[@JeepXLC]

literally every top gear/grand tour fan knows about rimac. that's millions of people. they're hardly an unknown name. also, the crash with Richard Hammond was, at the time, presumed to be due to the on-board computer producing an adjustment from the torque-vectoring traction control system. the variables created by cresting a hill, on a turn, while braking... were unprecedented for the car's accepted parameters causing it to behave unpredictably and it went off the side of the mountain. in my opinion, it was not too much for him to handle. there is a joint video on the Drivetribe channel with Hammond and Mr Rimac that discuss it in legally curated details. though as time has moved on, Rimac dispute this claim of any TVS malfunction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2nScp6urL6EnpI *edited for haters.

@@nikisepps "calm yourself"? At no point was my comment uncalm. 😂 Also, FYI, the phrase "could care less" makes absolutely no sense in your context, unless you're trying to say that it does bother you and that you agree with me, the phrase you're looking for is "couldn't care less". With regard to hydrogen, Donut did a decent video on that and it's really not looking promising, suggest you go and watch it.

Electric propulsion means nothing for commercial transportation, You need 8 tonnes of batteriez to pull 12 tonnes in a truck, the ICE Will be alive and well, albeit in a more efficient form.

I about 2 hours before I saw this video today, I placed bids for stocks in VW and Porche. I would not have placed a bid on Porche had I not seen an earlier video you made about the 2 companies and how they were intertwinted. Thanks and a BIG THUMBS UP for your videos. BTW, many years ago I bought stock in Geely shortly after it went from making refrigerators to making cars. They recently gave up making the Terrafugia(a flying car) but now they will also be making low orbit satellites. You may want to do an updated video on Geely that you made about a year ago.

If I’m not mistaken Rolls-Royce is owned by BMW!!!

[@mrpoopybutthole6314]

It is now

[@TheGamingNorwegian]

What they said is correct, i think Donut Media made a video about it... VW bought EVERYTHING from Rolls Royce (the car company part, not the aviation company part), but they forgot to buy the damn name. So BMW snatched up the Rolls Royce name, they didnt even need the plans for what was then "current gen" models because BMW where the main suppliers for Rolls Royce. So VW bought all OLD plans and models, while BMW bought the name and developed a new generation of Rolls Royce. So VW thought they bought RR (which is why RR is in the list in the video), but later found out they didnt buy the most important thing from RR, the name.

[@vladob3]

BMW vs. VW (VAG or Porsche group). Interesting story: One company owns Rolls-Royse production, the other one owns the brand name.

VW VR6 turbo engine mated a Rimac hybrid system. Use the engine/turbo heat and rear brakes to charge the batteries. Utilize electric torque for initial movement from stationary then phase in the engine from 5 or 10 mph. Have eco modes using idling engine to maintain battery strength. Normal, utilizing the most efficient use of both, and performance mode, with everything up to 11. in the next golf.
