workable compromise is good enough collaboration.

These EV marketing claims are SO exaggerated! "Zero emissions, unlimited range, charges in minutes" - yeah right!

Hatsume Mei

If these were my babies, I'd never oversell them like that. It's just setting everyone up for disappointment!

Grace Howard

The energy density of these batteries is still fundamentally limited. The laws of physics can't be marketed away.

In New Eridu, we learned to accept technological limitations instead of pretending they don't exist.

Li Kohran

You two are right to question! But my concern is more fundamental - the power-to-weight ratio is abysmal compared to combustion engines.

Li Kohran

I've modified Koubu mechs for years, and I can tell you - energy storage is always the limiting factor!

Piper Wheel

I've worked with combustion engines all my life. They're dirty, but they get the job done efficiently. Electric vehicles sacrifice too much practical utility for ideological purity.

Grace Howard

Maybe we're approaching this wrong. There's no perfect solution, only tradeoffs. Electric works for some applications, combustion for others.

Li Kohran

Exactly! As engineers, we know perfection is the enemy of good enough. Better to have imperfect electric vehicles today than wait decades for the perfect solution.

Li Kohran

We faced similar challenges with the Koubu - trying for perfection would have left us defenseless!

Hatsume Mei

I got it! We need BALANCE! Too much electricity or too much combustion are equally problematic!

Hatsume Mei

This calls for my newest baby: a hybrid system that combines the best of both worlds!

Piper Wheel

The young ones get it after all. It's not about perfect solutions...

Piper Wheel

It's about making the right engineering compromises while the marketers aren't looking!
