In the future, we could use some sort of traffic management system, were cars which conform to a standard are able to 'link-up' and move as one unit like a train, it would relieve alot of the stop and go and improve flow on congested roads, possibly with denser traffic. I'd bet alot of daily commuters woild subscribe to something like that.

ITER achieves net positive energy for 20 consecutive minutes (nature.com) 1205 points by physics_lover 12 hours ago | hide | 402

The energy app is pretty good, it fits pretty well with my double policy but I don't look at it anymore, since it requires diverting my attention moreso than glancing ant the estimate, and additional tapping to bring it up.

As a rule of thumb I halve the EPA estimate in winter and 2/3-3/4 it in summer.

I have had no range issues doing this for the 130000km + I have owned the vehicle.

Edit: If I'm going to tap, I check the Wh/km, as that is what I'm used to. It was better before they removed it from the swipe, but hey, we gotta fill those sprints somehow.

It may be better, but I generally look at my current Wh/km usage for an estimate of my remaining range.

Average over 130000km (3y) is 191Wh/km

Winter can be as bad as 330Wh/km (-30C 110km/h)

Summer can be good, but I've never seen a 100km trip better than 145Wh/km.

Generally the lower the remaining range, the better the EPA range (estimate) is.

I make sure the displayed range on the M3 is double for the distance I want to travel.

Winter tires, snow and ice sticking to the car, and -15C are quite normal occurrences here, and range display is pretty consistently half of what to expect.

9.5 Your PR will be held up for at least a month with the back and forth.

Think of all of the real good devs could be doing instead of rearranging UI components and especially the wasted time of making vehicle interfaces require more screen interaction for prior one tap actions.

What a waste of brainpower and education.

In conclusion, the Yeti shart of 2022 will contain no more logs.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I read that final post.
