This pickup was already massive… then they added a second engine
At WhistlinDiesel headquarters, we push Monster Max 2 closer to its final form - a fully functioning, 40,000-pound pickup powered by two diesel engines producing 1,600 horsepower and 2,000 ft-lb of torque. After months of development, both transmissions finally run together through a custom-built control system, transforming the world’s largest pickup into something shockingly quick. Massive semi-truck brakes, rear steer, and a reworked suspension bring new capability, but extreme weight and top-heavy design push every component to its limits. From crawling uphill in reverse to shredding parts under full throttle, this final progress update proves the lower half works - now it is time to tame the upper half.

Could electric cars have a manual transmission?
This is the second video of a five part series where I’ve partnered with Formula E to answer questions about electric vehicles, and this topic was actually inspired by Renault’s season 2 Formula E car, which uses a 2-speed gearbox matched with a single transversely mounted electric motor. What’s super clever about their set up, is that they have incorporated a manual gear stick, using cables and rods to switch between the two gears, rather than the pneumatic paddle shifters which other teams were using. Renaults solution is simpler, and also lighter, as it doesn’t require onboard pumps or air-tanks for gear shifts. But could this be taken a step further, and incorporate a clutch as well for street cars? I spent some time chatting with the current Formula E champion, Lucas Di Grassi, who spends his free time engineering electric bikes, about this idea. We have two questions to answer: 1. Is it possible? 2. Is it logical?

Why is this Chinese electric car the world's best selling car?
At the beginning of 2021, Tesla Model 3 lost its leadership among the best-selling electric vehicles in the world. In this ranking, it had to give way to the small Chinese hatchback Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV, which in just a few months managed to gather a whole army of loyal fans in its homeland. Now how did that happen? We will tell in this review! Sales began in July 2020 and within the first twenty days the Mini ev manufacturer received 15,000 orders. For six months, this number increased eightfold and amounted to 120,000 cars. And according to the results during the first two months of 2021, the Chinese baby became the best-selling electric car in the world, leaving behind the permanent leader Tesla Model 3. Such impressive sales dynamics were made possible by the unprecedentedly low price of this electric car: just over $4,200 in the basic version and about $5.5 thousand in the improved configuration. For comparison, the price of the Tesla Model 3 in the domestic car market in China is about $42,000, which is 10 times more expensive than the Mini EV. #car #electriccar #china Don’t miss next videos: Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Production Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound
