corner entry was hamilton car front left, midline to verstappen car. Hamilton has a right to the corner
hamiltons car is midline of verstappens car on corner entry.
this pinballing thing?...where do you see that, as i don’t see a single video out there that shows hamiltons car change direction by any amount at all, nor do i hear any racing commentator say that either.
4.18 million miles of roads in usa... and you want a post every 5 seconds..at 60mph, thats 12 posts a mile... 48m posts. motorways..48,440 miles.. that’s 600,000 posts....in your world multiply that 12 posts a mile by >10x
And these posts cannot be simply passive with comms, the road shape is the least dangerous…
This is the most stupid article i’ve seen in a long time. Even some basic maths would have saved jason from writing this garbage...a matching Tesla S 2250kg car made entirely from these batteries would only have 47kwh, instead of the current 100...and when you take into account the tyres, rims, motors, glass, seats,…
i like it...it is the electric cab fwd style, well proven. But those gates on the sides, and drawers, etc...cost a fortune, and murder the structural rigidity, unless you have a rigid skateboard with a whole vehicle chassis on top, which defeats the purpose also.
Just make it look like that, tailgate, power plugs, with…
why bother, its an $80,000 instant loss, just buy an older 6 speed V8 or M5, and have fun, you’re going to get trounced by a plaid+ anyway.
the skin is the chassis..its effectively a monocoque
20,000lbs of batteries?...where did you get that number?
6000lbs of batteries could offer 3000 lb-feet of torque, and or 2400 hp, and about 800-900kWh
If the amount of batteries were as you quoted, they couldn’t sell the semi at under $200k.
agree...another real issue is battery supply at prices required to make cars.
In effect, an EV car maker has to be able to make a battery factory, or its then reliant upon market forces.
batteries at US$1,183 per kilowatt hour in 2010, and $380 in 2015 were that reason for not making truck battery systems...but now at $100-ish...its game on.
Presume it’s said in jest.........
:We can probably stop with the quarter mile time obsession now. It’s just gone too far. Nobody needs a car that can do 0-60 in under 2 seconds. It’s absurd that anyone with $150,000 can just place an order for this level of rolling vehicular manslaughter from the factory:
As nobody…
err... the skin is the chassis, so, add another 800 for stuff/ fun, and 1200 lbs of battery and 300 of motors, wheels, shocks at 500, and your 300lb tailgate, throw in another 500 for a laugh, ...and you roll in at 4600lbs..hell, add another 500 for other other things, and its still 5100 lbs...with 500+ torques....…
well, 2 weeks and 250,000 orders later, that was a massive FAIL
you are right, i looked it up, and know understand more about battery chemistry. Thx for the info
thank goodness you chirped in...as i’m sure that they completely forgot about that, even thou the S and 3 and ultra slippery, and they have a related company that makes rockets, who likely don’t know anything about aerodynamics
professional car designer?....
?..how do you think they towed the trailer?
torque is torque, that is the rating system
Teslas start at 500+ lb/ft, flat across the rev range. No ice can compare
