Diesels also run cooler. Most of the time an engine is used under light load, to maintain speed of the car. A diesel, unlike an Otto engine takes in the full amount of air under light load, this reduces the temperature of the exhaust gasses tremendously. That reduces problems with valves, is easier on the oil, seals etc.
They may have been tested insufficiently for use on 240V wallsockets or they try to save a buck by using 250V caps in Murica instead of the proper 400V ones.
I don't know about Mercedes, but the hydraulic suspension systems on citroen vehicles actually was very reliable and problem free if and only if it would get the right kind of maintenance, like changing hydraulic fluid every 60.000km and cleaning the filters and checking the pressure on the pressure spheres. Although easy to fix, most garages would not know about this or charge rediculous prices for it, lease companies don't care, so the cars have a bad reputation and can be bought cheap with totally clogged hydraulics and no suspension at all.
Would you leave a child in the hand of his biological parents with all the risks involved of abuse, neglect or plain stupidity or would it be better to let certified proffessionals handle raising kids.
like knowing about boolean algebra & bit setting (a | 14) bit resetting (a & ~(14)) etc.
I notice with myself at 44 that I stop giving a shit about new stuff like smartphones and java and apps and building websites.
I graduated technical school just before the internet became a thing.
And I stopped gaming in the 80486 era.
Now get off my lawn.
You kind of forgot that a big part of the thrust in a jet engine and to a lesser degree also in turbofans comes from the thermal expansion of gasses as a result of burning fuel. That factor falls away with electric fans.
Are fuel cells+electric fans more efficient than running jet engines on hydrogen directly? I can see 1 point in doing it: the water generated by fuel cells is not directly released high up in the sky and thus there will be no contrails. Contrails are really a problem in many areas blocking sunlight during some wheater conditions.
But they have been successfully used on German zepplins in the 1930ties. They are a bit heavier than otto engines of the same hp, but that is offset by needing 40% less fuel. Something that matters a lot when doing transatlantic flights. They are also more reliable and more suitable to turbo charging, wich is essential on greater hights.
Crumpelzones benefit all parties. And things like explosive bolts can be added to drop the engine and tranny below the car to maximize those crumpelzones.
That soilid steel pole shouldn't be there. It should be a relatively thin-walled tube with engineered failpoints that would make slamming into it a safe way to stop your car.

Tried that, didn't block the signal.

... not cool enough. Everyone has them....!

That must have been the Citroën Xantia Activa.

I'm quite disappointed with the ride quality of most hookers.
It would be most helpful if high speed roads would have higher outer corners

I don't see why a heavier engine is a problem if that means lugging tons less fuel.
Less chance of being barbecued in a crash also, or silly people torching large buildings with planes.
or twisted rubber band.....
No water vapor either, so none of these pesky contrails.

Jet engines are already a kind of turbo diesel engines, so that would just be a step back
