They got heavier relative to previous models... if you look at 1960 you see even 2 door coupes exceeding 2 tons...

yeah... norway may only have 5 million people (on which basis you'd call it small) but it's in no way out of space. most of the country has basically 0 people in it.
Well recall these are forced air induction two-stroke diesels, so if it's idling it probably doesn't have enough boost from the supercharger to burn all the fuel it's injesting. then when you throttle up it's going to burn all that off.
> the instrument cluster is clear and useful — it may be right from the donor motorcycle.
if only we had a simple way to make this calculation so we could have a realistic plot device?
If you watch his first video he notes he has range for about 53 laps. I imagine they drove it to the track and drove it home. I would be sort of interested in the watt-hours per mile average given recovery works well under breaking. the thing will average about 300WH per mile at 70 on the highway, if it was 600WH…
Despite having a dramatically lower CG then the corvette, it does weigh 4600 pounds so, yeah there are limits to what a 6.5 foot wide 4 door sedan can do in the handling dept.
they get even taller of course. all depends on the crop.
some incredibly lazy designer couldn't manage to integrate the touchscreen into the dash.
seems like it:
That milage is consistent with all-electric-operation... One imagines a responsible adult in traffic being about to go about 20 miles on 7KW of battery. A Tesla model S goes uses about 300 watt-hours of battery to go a mile for an equivalent energy content of about 89MPG US-cycle.
The most modern internal combustion engine is around 20% thermal efficiency. Even factoring in long distance grid transmission and then storing it chemically the power plant is more efficient.
Well, if I'm buying an adornment, I'm sort of unconcerned with the calbration of the oscillator, which is of course the essential conceit of this device, that it includes a built-in frequency analyer so that you can apply a correction. If I wanted a higher precision timepiece I'd just buy something that doesn't have…
obviously a cooked oxo or some other still more stable frequency source like a rubidium standard (never seen one quite small enoungh to fit in a wirstwatch but your milage might vary would be better, but random timex ftw...
Or you could use a quartz crystal oscilator, you can get <2 ms per day out of a super basic one or at least 5 x 10^-8 per week. instead of using a balance wheel/ escapement design from a previous century.
Some of us live in an apartment so that we don't have to deal with landscaping.
oh it's discontinued sure, but there was quite a lot of it laying around when that happened so large quantities of moderately expired film are out there at a non-premium.
instamatic 124 is not of course an instant photo camera, it uses 126 film which is a fairly straight-forward ebay purchase.
Wierdly, it's not being shipped the united states so you might reasonably conclude that they understand the market they're selling it into just fine. They don't appear to have trouble selling all the one's they planned to make, so I'm not really seeing the problem.
