I can very much attest to this.

Now why do those concept art pieces immediately trigger thinking of Ghost in the Shell? Hmmm. Not that that’s a bad thing.

I assume you replied to JayFra by mistake, and wanted to reply to my comment (since I brought up SpaceX).

You forgot the following:

Wearing a bluetooth connected device on your wrist which will silently vibrate when a notification appears on your phone means you take out your phone to check for said notifications a lot less.

Sorry, I’m still not convinced. You can get the 60 kWh pack for less than the 75 kWh pack, even though it IS actually a software restricted 75 kWh pack.

But, butbutbut!!!

Yes, sure, just go from a 5-tiered pricing structure back to a 4-tiered one. Just drop the cheapest option and move every higher one down. Easy! Makes perfect business sense! /Sarcasm

it’s simple: Tesla has pricing tiers, based on range. Now, in the past, battery performance wasn’t all that great, nor was consistency in battery production, so you had to weed out the bad cells (which got used for the 60 kWh pack) while the better 18650 batteries were put into the higher capacity packs.

Not to take away anything Cory mentioned (having knowledge is one thing, but being able to convey it properly is another, he scores on both points) but all of the information can be learned by watching documentaries, reading books and/or wikipedia.

The thought had crossed my mind, I assumed wrong.

Get yourself a copy of one of the best rally simulators, Richard Burns Rally from 2004, and “drive” the stage yourself!

I dunno... Sometimes when you pull onto a road, with traffic coming, you want to accelerate hard untill you hit the speed limit. That’s often 80 kph here.

Once the babbitt dries, the machinest has to precisely remove the excess babbitt

Shitshitshit... You bring out the nostalgia!

Is it just me or is this a clear case of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect ?

It was a Porsche 964 RSR, driving in the Dutch Hellendoorn rally in 2013. And amazingly, the car was back in order for the next rally event little over one month after the crash’n’splash.
