Is “moderate” #alcohol drinking really safe? A new analysis in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs confirms it is not. Drinking an average of 14 drinks a week (two a day) was associated with a 1 in 25 lifetime risk of dying from 🍺 alcohol-related causes. At around seven drinks a week, the risk was about 1 in 1,000. It rose sharply above one drink a day, for both men and women. The researchers found no protective effect of #alcohol at low levels. Even about one drink a day was linked to higher risk of death from #cirrhosis, oral and oesophageal cancer. These are population-level estimates, not individual predictions. doi.org/10.15288/jsad.25-004…

Some people claim that agriculture forever will be addicted to diesel….. Chinese farmers have begun using fully electric driverless tractors.

I'm definitely not anti-achievement and never criticized real achievements, including by Elon. I even own two Teslas. I do expose marketing stunts that, while cool on the surface, are not the achievements they are claimed to be. Compressed air thrusters might give you acceleration boosts in any direction. They might even make your car hover for a couple of seconds if you accept replacing the passenger seat by a 400 liter high-pressure air tank. But they are not a path to actual flying cars. The same way Burt Rutan's SpaceshipOne was never going to be a path to orbital flights (just bunny hops out of the atmosphere). I am anti-Musk when it comes to politics. His political actions, the massive dissemination of disinformation through X and other channels, and his support for authoritarian regimes and racist ideas have the effect of weakening democracy and weakening human decency and social progress around the world.

Jaguar is all over social media right now and people still say the marketing was bad. You didn’t have to like it, but it did exactly what it was supposed to do.

The @MercedesBenz CLA is impressively efficient. It averaged 4.44 mi/kWh in my 70 mph highway range test. Combined with its outstanding charging capabilities, the CLA, both the 350 4MATIC and 250 Plus, are some of the best road tripping EVs you can buy today. youtu.be/cjsrDXdlrN0?si=qGBZ…

Genesis (owned by Hyundai) has just officially unveiled its new all-electric three-row flagship SUV for the U.S., the GV90, and it has some wild features. • Range: Up to 310 miles • 123 kWh battery • Peak charging speed: 350kW • Radiant floor heating • World’s first independently opening/closing hidden B-pillar coach-door system. • Front and rear doors can open toward each other simultaneously, creating a large pillarless opening. • New dual-motion rear-door hinge first moves the door outward and then rotates it open. • World’s first Roof Airbag, designed to deploy across the entire glass roof during severe rollovers to reduce occupant ejection and roof-contact injuries. • Battery slider structure redirects components such as the motor and subframe underneath the battery during a frontal collision. • Multi-Chamber Air Suspension with adjustable air-spring stiffness and adaptive ride height. • Active Rear Wheel Steering turns the rear wheels by up to 5 degrees • 208 inches long • Genesis says the pillarless structure achieves crash-safety performance equivalent to vehicles with conventional B-pillars. • When parked, the front seats can rotate 180 degrees at the press of a button, creating a face-to-face lounge configuration. • Wireless Battery Management System reduces wiring and improves battery packaging efficiency. • New Power Control System eliminates the traditional start/stop button - first Hyundai Motor Group vehicle with the system. • Pop-up 23.6" OLED Cinematic Display. When parked, the screen can rise 90 mm and expand into a 24.6-inch display. • 25-inch Head-Up Display replaces a conventional dedicated instrument cluster and displays speed, navigation and ADAS information. • Memory Reversing Assist (MRA) remembers the vehicle’s path and can automatically guide it backward out of narrow alleys or parking areas. • Bang & Olufsen Premier 3D audio system. 25 speakers. Dolby Atmos support. • Premium leather seats feature 15 individual air cells. Seats include a pulse-vibration massage system. • Metal-coated heated windshield, a Hyundai Motor Group first, can directly heat the glass to clear frost and condensation without relying solely on cabin climate control. • Radiant heating built into first- and second-row console armrests, side panels and door trims. • GV90 Neolun Executive Suite available in a 4-seat configuration. Executive Suite second row features a real wood veneer floor. Comfort Partition separates the second-row passenger compartment from the cargo area to reduce luggage-compartment noise. • Smart Vision Roof using PDLC smart-glass technology. Roof transparency can be independently controlled across six zones. • Built-in refrigerator • High-expansion soundproofing fillers are injected into structural cavities to reduce noise and vibration. Additional reinforced sound-absorbing materials throughout the cabin. • Material choices include natural wood, genuine stone and wool cashmere. • 10–80% charge in ~22 mins • 657 hp • Can configure a 4 seat or 7 seat interior This is not a concept car.

Wolfsburg, Hallo? Noch jemand da? Gestern hat XPeng bewusst München als Ort für die Weltpremiere des L03 gewählt – nicht Shanghai, nicht Guangzhou. Mitten in Deutschland, direkt vor der Automobilindustrie, die man angreifen will.
