Since the early 2000s to get a seamless gearshift #F1 gearboxes run two selectors, one controls odd gears, the other even gears.
But the gearbox needs to know the exact position of each gear, which is done by a process called 'learning' Without this, the shifts have to be slower

People should be criminally charged for the fact that we've never, and might never, get to see Leclerc and Verstappen race proper F1 cars like this.

Still doesn't change the fact that my monthly home usage is between 60-140 units depending on season. That's 60kWh for December and 140kWh for May. My entire monthly usage equates to one charge of one electric car. The reality of it should leave one flabbergasted.

Balaji just told you the charging problem is solved and nobody’s doing the infrastructure math.

BYD has 500 of these Megawatt chargers deployed in China. They’re targeting 4,000 by end of year.

Tesla has 75,000 Supercharger connectors. At 250-350kW each.

Here’s the constraint nobody’s pricing: each BYD Megawatt charger requires a direct connection to the medium-voltage grid. That’s the kind of power that runs small factories. You can’t just upgrade an existing site. You’re building new electrical infrastructure from scratch, often requiring grid connection timelines measured in years, not months.

Tesla spent 13 years building infrastructure that can serve 75,000 cars simultaneously at 250kW. BYD’s tech requires roughly 4x the grid capacity per charger. The bottleneck was never the battery chemistry. The bottleneck is getting 1MW to the parking lot.

And here’s what the demo doesn’t show: the InsideEVs test started at 13% and hit 60% in 5 minutes. That’s not a full tank. The Han L has 700km total range on China’s lenient test cycle. Real-world EPA equivalent is closer to 550km. Five minutes gets you about half a charge.

The tech is real. BYD’s battery holds 600kW at 90% state of charge, which is genuinely impressive. But the “EV flippening” requires BYD to build more grid infrastructure in 3 years than Tesla built in 13. And they have to do it in countries where grid connection timelines are measured in quarters, not weeks.

China can mandate the grid upgrades. The rest of the world has to negotiate with utilities.

@cfmagindia @CircuitValencia @Autodromo_Monza Any idea if Fancode is showing the post season test today?

@parrysingh I found this thanks to @ButVai, a real-world genius and incredible entrepunner. 💖

There’s no better proof that life is unfair than the second bhatoora. Think about it - both bhatooras start off as equals. The second could easily have been the first. But fate intervenes.

By the time you’re done with the first, three things happen:
1. You’re already full.
2. 300 calories of guilt are whispering in your ear.
3. The second one has gone limp.

You still eat it, but half-heartedly. No oohs, no aahs - just quiet resignation.

The second bhatoora did nothing wrong. It simply suffered from bad timing - and fades away unappreciated.

So next time someone preaches about karma or fairness, ask them - what about the second bhatoora?

Hey @FanCode. I bought a season pass for @MotoGP and @F1 for this year but when I went to watch the MotoGP #AustralianGP it started a trial and asked me to buy a pass. I even tried logging out and back in, no change. What gives?!

[Jim 🚗🏍🍉🍕 @jimbosez]

@FanCode @MotoGP @F1 Tried on my laptop too. Same. Not working! Is some server down? Even the helpdesk is not working. @FanCode WTH?
