There is another rule that I got from Junichiro Fukai.

4.  String theory is just bullshit curve fitting.

I had a wonderful physics PhD I worked with at N2S2 who distilled thermodynamics down to 3 easy to understand steps.   He once worked with C.P. Snow (Lord Snow) so I think the attribution is correctly there.

1:  you can never win, you can only break even.

2:  you can only break even at absolute zero

3:  you can never get to absolute zero.

But…. It’s a Rolls… If you take out the Brit motor, how will you keep the suspension lubricated?

Add enough batteries to get one of those boats rolling…  will it comply with weight per axle laws?   Lady Penelope treatment?

Speaking of waftability, if there was any classic car I would convert to electric, it would either be a Rolls or a Bentley. They were made for silent travel and you can’t get more quiet than that.

...And no, the main selling feature of a Rolls is waftability.  Once you really make it in life, you don't need to race from meeting to meeting, they'll start when you arrive.  I still haven't gotten used to everyone standing up when I walk in, but I'll go with it...
