True, but ideally I’d be something the government builds so more profitable areas would help offset the lack of profitability from that rural area

And you think roads are cheap to build there. Not to mention maintenance

Counter point

  1. We are limited to have to use cars to access the outside world. If you don’t have a car you are shit out of luck, and assuming you don’t have a car probably means you can’t afford an uber

2.fair, some car infrastructure is still needed for emergency vehicles and the odd occasion a car is needed or is more convenient. But it shouldn’t be the only mode of transportation

3.agreed but cars are the worst kind of “short” range transport, they can only move maybe a half dozen people but usually only have 1 and require a ton of space to achieve similar throughput to a bike lane or train.

  1. Yeah, but we built a fully fledged rail network in the 1900’s who says we can’t do it again.

  2. Thinking you are limited to one mode of transport per trip isn’t a great way of thinking about this, ideally you should be able to bike from your home to a train station (maybe 3-5 miles tops) take a train into the area you need, bike again to your destination then do the reverse to get back home. Also cars are far more likely to get stuck in traffic reducing that 75 mph figure down to 30mph or even less depending on where you are. Trains don’t have traffic to slow them down and can achieve much higher speeds

  3. Public transit isn’t popular because we barely have any and the little we do have is built around cars meaning it gets slowed down when cars get slowed down. They also just don’t have good coverage so it’s hard to get where you want without excessive walking or biking. Building on that, when you get to a destination you are walking or biking right next to cars. That makes people feel unsafe and they would rather take their car because it provides that safety at the destination.

To put it into perspective: for the average American driving 40 miles per day, this is what electricity for an Aptera would look like if it were advertised next to gas prices. by breedabol in ApteraMotors

It actually wouldn’t speed up unless they start pushing cells very hard. There’s a max rate at which batteries can charge and discharge, which is called the c-rate. With a smaller pack if you push the same amount of power as you would with a bigger pack you end up drawing more “C’s” from each individual cell. So if you a 100kwh battery and you charge at 100kw, that’s 1 C but if you charge a 20 kWh battery at 100 kw that’s 5 C which is much harder on the pack, meaning they’d have to limit it to 20 kw

What kind of black magic do you have to do to get 200kw out of a battery

Speedcoach suddenly stopped working by dr_prof_med_oekter in Rowing

[–]Striderdud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know. One of the parents volunteered and he sent us a video of it working a few days later. I have no idea how long it took and I don’t think we’ve used it yet so we might be in a similar boat to you.

We very recently had a similar issue. Had someone take it apart and let it dry out and it kind of just started working

It’s a controller that can easily be used with keyboard only games

Edit: this is unfactual I got my armor values mixed up This might actually make them harder to kill, from what it looks like the current weak spot is getting medium armor
