They do but my question is “how the fuck do you screw up holding the car still with permanent magnet motors when you aren’t touching anything?”  For instance, in my Hummer EV, you aren’t going ANYWHERE unless you press the accelerator with regen on (coast off).  And when you do, it’s ONLY forward motion.    I just…

Local dealer wanted $10k over a month ago.  Offering $5k off now.  Hold the line.

Tesla cut ultrasonic sensors and radar to increase margins then said they could achieve similar results with what are basically turn of the century web cams and “AI”...and guess what? They can’t. Bright flashing lights, fog, rain, etc. all obscure a view of the world unaugmented by redundant data from radar and…

...Or Tesla could undo the cost-cutting that led them to attempt ADAS systems with nothing but webcam circa 2000 resolution cameras. Others uses short and long range ultrasonic, radar, lidar, high-res (modern) cameras, etc.

And the Hummer recall was because of improperly applied sealer on a batch of packs, which only really effected you if you forded a river.  I think the grand total of effected packs was 60-70ish.  

Just going to put this out there, if you get a cast member, Annual Pass, D23, or DVC preview reservation, you don’t need a park pass for that day, you’ll get one with the reservation.  So anyone booking those days before getting a preview invite is wasting a space.

...the last time an airline “lost” my luggage was over 30 years ago when I was a kid. I always check.  Nearly 100 flights without a luggage mishap.  You’ll find me sitting with a backpack just big enough for an iPad and Steamdeck.

I’ve also never had a CCS handle get hot enough to cause 2nd degree burns, even when pulling 360kW with the Hummer. For comparison, a CT or Model S pulling 700amps on a Supercharger gets the NACS handle over 130F.  NACS is too thin for the cooling needed for cars that charge faster than a Tesla.

NACS is too small for proper heat dissipation as it is and will only get worse. I’m almost certain the main reason for the delay in V4 is safety/heat and being unable to engineer around a plug that’s too small and a cable that’s too thin for proper cooling...and since their WHOLE thing is a thin cable and small plug,…

Get Back - Ludacris putting it reverse

...no shit.  It’s not a tool shed from Lowes you put up over the weekend.

They should have just made a $1500ish media consumption device that weighed 50-75% as much as it does with straps that don’t just look good but evenly distribute the weight. Basically Apple’s interpretation of something like xReal’s or Viture’s glasses. No one wants to wear a nose heavy, migraine inducing headset for…

If the plan is to just make EVs and hope they sell to EV skeptical people, then yes, it’s going to fail. Once you’ve satiated the EV curious, the early adopters, etc. you have to start courting the skeptical and that’s a WHOLE different thing. Almost like deprogramming a cult member. Also, the ramp up in EV sales they…

...why would premiums shoot up if a comparatively cheap drug reduced the need for:

Anyone else just laugh at all of these “GLP-1 cures *insert ailment caused by obesity*” posts that act like its not the most obvious outcome of losing weight? Breaking News: LOSING WEIGHT CURES A LOT OF CHRONIC ISSUES!

Just going to point out the use of “88" (a Thursday in the middle of the summer) is not coincidental, especially given what he’s tweeting through.

...I only bought my truck BECAUSE it was an EV, first pickup I’ve ever personally owned. Family owned a LOT while I was growing up, every model of Sierra Denali since they started making them. Guess I’m the sliver of overlap. I wanted an EV, I have a family that hauls a lot of stuff, an open bed is nice to have when…

Closer and closer to “A Taste of Armageddon” from Star Trek: TOS.  A society so advanced they eliminate war by simulating it and having the “casualties” report to suicide booths.  I’m guessing robot on robot proxy wars is on that trajectory.

Surgeon here. This is the equivalent of using it to “remember” what utensils to place at a formal dinner setting. It generated the headlines they wanted but they basically wasted $4k of government money for a lark. It’s not like the surgery was impossible without it or the outcome improved. The scrub nurse was…

We’d have normally heard about an E63 at this point of the new E-Class lifecycle...but it feels like AMG was caught off guard with the reaction to the C63 E Performance. I’d almost bet money this WAS the E63 E Performance before the reaction to the C63. Before that release I would have said the chance the next E63 was…
