So Model S Plaid can do 0-60 in 1.98s provided sticky VHT substance on the track. Same stuff used for other drag racers, super- and hypercars to get the required road friction.
"Once ready and in its cheetah stance, the Model S Plaid's launch is drama-free, even without the added advantage of VHT. The electric car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.07 seconds, more than 0.2 second quicker than our previous record holder."
Based on this, what NorwegianDude suggested that it doesn't come even near to that acceleration is just false.
Engineering Explained did a good video on this, specifically mentioning rollout:
> […] No, Tesla's Model S Plaid won't hit 60 mph in under 2 seconds. In this video we'll discuss rollout, Tesla's actual 0-60 time, 0-60 theory, and what today's theoretical limit on 0-60 mph is. Watch to learn more!
Roll-out is standard my dude. So is testing at drag strips. Next you're going to point out that a tesla accelerating on the beach gets to 60mph in 11 seconds and therefore Elon is lying.
Many magazines use rollout and different surfaces. But pretty much every car manufacturer displays their acceleration numbers without excluding rollout or using a prepped surface. The dodge deamon is the exception here because it is designed for drag racing.
Tesla is interesting because they selectively include or exclude the rollout in their acceleration numbers. For their slower (but still very fast) models they include the rollout, and for their faster ones they exclude it, artificially increasing the gap between their models. Not sure why.
Keep in mind there are a lot of sour grapes when it comes to Bitcoin. Critics have had so many chances to buy in, and Bitcoin price and popularity continues to grow.
I get people being upset about speculation events, and I'm fine with that. What I find upsetting is the FUD that is spread. Inferring that people who use it are criminals and such.
It's interesting because if a congressional bill comes up to ban encryption and uses FUD about "save the children" and "anyone who uses encryption is a criminal" HN is quick to notice and call bullshit. But then in other situations, like this one, many resort to the same rhetoric =/
Not much if Toyota can't compete on price. Range has not been an issue since 2015, and the marginal increase in consumer demand won't go up much if a $150k 500 mile electric hits the market.
The real issue for electric is that a 300 mile electric costs more than $35k because the world wide battery production capacity is limited.
If solid state batteries are easier to produce and the price comes down faster than lithium ion then there might be a crossover point by 2030. Until then, this probably means cooler high end sports cars (formula E?)
And in a great many cases, when you dig into the details, it turns out that they are - in fact - doing it wrong. Or at least blaming scrum for things that scrum does not actually entail. Or blaming "agile" for things that are 100% contrary to both the letter and spirit of the agile manifesto.
Make more sense to you?
Maybe you would like OO style?
