Great video. Love the advanced calculations as well as your regular breakdown to us regular folks LOL. Appreciate the time and effort you put into this video.
Great stuff. The crazy thing is that the crosswind component shouldn’t be ignored like in your example. It will create friction losses too. The single most important factor for vehicles at highway speeds and above is wind resistance. Almost all of the other factors can be ignored in modern cars at or above highway speeds.

Has anyone else ever experienced far below expected range due to wind??

I love your range simulator page. Thank you
Bicyclists know all about wind resistance. A 5 mph headwind over 8 hours of pedaling, is a total butt kicker.
Love me some math
5:50 Why is the relative air speed cubed in the line with the numbers plugged in, but just squared in the formula?
Thats crazy
Air resistance is why I want a lowered sedan, I've seen on the Jetta forums guys getting 30mpg over 90 mph
Aren’t ev more aerodynamic
Great video. Warning: This video includes math and science and is not intended for Republicans.
