I don't think I've ever seen Megameter used before. I quite like how it sounds.

So do I. I quite like using Megagram in place of tonne, as well.

They seem to be using a 150 kW battery. Its amazing to see this technological advance, even if I don't need such large batteries.

Fantastic tech. Wish the physical design of their non-SUV full electric models didn’t look quite so dumb though :(

I assumed they're trying to get the least amount of drag while still being comfortable.

Perfection was achieved long ago. Akira was right about everything.

Perfection was achieved long ago.

Having a sitting position like a "z" sideways doesn't look comfortable at all, for more than 15 minutes.
