  • At 3.18pm on 10 May 2018, Stefan Meier lost control of his Model S on the A2 highway near the Monte Ceneri tunnel. Travelling at about 100kmh (62mph), he ploughed through several warning markers and traffic signs before crashing into a slanted guardrail. “The collision with the guardrail launches the vehicle into the air, where it flips several times before landing,” investigators would write later.

    The driver crashed, it doesn't sound like it was in self driving mode.

  • Indeed, but cheaper than enough batteries to cover those times

    In the off grid home scale one I'd size and set the generator to run for several hours in a row to fully charge the battery on days when the battery was at a sufficiently low charge entering the night, at least that's what my current modelling suggests. Diesel gensets work best when running fully loaded for at least long enough to warm up

    I guess at grid scale you find the sweet spot where most years the gas power station and batteries are balanced to provide cheapest power averaged over the year

  • The diagram shows that they fall short on winter mornings

    My own modelling to decide what size battery I want for my house says it's easy almost every day, but when you have three rainy and overcast days in a row you need a battery far larger or an alternative. For me the alternative is the grid; at grid scale it's gas generators

  • You think it would work if one end is a magnet and the other ferrous metal? I'm pretty certain it wouldn't

    Whatever happens there's no work done as the magnet and it's partner don't move relative to each other. There's force between them, but no movement.

  • I like my white Varia VS3, the new model (vs6) has speed control, static reduction and a spout thumper

    But it's only a 38mm grinder, so it's slower and hotter than a 68mm one, and it doesn't have as wide an array of alternate grinding burrs.

    Others here using 68mm gear will have better advice.
