Alternative opinion. Lightning is a better standard than USB-C. USB-C is inherently weaker due to the center bit of the female side of the connector standard.

Living in California with lane splitting, electric bikes, and rental scooters littering every sidewalk, I have to imagine getting around in New York City is a relative nightmare. Now if anyone needs me, I’ll be spending the next three hours in gridlock traffic to drive six miles.
Also note that the solar and powerwall business help support the supercharger business. They use that tech where it makes sense so they don’t get hosed with utility costs.
tesla’s business portfolio isn’t limited to cars
US parades are invasions.
The D in P100D is for dual-motor.
Maybe audi/porsche use the same “standards” as they did with their diesels..
Tesla has most of what’s been outlined here. Their battery packs monitor/cool/heat on per cell level. You can’t replace specific modules as easily, but who has needed to? (Tesla degradation is <1% per year and the packs built in the last few years have been /very/ solid) Teslas also have heat pumps on the motors as,…
And excuses, apparently.
It’s impossible to talk about Russian cars without delving into stereotypes. And this is because America is among…
Right, because not investing in the technology or R&D will surely bring the costs down in the future. That’s like saying “I don’t know the answer to this test question, I’ll go play halo and see if I know it later”.
Maybe BMW should select one of their current range of cars to go outright BEV in its next generation with no compromises. The 7 series would seem to be the most likely one to select, with its low volume sales, and high prices (to absorb the high cost of the battery pack).
Yup. Dear BMW, nobody wants an EV that’s shoehorned into a vehicle designed for ICE and therefore not at all optimized for its characteristics and packaging. Try harder, you’re BMW ffs.
60-80kwh is not a small pack in current technology.
Now that I think about it, BMW like a lot of other manufacturers promising pie in the sky EV transition (most notably Toyota) are banking on solid battery technology vastly shrinking the battery. Then it could be more easily shoehorned into existing platforms or…
Everyone’s acronym game is weak these days. HUD? Naw. HECKIN.
Helmet Extended Communication and Kinematic Information Node.
All the F-35 pilots get to wear their HECKIN helmets.
I’m critical of the program for a variety of reasons. It’s been riddled with problems from the get-go, and the results haven’t exactly impressed me. From where I sit, the F-35 is mostly a tech development platform. It _might_ serve to show the way for the generation after it ... maybe.
Eurofighter Typhoons?
“That will give information about the advanced capabilities of the fighter...”
The information for the plans of a fighter jet that has been in production for years and had the blueprints shamelessly stolen by Chinese hackers then successfully reverse-engineered, copied, and put into production in less than 1/3rd the…
Not only was Erdogan purchasing weapons from NATO’s notional adversary, the S-400 missile system is incompatible with Link 16, the alliance’s secure digital communications standard. More importantly, it would also be incompatible with NATO “identify friend or foe” systems, allowing it to ignore friendly alliance…
