Simplest explanation comes from Tory Bruno: they design with a factor of safety just above 1. 1.1 to 1.25. This is one of the reasons they wait for good weather to launch… they are trying to maximize payload. Also until recently, it’s been

There is a big market for it, but I don’t think that market exists until you go another 10+ years down the road. And then that market will likely be largely filled by used EVs. The problem I see is that many people are skeptical of EVs, mos

Same thing in the US. Tesla does exactly that at their supercharger sites. Probably not all of them, but definitely some of them.

Streetfighter v4s has a 4 gallon tank and gets 25-30mpg. It’s what I’m most familiar with, but all my friends with different bikes are in about the same boat as me. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ducati/comments/wlw

I think you’re way off tbh. Something like 85% of the motorcycle market is for pleasure. Plenty of those bikes have a range of only ~100 miles as it is. Stopping is not really the problem. The problem is the charging infrastructure does not

100%. Tire technology is a real thing. Tires have advanced a ton in the last 10 years. But driving style is the biggest thing. Some people can only get 10k miles out of a set of tires, while others with the same car and tires get over 40k.

Are you serious? New motors, new battery pack architecture, chemistry, etc, new body structure (giga castings), new interior, new facia and body panels, new computer architecture, new door handles. It goes on and on and on. Find me a part o

2025 S is the same as your 2014 S? That’s some hilarious cope. Stop lying. You know it’s completely different. Yes, a model S is still a model S. And the F150 is still a pickup truck. Surprise!

90s trucks sure. But they turned into tonka trucks over the last 30 years. The grills and everything just keep getting bigger. It’s actually worse than that though. Ford got rid of the heavy duty package on the f150 and said to customers “j

They don’t have a sports car EV though. They launched a sedan, crossover and midsize SUV.

The Starbucks example to me is a bad example, and seems very cherry picked. They mention the one time stock bonuses he got, most likely part of his recruitment. He’s a highly sought after fast food executive. They also got him to work in Se

Because people think the progress shown with gpt5 is unimpressive. Meanwhile Claude is very successful, Grok has come out of nowhere and according to some benchmarks matches or exceeds gpt5 slightly. Meaning openai might not be THE horse to

Pretty much. The math is pretty simple: the more you drive the more economical an ev is due to it being more efficient and lower maintenance. Fighting against EVs is fighting an uphill battle. But I suppose it’s the only logical thing to do

Not if it’s below regulatory threshold. Which they seemed to say it was in the article (they said it’s below EPA threshold, so I assume that means the OSHA threshold too). The article never says how much they detected. I can only assume it’

Why do you think that would solve the problem? Keep in mind stucco is very common in Southern California. Basically a 7/8” thick layer of concrete on all the exterior walls. It is fire resistant. Many such buildings burned down. This i

The things you are pointing out are largely styling choices. The difference in quality of finishes are, like mentioned, solid surface quartz counters which are basically stain proof, large porcelain tiles, toilets that flush more effectivel

I’d be curious if there’s a single brand that has no electronic door latches at this point. Every brand I can think of has them on at least one vehicle. They have been in mainstream brands (like Chevy) for like 20+ years now.

by l1tany11 2y ago
Same thing has happened in corvettes. Corvette has has electronic doors since at least the c6 (2005) and just like the Tesla has a manual release. But people still get “trapped” and die. There was even a story of an older guy dying in his c

There are much newer products than boeshield which have a lot higher wax content, preform a lot better, and don’t have the nasty stuff in them like naphtha. Silca ss drip, ufo drip, flower power wax are all drip on lubes that all test bette

Or it is a reference to everyone apparently needing to go to college etc, and there being a nationwide shortage of people entering into trades, mechanics, fabrication, machining, etc. All the “bad” jobs you should stay in school to avoid. T

The reason is the same reason these issues come up in Motorsports. In reality, technology matters. And sponsors (Nike, Pirelli, etc) are attracted to the sport in part for that reason. Sports don’t exist at the level they do without sponsor

Pickup truck front end design has nothing to do with this. It’s entirely based on Tonka Truck design principles I.e. bigger and boxier and higher is more tough! Tough = good! It’s the same reason glove sizing at Home Depot starts at XL and

Laws like that exist because selective enforcement of them provides the police an excuse to stop someone.

Most of policing is scarecrow. Deterrence is the name of the game. One time my credit card number was stolen, and they purchased airline tickets for more than $1000. I reported it, but was told nothing would happen. They already have police

As someone who has spent a lot of time building and racing cars… yeah the marketing is nuts. A few years ago Porsche came out with the Taycan. One of their big marketing pushes was that it was better on track than a Tesla model S, because o

As it is, people love to complain about buying gas. If someone were to add up the costs associated with driving, I’m sure it would be insane. And I mean all costs. Driving is subsidized to a level that is incomprehensible, and obfuscated aw

Every little part of the infrastructure is dumbly serving the idea that a car briefly going 50mph is a good thing. The crossing buttons you mentioned, are often inaccessible from the bike lane. The bike lane doesn’t have a sensor (and such

Panasonic ones go down to 50cfm, which is fine for a bedroom. That being said, everything in construction comes down to “it depends” because there is so much variability including just in execution. In California for instance there are mech
