I realized this when I was 300-ish feet up a towering, windblown dune in the Mojave Desert, in a vehicle canted at roughly 30 degrees. I was in a Mercedes-Benz GLC EV prototype that was sliding sideways, nose at the sky, maintaining a four-wheel high-incline drift with its limitless electric torque.
