Tesla morons call their cars "MS" or "MX" or "M3" even though those are already parts of names for cars so you gotta clarify that you mean the good m3

Lord Stimperor posted:The cool thing was that it was, IIRC, also the same crew to eject out of an air plane twice when they had to do it again a short while later. yeah this is why modern ejection seats are set up with a parachute, so instead of when you eject you splorp right back down in the plane you just ejected from, the parachute makes your seat slow down while the plane keeps going, so you end up behind it

Last Chance posted:i imagine the parachute probably stops you from hitting the ground too, but i don't know much about this besides the basics nah making sure you don't hit the ground (until you want to) was the airplane's job, the parachute just makes it so you hit the ground less hard

Combat Theory posted:Teslas door latches are an exeptionally bad example, but thats exactly the reason that trunk locks have gone from mechanical to full electric. only that the consequences in an electric failure are much less severe. electric power steering works better than hydraulic in some engine domains, like wide-open throttle or off electric pumps and cabin a/c works better than mechanical for the same reason toyota nailed both of these over a decade ago btw
