minus-squareValmond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days ago150kWatt and a top speed of 145? That’s kind of insane? Wait a minute, mph not km/h I guess.
minus-squarepaequ2@lemmy.todayOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoYeah, 145km/h might be a liiitle under powered. I drive between 120km/h to 130km/h on the US interstates.
minus-squareCeeBee_Eh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoHow are you doing kph in the US?
minus-squareSpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 days agoSquinting your eyes on the smaller numbers on the speedometer. I do it all the time!
minus-squarepaequ2@lemmy.todayOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoEvery car I’ve owned has had a way to change the speedometer from freedom units to ✨ metric ✨ . For knowing what speed I should be going, I roughly follow these numbers. (Note, these are not equivalent.) 35mph -> 50km/h 60mph -> 100km/h 70mph ->110km/h Also, very roughly 10km ≈ 5mi. However, most of the time I just follow the flow of traffic. I voluntarily switched to metric like 10 years ago, so meters, celsius, grams, etc make more sense to me now.
minus-squareCeeBee_Eh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoYou missed the joke. I was making a joke as if kph and mph were physically distinct things and only one of them worked in each country.
