I know all those exist and are possible. My point is that if you have a full stack of software already developed for pretty much all your range (like TP-Link does) bringing up a whole new one with Wifi drivers, NAT stack, etc just for the l

I think the point in this car is that they have enough torque to spin the tires at any of those speeds where they've had to "nerf it" to make things smooth. Once you're at that point might as well take advantage of it to

That's confusing. "Air cooled" usually means exactly that there is no "intermediary coolant". At the end of the day almost all equipment cools to the atmosphere after all. The difference between liquid cooled and ai
