Super day at FullyCharged.SHOW & Everything Electric South yesterday. So much to do and so many people to see! One particular highpoint was getting behind the wheel of the MG Motor UK Ltd Cyberster. With about 500 bhp, dual-motor all-wheel drive and scissor doors it didn't lack for drama and I was stopped at more than one set of lights to be asked what it was / whether I was having fun. This car really put me in mind of Mazda Motor Corporation MX-5s of my past, and not just from a two seat roadster perspective. You really feel like you sit in rather than on the car, a common challenge for EVs, the cabin was a lovely place to be, although there was more screens than necessary in my opinion, and the ride was communicative but not jittery. Of course it was grin-inducingly fast from a point and squirt perspective, but when combined with the joy of the open top and a more sporting personna, it felt like a party trick you might find yourself using regularly, rather than just when a new passenger gets in. I've been looking forward to Porsche AG's take on the electric roadster with the promised next gen Boxster, not least as I believe the team were looking at recreating the balance of the car by putting the battery where the mid-engine is today to retain the CoG and dynamic feel. The Cyberster probably doesn't deliver to that level, but, other than the daft name (I'm used to it already), this is a fantastic effort that I think could gain real traction in the soft-top loving UK. A real awareness driver. More thoughts on the show next week, have a great weekend all. #automotive #brand #storytelling #emobility ⚡🚀🙌🏻

Missed this one completely but listened to it yesterday evening and Adrian Newey (considered by many as one of the best F1 designers ever) has some interesting thoughts and comments. He has the same philosophy as TELO Trucks, making cars smaller and lighter, and he is not a fan of the three-ton cars being produced today. -       Believe the electric route prescribed by many governments is wrong, and that they have done a typical governmental by stating that it is the only way forward. He would rather see the car manufacturers themselves come up with their solutions / proposals, so basically have the governments say something along these lines “This is the problem we need to solve, here are the targets you need to meet and by when, and then it is up to you, to come up with your proposals.” -       He thinks the current approach is very anti-engineering. -       Electric has its applications; and it is a great technology that has made tremendous advancements in the last couple of years. -       Electric makes total sense for short distances, perfect in cities, and for vehicles that stay within the city. -       Not enough focus on the birth and death of the car in terms of carbon footprint, so the total carbon footprint of the car’s lifespan, the length of the lifespan, ideally what you want is a car that is long lived, that uses the minimum amount of energy during its life, so in short, a car that is small, light, and aerodynamically efficient. -       Cars are getting bigger and bigger, they are monsters now, even impacting city planning, limited interest in building multi-story car parks because it is too expensive due to the weight they need to handle. -       Today we have three-ton monsters instead of having cars weighing under a ton. For people that would like to listen to his reasoning please fast forward to 15:30 or so. Thoughts? https://lnkd.in/dVGvgbY8 #automotive #electrification

From 0 to 100 Million - Inspired by My First 911 Carrera! Back in 2007, my first Porsche 911 Carrera S could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, those were the times before PDK (Porsche's double clutch system). I still vividly remember that addictive feeling of flooring the gas and taking sharp corners for the first time in my very own first dream machine. Also I just as vividly remember pushing my own limits a bit too far on the race track and losing control, crashing my expensive vehicle. These experiences teaches you valuable lessons to remain humble about your own capabilities and respect your vehicle and surroundings at all times. Fast forward to today, and that addictiveness and adrenaline rush feels a lot like our journey with the AM Group Holding BV, which we brought from 1 million to 100 million Euros of Revenue in just under 4,5 years. And now, to top it off, we’ve been nominated by leading dutch financial news paper Het Financieele Dagblad for the 2024 "FD Gazelle Award" for the 4th time, recognising us once again as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands! Like driving that 911, building this company has been all about balance, speed, control and focus, otherwise you lose control. But iso far it’s been an incredible ride with a phenomenal team, and I’m grateful for everyone who’s been part of it. And to put it in our own words, "we only just started"! Here’s to more milestones, more impact, and pushing the limits even further! #FDGazellen #From0To100 #BusinessGrowth #Porsche911

It is essential to understand the resource level to maintain the digital twin model once built. Does that skillset even exist enmasse Is it productive/cost effective to have that resource dedicated maintaining a complex model. Does it actually make things better. Its the same with Buildings and those pushing for complex digital twins. Perhaps AI will be used to help bridge the gap.
