Are you okay? Blink twice if you need help.

Thanks to aeroelastic flutter, you probably won’t even need to hit a bump to get some horrific noises out of those door panels. If they’re not willing/able to add creases to increase the panel rigidity, I hope they have free space for a ton of hat channel.

Thank you for actual technical talk instead of Elon bad or Elon good.

I’m surprised Musk hasn’t twitted exactly that.

Both springback and crumpling problems are the result of faster work hardening in stainless steel relative to carbon steel. The crumple zone thing is just a math problem. You can certainly account for decreased plastic energy dissipation in the structural design. But if boy wonder already had a product launch before…

It’s almost like Elon Musk is a dumbass with the intellectual depth of a 9 year old and only knows about stainless steel because it’s what the DeLorean from Back To the Future was made out of and it would be le epic bacon if his meme truck was made out of the same thing. 

Wreckfest can get away with it because its cars are not licensed.

“Reflecting”. Yeah, I don’t actually agree with that. A lot of the Legends cars seem artificially inflated even compared with real life. Then some that are “priceless” (like one-off race cars that aren’t even for sale in real life) are actually pretty cheap.

You just read an entire article explaining why damage is less prevalent and realistic than it used to be, ignored the entire thing, and said the only reason is because developers are lazy?  Ok...

I’d refrain from calling devs lazy — there are a host of reasons why the status quo is what it is, as we’ve discussed. The point about visual damage indicating aero problems to other racers is a good one, though. That’s why it’s also important for visual damage not to be totally client-side — all players should see…

We laugh, but with GT7's secondhand car prices reflecting actual car prices, I could see the devs going the extra mile to convey the proper Ferrari owner experience.

Lurking on the Gran Turismo Reddit, I came across a post venting about which cars can/cannot be turbo/ supercharged, which led to this gem:

Once you’ve experienced real soft-body damage everything else just feels like a cheap gimmick.

Seriously?

Yeah i just filled up our ICE (RX400h) and at 25mpg and $4.70/gal it’s $0.19/mile. Just the ICE number sounds suspiciously low. You’d need to average 30mpg at the US average of $3.40/gallon which isn’t really representative of the ICE fleet (it’s more like 25 mpg)

the EV is running on $0.36/kwh and gets about 333…

I hate DeSantis too, but yea, I think American citizens should have priority in buying land and property in their own country over foreign entities. But all foreign entities. Not just China.

I feel disgusting for having to agree with that piece of shit DeSantis but I actually agree with banning foreign entities from owning land / real estate within our boarders.
I’ve never heard a good reason for allowing this and as it stands there are so many vacant condo’s in Boston owned by foreigners as investments.

A…

Yet he won’t loose the support of anyone who voted themselves out of a new job. But at least they’ll have a lot of time to congratulate themselves about how they stopped CRT from (*not) being taught in elementary school.
