I believe Airbus too. I think the only claim for a fly by wire accident is this one. The pilot of the A320 that crashed at Habsheim claimed the fly-by-wire engines failed to spool up on command. it was vital to the state & Airbus that it be pilot error. Ultimately, he was found guilty and sentenced to 10 months in prison and 10 months probation. Analysis of photographs, showing the black boxes being carried away from the aircraft by the worlds most prestigious photograph certification company in Lausanne, Switzerland showed that the black boxes being presented to the court were not the same ones photographed being carried away from the aircraft. Additionally, further analysis by experts identified numerous problems with the digital flight data recorder, four seconds missing, no timing marks on the tape, wrong leaders on the tape etc etc. IMHO, the captain was right, and it, most likely was a fly-by-wire error, it would’ve been disastrous for Airbus, if that was found to be the case on their first ever, A320 aeroplane.

You’re missing a couple of important points. Hydrogen is still highly inflammable and explosive, whether it is used for fuel or buoyancy. Secondly, how are you going to produce the hydrogen? With the same dirty fossil technology that is currently used to charge EV’s. Market forces will determine which one is going to be successful, and right now, it does not look like hydrogen. It very much looks like EV.

I think one of the challenges with EV’s is making the tyres, suspension, brakes, weight distribution, steering etc. capable of handling their ever increasing performance. Typically weighing over 2 tons, it must be challenging to make it stop as quick as it can accelerate. A very fast car that won’t handle properly is unsafe.

But not the dead ones…Thank you Boeing

Ah a FOOL cell, Hydrogen, there was a vehicle that ran on hydrogen, it was an airship, I think it was called the Hindenburg. What could possibly go wrong.

They say KYC block is temporary but won’t give timescale, can still sell crypto but can’t buy on BitKub. Cannot use PayPal at all. It seems to be related to Digital ID’s, hopefully we will all get them.

Being a Brit, I had to look them up. Before EV’s fast cars were uncommon in the UK & expensive. EV’s are fast and cheap and they are getting very fast. It’s an exciting time to be alive. It used to be big news when a car was launched that could do 0-100 in 8 seconds, now almost every EV betters that and is exciting to drive. With the launch of cheap dual motor EV’s, anyone can own not just supercar but hypercar performance with cheap running costs and driving becomes a lot of fun.

It might have been a Pontiac Firebird I drove, it was gold with a huge eagle decal on the bonnet. I do remember it drove like a POS.

I was surprised too. This could never happen in in the UK. My account was with Bangkok Bank. I used an agency for my Elite application and they were able to explain what they were concerned about and it was addressed to their satisfaction. Bangkok Bank would have known where the withdrawals were made.

I’m not sure there is any EV solution for diesel pick up and a petrol van in Thailand just yet. But that EV revolution is already happening, you’ve only to look at the cars on the roads in Thailand’s major cities to see that. .

Alpha used to make a 55l tank that was switchable 800w, 1.6Kw and 2.4Kw I put a couple of 1.2Kw tanks in another house, I can’t remember what make they were.

I was messing with you

I’m a little nervous of any friends talking about butt’s and in’s and sky.

I thought he might be, he has a British sense of humour. it makes it all the more crazy that he drives a transam, I drove one for a short time in the 1970s and I couldn’t believe how slow it was for such a large engine car. I had a Lincoln continental coupe for about six months with a 7.5 L engine, and that wouldn’t break 80 mph.

I’m curious, are you from the former colonies? Why do you drive a transam? I drove one once, it was horrible.

I don’t think your sleights are abusive, just inappropriate. Your posts are often highly factual and educational. Buttinsky? Is that some kind of a gay slur? Are you trying to tell me something about yourself there?

We’re all screwed if they want certificates of sanity.

He had a pop at me for fining people in the UK & giving them criminal records for cannabis use, I suspect he’s been on the wrong end of that himself, and maybe it’s why he trolls me. He may not even be anti-EV, just anti JBChiangRai or anti anti-cannabis people. Maybe you missed the dig when he called me m’lud. Apologies for going off-topic.

I don’t think he was talking about electrical stored energy. The only electricity I know that is different, is Thai electricity, apparently it doesn’t need an earth in houses here because it’s different. ???? What he was talking about is battery chemistry. I think your comment about “still fail to understand” wasn’t appropriate or polite.

I would expect the new Elite packages to be - more expensive - have less services involving external costs - annual fees - some services charged for

Actually, they are designed in England, the design team is based in London, I believe

Apple iPhones have the ability to tell you the maximum capacity of the battery, it starts out at 100% but a year later mine is down to 77%. It still charges up to indicated 100%, but it’s 100% of 77%, I trust that is as clear as mud?

Lol, thank god it’s not!

Maybe I am doing something wrong.

The Nissan leaf had a big problem, it’s batteries are air cooled, not liquid cooled, and in my humble opinion on suitable for hot climates. Maybe they have addressed that, and now they’re liquid cooled, I don’t know.
