At least, we have to reduce it as much as we can and whenever we can.

Nice hardware indeed... Autonomous driving software just two years away, in the ineffable Torchwords?

You can also calculate the carbon footprint of a big oil company. It could just give you a bit of vertigo (and nausea).

Oh no! It would mean it’s possible, and she has a quite high visibility hasn’t she, meaning many, many people could do the same.

And therefore, it is not the wisest thing to burn tons (literally, metric ones) of the stuff just to move a few persons at a time, and better to keep its use for something really necessary.

Well, the Roadster being a flying car would sure account for it being due in (almost less than) two years. QED.

Well-done EV cars are definitely not boring to drive in twisties imho, but I’d rather EV swap something with a more mundane noise (4-inline) maybe? And with carburettors so that I can escape le bruit et l’odeur? (Oops, sorry for the french private joke)

For the multiple-ratios transmissions, the only practical need for an EV to have one is for very high speed, like a track car on a fast, Le Mans-style track. Only Porsche uses one (in the Taycan, not in the Macan IIRC) in production EVs.

I was totally on board with this feeling until a few years, driving a 20-years old ClioRS with a real spare tyre of the correct dimension, with a generous natasp motor with much torque and very little lag, without any ESP or whatever (the ABS was a bit crude though), and I felt really better than in newer, more expensi…

That, or we have become the spot marked AVOID AT ALL COSTS, 0 star on SpaceAdvisor.

I wouldn’t say like that : I know he fired from Eberhard to the SuC team, and couldn’t keep Rawlinson and many others, but he still had some vision until a few years ago.

If you want to tackle your emissions, the first thing to do is to replace cars whenever it’s possible.

In a Tesla, you can just switch your display from misleading km (or miles) to honest %.

Idem for the Tesla3/Y ones, they’re quite simple actually. The S/X electric ones might be touchier?

And another question : is this vulnerability relative to the passive RFID keycard, the active bluetooth key-on-the-phone, or the (active I suppose? Ain’t go any) key fob?

The study is at

> People will adapt to looking, rather than just listening, before stepping off the sidewalk.

That is Level2 automation in a nutshell : it actually increases the expectation on the driver, because it’s harder for a human brain to just supervise the machine and take control in the few cases it will make something stupid than to drive.

Perhaps at higher speeds, the fixed wing has enough lift to set the rotor pitch flat (with no lift), hence you don’t care much about that stall? That would still have a big drag, I’d think?
