Not really Cybertruck related.“Rolling rolling rolling, keep those tesla’s Rolling”
Not really Cybertruck related.
It's very common for vehicle Cd to decrease as speed increases. This web page has a graph (scroll down) with some vehicle Cd data from both small scale and full scale wind tunnel tests. They helpfully show full scale vehicle speed in addition to the somewhat abstract Reynolds number. As you can see, Cd drops dramatically with speed until about 40 mph (64 kph). Above that the decrease is very gradual.Lower CD at higher speeds? That is counter-intuitive. Where can I read the science behind this?
Even though the region of high pressure air in front of the bumper improves upstream airflow, it's still high pressure air applying rearward force over a large part of that front bumper. It's far from ideal.Lol, study some aerodynamics. That HP air in front of the bumper is a virtual plastic bumper, improving airflow...
"Battery day"?
Yes, I was looking for the date. I thought the last one (BD) was this past July; thought you implied there was another one scheduled in the near future and I got excited...Did I phrase that poorly?
Come Marchish, there is to be a public event related to battery tech if I have it right. Chemistry and production implications if I understand it correctly. I perceive it as a unique event that will expand clarity.
We will hopefully learn how the packs for the Semi and Roadster 2 will be configured. I would expect trends to apply to the CT as well.
The date is not locked down yet.
This may represent my knowledge weakness....if so, I plead guilty. Nevertheless, working with the assumption I am correct, I can see the staggering advantages of a frame that is foam cast combined with a body that is origami-folded cold-rolled stainless.
And if they had lungs. The hard cases of some insects is likely stronger for the same size and thickness, but fortunately insect size is limited by the partial pressure of oxygen. That's why there were 1 m dragonflies in the Cambrian Period, oxygen content was much higher than today.In the study of insects the advantages of an exoskeleton become apparent - integrated form, function and structure. If insects had evolved a way to use 30x cold rolled SS then we would probably not be here
Citroen was doing both of these in 1955. The camber was maintained using centre point steering.
- maintaining appropriate tire camber at all speeds
- enabling very high and very low suspensions
Not too much more though based on the way I drove my DS-21. It worked pretty well off-road.That is true; it did. I was in one of those Citroens as a kid all over Holland, Belgium and northern France.
But a pickup is far more demanding.
