[STEMO]

STEMO - 23 st 10 ½ lbs at my last visit to fat club; 332lbs is almost dead on 150kg. So you should believe it

Granted, that's down from 29 st 5 lbs (411lb or 186kg) on the 13th of Feb, but still a long way from the 110kg limit in a glider!

Oh, I think the Chevy 502 in the winch would argue otherwise, but seat load is limited to 110 kg, unfortunately.

Maybe in another 9 months, if I'm really lucky, I could be down in that range Unlikely, but maybe.

You need to try very hard, young Aaron, you have your whole life ahead of you, and it could be such a good life. Best of luck

Getting easier or harder to lose weight, Aaron?

Think the electric lorry is a bit long fo a std 45" trailer, then there's the battery pack, think the available pay load won't be good, then there's the que of electric trucks waiting their turn to charge. Also what happens when it runs out of lectricky in the road works. Can't wait for this.

Mrs V says that is pretty impressive for that red toy car (with the black cat behind it) . Any plans to build a life size one?

45 inches seems a bit short for a trailer

You aren't thinking outside the box. Each lorry driver will have a USB stick emergency power supply (bit like you get now for your mobile phone) . Just plug it in and away you go to your nearest charging point. Or what does a lorry do now when it runs out of fuel? Call out the breakdown truck.

Seems right if they are toys.

Thanks STEMO 

Getting easier or harder to lose weight, Aaron?

Harder - although that's only really because we've had a tough few weeks with a lot of stress, little time to shop etc and resorted to food that isn't "on plan". The dog is about the only thing keeping us in balance at the moment!

Incidentally if anyone is lonely and single, I reckon SlimmingWorld groups would be a great place to pick up some desperate MILF action

Well done. That's a fantastic achievement.

When you get to 110 kg, the flight's on me.

I'll even take you there in the Westfield.

Yeah, right. It's estimated that to get the 500 mile range Tesla are claiming for the lorry it'll need a battery around 1200Kwh in size. Charging it in half an hour means a supply rated at least 2400kwh. From a 240V supply that's 10,000 amps  .

The reality is that you're going to have to drive this thing to your local nuclear power station to charge it up. The new Hinkley Point C is rated at 3200Mw. It'll be able to recharge about 2700 lorries per hour.  And that charge will get you about 500 miles, so what 10 hours driving? AIUI a normal diesel lorry can drive around for several days on a single fill up.

So the breakdown trucks "emergency charge" will pack a hell of a punch just like my USB sticks.

Cheers Kevin - might just take you up on that, if/when I make it there


BTW LCOG (as I call you in my head.. pronounced "El Cog"), Superchargers are 480V DC, so it's a mere 5,000A of DC current. What could go wrong?

Incidentally, Elon says the Megachargers will be solar powered. I assume each one will come with a few square miles of solar panels.. which might well work in the middle of America (aka desert wasteland), but not the UK, I suspect!

8mpg and a 200 gallon tank... 8 gallons an hour at 56 mph, that's 25 hours of driving, or just over a day

How long before the tacho makes you stop for a break, though?*

*assuming you haven't disconnected it, of course. Because nobody would ever do that.

[Lazydocker]

Zero to sixty in 1.6 seconds is roughly 2G.......and will probably hurt.

I'd give it a go

No worse than a glider winch launch (without the 2000' per minute rate of climb element). *

* - Your Traction May Vary 

Indeed. And not painful at all
