Your physics instinct is right in a vacuum.

Same speed should be the same kinetic energy.

But the real world adds losses, and those punish hard acceleration:

Electrical losses scale roughly with current², so flooring it wastes more as heat

Motor/inverter efficiency drops at very high power

Tires waste more energy under high torque (slip)

Drag starts biting earlier if you hit high speeds sooner (ever ride a bicycle?)

Moderate, steady acceleration is most efficient. Not crawling, not flooring it. Use ~30–60% pedal (middle way). Smooth, continuous push.

You can still have quick launches occasionally without wrecking your efficiency. Just don’t make it your default mode.

Yeah let's turn $5 packs of cigarettes into $20 packs of cigarettes. And then that extra $15 can go to fund things like human trafficking and hard drugs. Cool! Let's fund human trafficking and hard drugs everybody!

Trump is a hemorrhoid on the asshole of the situation.

Well, if you watch body cam stuff on the tubes. It's definitely not universal. There are some really good cops and then motherfucking wastes of life caught planting drugs and lying and even killing presumably innocent people ...

In cold conditions using the battery to heat itself is more efficient than not.

This reminds me of that one episode of Adventure Time....

The efficiency peaks in the middle.

Yeah but if you go another mile down the road you'll see the sign against abortion.

Dumb dumb.. dumb.. dumb dumb

Stand your ground then. Shrug

Pattern matching.

Just let it die.

I have a friend that knows when to stop when driving when he sees a red circle.

Nope.

Yea.... I'm in my 40s...

I think humanity has jumped the shark.

Nah. They'll certainly train it with decompilers. And this probably means it see the exploits even better than with source code, as the exploit often requires understanding the machine code generated from source code (at least for humans.)

That's a fun one. Malnutrition with caloric excess.

Truly capitalism incarnate.

It's pretty toothless.

They will continue to smoke and vape. I guarantee it. Their activity will simply be criminalized. Which isn't good for anyone.

The evidence shows people will find a way and prohibitions aren't effect and mostly results in inferior and sometimes dangerous product being sold in place of what should be highly regulated and consistent.
