I saw a Tesla S chassis displayed recently and the sheer simplicity really hit home. An electric motor replacing all those parts for fuel, cooling, lubrication, pistons, valves, cams , ignition , filters , exhaust , plumbing etc to eek out efficiency, not to mention multiple transmission parts and the damn thing does 0-100 in 4 seconds.
I'm not ready for simplicity. I'm too young for that. Lemme smash some more car parts on this thing first.
