Please go read the indictment, it’s not very lengthy or jargon-y. There are several charges which cover time periods spanning his leadership of the Trump campaign, before which he was acting as an undisclosed foreign agent of the pro-Russia/Putin Ukrainian government. It’s not an outright charge of explicit, direct…

If coefficient of lift doesn’t change, then it’s a very simple relationship, with lift/downforce scaling with velocity squared. For regular wings, this holds true, for this car? Who knows, what with active aero and all the other fancy doodads.

Couple of confusion points here. First, wouldn’t fins help stabilize at high yaw angles?

When you compress air enough, it heats up. If it heats up enough for the fuel you’re using, it will ignite the mixture, doesn’t really matter how you introduce the fuel - it’s compression ignition (I’m not saying that fuel introduction methodology doesn’t make an impact to anything, but compression ignition is…

It is compression ignition. I’m sure a cylinder pressure plot would clearly show why this engine is different, but it will probably be some time before anyone shares that.

You are not correct in this case. Please review some of the larger threads here. I am guessing a cylinder pressure plot comparison would should the difference.

Yeah seriously, that was an incredibly realistic rendering of combustion, especially in the spark-ignition cylinder, and in the exhaust tract.

Yeesh. You have a source? (I’m not doubting, just curious to learn more)

Don’t leave us hanging!

Having made the mistake virtually every time I try to start something, I immediately saw the fuel valve in the video and started yelling “open the petcock!” You caught it much quicker than I usually do :) Thoroughly enjoyable write-up, thank you!

So if you are experiencing no guilt, why are you discomforted enough to engage and respond? Why are you taking the author’s comments so personally?

With regards to basic automotive technology and architecture, I was surprised to see how similar the state of the art was in 1919 compared to today. Sure, we have computer controlled fuel injection and a higher level of complication, but mechanically, and on a fundamental level, things are essentially the same. Take a…

I was just reading a truck design book from 1919. Not a whole lot has changed, technologically, in the last 100 years. Things have just gotten much more refined, in large part due to the power of computers and solid-state electronics. I think you may be right about the future, though.

A large portion of the impressive current level of performance stems from increased computing power applied in the design stage, as well.

“They” will fondly recall the days before mandated autonomous driving.

Pow!

Lots of Tesla apologists here saying that this is totally normal and all car manufacturers start their production this way... Uh... Nope, that’s what preproduction trials are for. The level the Model 3 line is operating at right now looks like at least one-year pre-SOP at a traditional auto plant... Not three months…

Seconded

Wow I have never heard anyone say that before! Thank you for enlightening me, I will be sure to stay on the lookout for those rascals
