  Oh wow. Didn’t know they would transport them semi-upright.

    They don’t always. I’ve seen plenty of semi trucks hailing these horizontally on the highway similar to how concrete beams are hauled.

    Well, it sorta makes sense in hindsight, it’d be even longer otherwise + this way you can clear lower obstacles on curves… But holy shit does it look like it shouldn’t be possible. I mean they’re super heavy, right? Right?

      It’s the carbon fiber which is very light and barely recyclable
