Indeed, regenerative braking only recovers 40-60% of kinetic energy back to electrical. That said, there are of course sweet spots. (e.g., high air resistance at higher speeds vs low speed and drivetrain friction, etc.) It would be interesting to model this and see the efficiency points!

Coasting (if available in your vehicle) with regen inputs from a blended brake pedal, for the win. Maximum use of kinetic energy for going far, then regen when you finally need to slow down. Works impressively well.

Was this from the aircraft that was missing after the flight? What a mess it is inside such a strong storm. In earlier flights it was easy to see inside the structure of the storm, but with such high wind speeds, it's so much harder to get a clear picture. Simply amazing work!

Best of luck recovering it! Hoping you find the incredible data it must have from that monster storm. Sending best wishes to the team for your amazing work.

Thanks for all your efforts, we stay glued to the outlooks and data products from SPC during these events!

I hear you. It definitely happens pretty frequently. I have to rotate every 3 months or so. I have a QuickJack lift in the garage, so I tend to do most of the rotations myself on a free Saturday or Sunday afternoon (if they happen to exist), but I bring in every 10k miles or so for balancing.

Highly recommend it! Makes a big difference in how quiet your tires are between rotations, and allows you to use your tire's tread life warranty, if you keep receipts or logs of it. Other extreme is to not rotate at all, but your tires will wear out much faster and generally not evenly.

I may not know you personally, but I wish you all the best in recovering from this and establishing a semblance of normalcy. Thanks for all you do for us in your profession.

That'd be far too great an inductive leap, right?... /s

Thank you for your courage in posting this. People need to understand the value that international (and national) Ph.D. students bring. I've been grateful to mentor several, and none of them would deserve this mistreatment. Stand up for the future of the US research enterprise!
