They should add one count of white t-shirt with loafers for a supercar promo photo.

Tesla talks a lot...and media keep posting wishes like facts.

Most of the focus of their comparisons in the reveal video was on the jump in performance from their Intel Macbooks.

I only looked at it for a second but it looked like the campaign itself was only 33gb.  Shared assets keeping that down.

So the steam “update” WAS the campaign, given suspicions the “campaign” was just DLC they made a full game, being less than 40gb makes sense.

*Whispers* Because it is...

So, I bought the vault edition on steam, in the CoD app it shows I own it, but there’s no way I could find to actively click something that said “pre-load”...I don’t think the 30ish GB update it downloaded last night was it (doesn’t seem big enough). Do I already have it or is preloading not available for the steam…

So they’re making a psychosis simulator/generator.

The sharp angles of the Cybertruck make it more like being hit with a battleaxe instead of a normal truck’s “hammer”.

Now you have a car pretending to be a suv pretending to be a “truck”.  Put a lift on a Model Y/X with some offroad tires and 50% more battery weight and you’ll have a pretty good idea how well a Cybertruck does off the pavement.

My knee jerk reaction is that they’ll probably derate the supply to non-Teslas in the name of “safety” when it comes to charging cable temps. There are already cars that charge twice as fast as Tesla, but you need chargers that support the full 800v like EA’s and others. V4 superchargers can theoretically, but will…

GM has a 19.2kW either buried in their parts site or coming soon.  I haven’t looked in a couple months.  They were wanting to have it available by the time ‘24 models started hitting the ground.

...they sold 1,167 in Sept ‘23 alone, prior to that was 850ish in 18 months.  They released demos for sale, which basically made 2000 Hummer’s available overnight.  They just started making non-Edition 1 customer orders this month.  They’re selling as fast as they can make them...when a dealer isn’t trying to get…

...Ozempic isn’t “a weight loss drug” at least not officially/legally.

If you have a ‘24 and get an 80amp EVSE (the charger is technically built into the car), then if you ran it to 0% (something no one does) it would take 10 hours. If you’re doing the more normal thing, keeping it between 20-80% then it’s about 6-7 hours, but if you’re driving 30-60 miles a day it will take about 2…

*Shrug* I have a Hummer EV and I love it, even better if I had been “cursed” with it instead of having to buy it.  I’m a happy “jackass”.

But a couple of things are increasing, charging speeds, usage, and demand.  An 800v car like Kia’s or GM’s Ultium in the Hummer are pulling 300+kW and if unplugged at the suggested SoC of 80%, are still pulling 120-150kW.  Charging rates are only going to continue to increase with high voltages, making each charging…

And they put them in places that make you think you’re meeting someone off craigslist to buy an iPhone. DC fast charging feels skeezy. I can’t imagine the type of person that buys a Lucid Air Sapphire for $250k enjoying the “majesty” of EV ownership having to pull past 18-wheelers getting mobile serviced in a Walmart…

They also need to be doing this because 4 chargers in the back of a Walmart parking lot every 100-150 miles along an interstate just isn’t going to cut it.

They don’t calculate interest at the beginning and add it to the principle from the get-go, it’s calculated monthly at 1/12th the APR. It’s why, if you pay more than the monthly payment, your total interest burden on the note goes down faster...and if you pay the whole note with the first payment, you don’t owe any…
