This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

There exists stop signs, red lights, traffic, and trains..

Never assume you won't be parked for more than 5 minutes...

Ofc but I made some big assumptions with regards to ambient temperature, battery mass and lack of functional cooling. 5 minutes is absolute worst case with 70 degree ambient air.

Only 5 minutes? Our trains have us parked for like 20 minutes, I posted about this a few weeks ago.
