Automotive: I wonder what my AMG Mercedes would do on the autobahn?

Probably 30 liters per 100 km? Would that be reasonable for a 5.4 liter gas guzzling engine? It wouldn't last very long at high speeds of 200+ kph, as the tank is only 80 liters! But at least I'd get 200+ kilometers of very high speed driving and if I need to stop for fuel, I can refuel quickly in a

Automotive: I don't blame you! Without getting too political - California has become a very strange place!

Hope to see you sometime! If not, I'll have to come to see you - when the weather isn't freezing and windy blizzard conditions - I am a Californian after all.

I hope you continue to try your luck with the M.A.D. timepieces. They are definitely interesting turtle/tortue-shaped watches!

Automotive: I know at around 140 kph, the consumption goes to around 4 kilometers per KWH on my Tesla. So assuming this car has around 80 KWH, that's only 320 kilometers.

My car only has around 60 KWH, so my car can only do around 240 KM at high speed. And Autobahn speeds can be 200 kph, so, the consumption will go up even more, thus shortening the autonomy.
