Indeed, but it does so by filling every inch of space. There's no front trunk, and the backseats and trunk are relatively cramped. Further improving on that pits you against the laws of physics: even if you could, say, safely double th

For the COPV alone. If we can ignore the associated hardware, a flask with some lithium could do 11kWh/Kg, if only it were to combust with the surrounding air in a spontaneous Li-Air cell. Aside from mass, volume is fundamental on a te

A typical Mirai fuel consumption is 0.76kg/100km in similar driving conditions with a Tesla doing 15kWh/100km, so real world fuel density is 20kWh/kg - with a corresponding decrease in COPV density. You would then almost halv

Firstly, the energy density of hydrogen is a lie. Yes, the fuel itself has the highest know energy content per mass, but it's nearly useless as a gas. To reach any useful volume density you need a high pressure COPV tank that weights a

You can easily fit 128 bit addresses into an IPv4 header - or you could in the 90s, before filtering out IP options became more widespread. See in this thread my comment on how you could arrange the header and address to make this work. Leg

In retrospect, the decision to bootstrap IPng as a hierarchically routed superset of IPv4 seems painfully obvious. A quarter of a century later the great IPv6 transition is still incomplete and the limits of IPv4 continue to haunt us. The I
