Sweet! 30hp for free.
While I don’t work on engine ECU’s directly, it’s my understanding that the fuel/throttle/air mapping is somewhat ‘general purpose’ out of the factory. In other words, it’ll work well at higher altitudes but may not be highly tuned when at sea level. They compromise. It seems odd to get free HP but I believe this is generally the case for most mass production vehicles.
What do you have that has 750hp?
” Problem is energy efficiency. As a whole, battery vehicles are pretty horrible on efficiency from source energy. Gas is better.”
Battery and motor net: > 70%
ICE and transmission net: < 35%
The current Lexus LS 500 has a touch pad controller in it. Its so distracting and time consuming that a number of car experts refuse to recommend it because of this. It’s a deal breaker.
Thx, I’ll check it out...

Current Lexus has touchscreen.
I do understand.
Think of the best managers like you would President Trump.
He never ran a government before. So the Deep State told us he’d be a disaster if we elected him.
However, he’s smart, he knows how to delegate, he doesn’t micromanage, and he’s quick to replace a failing talent with somebody else if need be.
So you can have person who is an excellent manager even when they don’t have all the skills of a company, but then, who would?
It’s not THAT rare of a skill. A good manager listens and reacts. He trust his key people but is willing to listen to all and when a key person is not a good fit, he replaces them.

Yes. Mileage and warranty concerns.
My computer also contains ignition and cam curves.
Congratulations - that is a beauty!
coding and computers are overrated. Important to persons other than drivers.
Thank you. I asked my wife if she wanted to go look at a Bullitt with me. While waiting on the Salesman to get the keys my wife pointed to it and said she liked this one better. I didn’t argue!

And, from what great oracle do you receive your version of plain unvarnished truth?
Could you post a link?
They also have to tune for fleet economy and emissions.
Once off the showroom you can retune. Easy to still meet 50 state certs.
Depends on your definition of’drivers’?
The standard Mustang comes with four performance modes.
The normal mode doesn’t give you the full rated performance but fleet certs use this mode since it is the default mode.

Sort of related.
Your TV comes with a default viewing mode. You can adjust to a better, brighter picture but you won’t be getting the same energy use proudly advertised on that EPA sticker.
