This happened to me (luckily not on the highway). Teslas, and probably other EVs, have a pyro fuse which physically severs the connection between the main battery and the rest of the electric system in the case of overcurrent or an accident

My understanding is that these numbers (try to) account for actual real world usage rates. Actual emissions will of course depend on a whole lot of things, including the things you mentioned, prevailing winds, etc. Same for estimating grid

This is IMO where the Model 3 shines - it's a great car for longer trips. Comfy seats, and autopilot really reduces the strain of highway driving.

Yeah, there's a ferry from Rostock to Helsinki. However I'm trying to reduce my travel-related emissions, and after crunching the numbers have concluded that the best option would be ferry+train via Sweden, with electric car via S

I'm from Helsinki but live in Berlin, and drive between the two somewhat regularly. For this trip you essentially have two options - either via Denmark and Sweden, or Poland and the Baltics. You need to take a ferry to reach Finland re

The city of Helsinki owns about 17% of the residential building stock, not the majority. ( https://www.asuminenhelsingissa.fi/fi/content/kaupungin-omis... - in Finnish)

What we're founding out now though is that cleaning up the engine while building a new little game was the easy part. Making the main game work properly again with the refactored engine is taking way longer than we thought it would...

That's why we're calling it a "teaser", but you're absolutely right. (We'll be releasing in-game material very soon.)

Happy to hear that! We wanted to see if the vibe of the video would resonate with people, and it seems like it did.

Thank you for the excellent feedback! We were hoping to have a dedicated site for the game before the launch, but the realities of being a three man development team (or, bad planning) made that impossible.

Thanks! We'll be releasing some in-game footage soon - hope that'll give you a better idea of what the game is about.

FYI, we updated http://rocketpack.fi/engine/ to use YouTube's HTML5 embed code, which will hopefully make it easier for everyone to see the introduction video.

Thanks for letting us know. Will fix the N900 situation ASAP. Flash is for the embedded Youtube video, but I do appreciate the irony as well... -Jiri, Rocket Pack

Hi Jason, I'm the head of development at Rocket Pack. The reason we did the video and the website is because the product exists, and we're now at the point where we'd like to get a few pilot projects with other game development companies go
