers.

Actually, this started happening a few years after trucks and truck-based SUVs started becoming the average passenger vehicle.

Doubtful.

Apparently, you do not live in the U.S., and if you do, you must not have seen very much of it at all.

Not really.

That was my thought as well.

Actually, I thought it all looked pretty good, right up until they showed the rear. From there it just looks like one of their SUVs, albeit extremely lowered.

Remember the good ol’ days when all you had to do for braking was pedal backwards? And the epic kick-slides and drifting that could be performed as a result of so easily locking up the rear wheel?

I’m not saying that Tesla is at fault in this situation. In fact, it is highly likely that it is simple user error and the owner’s fault.

I’m glad you see the problem in all of its pandemic proportions. Clearly nannying every facet of life and childproofing the world hasn’t given us a satisfactory conclusion, and it very likely only exacerbated the original problem.
