Most domestic dogs have Williams Syndrome so that tracks.

Millions of times more processing power than that code needs to run, at that.

Every vehicle I’ve had with an electric parking brake operated the same way. Hold the park button while moving and it starts clamping the parking brake down, let off the button and it starts to release. So you can basically PWM the parking brake in an emergency.

You are they lucky one today! Here is just the video for all your dishwasher woes!

Was pretty interesting seeing the Gen3 car they had in the fan area at some of the Formula E races last year with no rear brakes. They still had front brakes (article states otherwise, not sure if they meant rear or if there was some later change I am not aware of).

At any rate, definitely exciting to see the performance levels starting to eclipse the combustion counterparts while being lower cost.

Another likely reason for the engine 2 compressor stall is due to debris from the left wing being ingested. Either way though, as you pointed out, it wasn’t going to fly on one remaining engine with that takeoff weight.

Unfortunately it only had older still photos and videos, nothing from the last dive. Looks like they had the camera configured to send the data to the onboard computers and those were smashed into a soild mass, of which, no data was able to be recovered from.

That site is something special… Basically lobbying against renewable energy, promoting “the hydraulic fracturing revolution”, and stating how bad an Obama policy was in nearly every article.

Appreciate the link, I didn’t see the website was in a repository. I opened an issue.

Looks interesting but I am curious about their ‘Community Survey’ results, this line in particular:

From this we can see that the majority is currently running on Windows (47 users across the various versions), followed by Linux users across a few different distros (57 users across Mint(9), Ubuntu(13), Fedora (3), Debian(13), FlatPak(5), Mageia(1), Slackware(2), Arch(9), Gentoo (1), PCLinuxOS (1)).

I am not a mathematician or anything, so quite possible I missed something, but wouldn’t the 57 Linux users be the majority?

Exactly

For sure, I agree the phone integration is a better solution and could easily take the place of any connection requirements for the vehicle, was just providing insight into why any consumer might justify it.

Why the manufacturers push it would be a totally different answer…

Do you want realtime traffic updates, live charger status, streaming entertainment, software updates, emergency crash response, Wi-Fi hotspot, remote alarm status and controls, remote telematics? If yes to any of those, then you have your answer.

Of course, simply having a connection opens it up for privacy abuses, just like a smartphone, there are number of reasons why consumers would want a connected vehicle.

Who pays if you get myocarditis from COVID?

“The casks are expected to last 50–100 years…”. Let’s see 2025-1972=53 years. Sounds like it is nearing time to start replacing these or to figure out a better solution to reuse the high level waste.

You can make it work on 120V, it just uses ~20-30% more energy due to the overhead of running all the vehicle systems for so much longer while charging.

Impressive for sure, but curious how this Guinness World Record is different from the 749 mile (1205 km) one Lucid set in June?

Edit: Looks like the Polestar record is for “longest journey travelled by an electric SUV on a single charge” while Lucid was for “longest journey by an electric car on a single charge”.

Interesting technology but the article compares the bare motor at 28.8 pounds (13.1 kilograms) to a complete Tesla Model 3 drive unit at 176 lbs (80 kg) which has not only the motor but also inverter, oiling system, gear reduction, differential, etc…

A better comparison would be something like Lucid Air motor which they give weights for the core rotor and stator assembly of 69 pounds (31.4 kg) and power density of 15.6 kW/kg, compared to this prototype motor at 42 kW/kg.

That is very generous of you to offer. Sadly, I am not in the EU, otherwise I would certainly take you up on it.

I’ve started working to source the hardware components and it definitely seems to be tricky to find some items at a reasonable price or at all. You’ll probably see me on the forums soon also trying to verify if I have suitable substitutes.

Appreciate the extra insight. Any sources you recommend if someone is trying to avoid news sources that are corporate biased or propaganda outlets?

Other large outlets not on the list like BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, RT, all seem like they would fall into one or the other of those categories to varying degrees. Visibility on quality, unbiased, sources of news is certainly needed now more than ever.
