There was some sorcery involved, yes. But that does not mean it wasn't a fundamentally easy problem. Orbital mechanics are the easiest and cleanest physics around. That's why classical mechanics was so incredibly useful: it's a near perfect predictor for movement in the sky. There ain't no friction no nothing. Just clean positions, gravity, and propulsion.
I don't live in car land. Hence I don't commute or shop groceries via car. Charging seems a hassle for typical trips, but I am not an experienced driver. I want mini cars to be cheaper, not go farther, so using one is more sensible.
In case one didn't know: we do this in part since our anatomy does handle high temperatures better than foreign organisms. Hence it disrupts their lifecycle aiding in defense.
17k for not even 200km range sucks. EVs must get cheaper.
Edit: This does not mean that the car sucks. It means that profits must fall. Can't have china have a 9k for 350km car. We must be better and cheaper! Also battery costs are plummeting.
