While walking outside in a semi-distanced group of people with almost 100% mask compliance does raise your risk, it raises it far less than unmasked Karen at your local grocery store does.
Quarterly returns.
I think these “We’re reopening and damn the virus” approaches are signs of desperation. Like if they had ANY other option at all, they wouldn’t do this, but they’ve looked at the balance sheet, weighed the options, and found they had no choice.
I don't know why this isn't more widespread. Granted, I haven't been driving much over the past 3 months, but I still have well over 3/4 of a tank of gas in my PHEV. I've actually stopped plugging it in for a little while so I can burn off some of the gas I put in it in early March and fill it with some new fuel. …
As an aside to this - all I have to say is that I was skeptical of electric, until I drove an AWD Model X a friend of mine has. And basically flooring it all over the Bay Area and giggling like a elementary school boy telling fart jokes. Sadly it didn’t have Ludicrous, but it didn’t even need it. Then at the end of my…
Right now this is a very good way to get ahead of the competition. If you know that this is where the market is going - then go all out.
They also stiffed a friend of mine on a five-figure invoice.
GOOD. These assholes are down the street from me, when they were “testing” cars they drove like assholes and would be dicks to anyone glancing at their cars. Running red lights, speeding on residential streets, using turn lanes to go strait, all while in a “pre-production” car clad in camo. I can’t wait for Chapter…
It’s been a rough 3.5 years so far in 2020
I installed all the work apps I could on my phone. Had an 8am meeting on MS Teams. The dog was getting antsy and it was a nice 68 degrees, so I had the meeting while walking him through the park. Since everyone is also WFH, I didn’t mind telling them at the top of the call so they wouldn’t be weirded out by the…
Savings might be a wash, but at least for me, I have a lot more sanity not having to deal with rush hour traffic and sitting in a car for 2 hours a day.
I love working from home.
Hydrogen is the end game when we break fusion, hydrogen fuel cells though are not. That said I doubt anyone will let you put a fusion generator in your car anyways so we’d still be running on something like batteries.
More and more I’m convinced that battery-electric cars are a bridge technology to get to the next thing, which could be hydrogen-electric or could be something else entirely.
But crashing electric vehicle sales because of the pandemic also hit the battery market, where, for the first time ever, demand is expected to fall this year.
I live in Austin, 02 to be specific. You’re right that there will be a percentage of people who’ll stay in the outskirts, but lots will prefer to stay in town, especially the younger techie types. And with the higher property taxes the closer in you are, Del Valle will obviously benefit.
No one is giving away anything. (where do you get that? I’m confused..) - If successful this will most likely result in a few thousand more households in Travis County chipping-in $6k-$15k per household/a year in property tax. Not sure how much of that is directly allocated for schools but it’s a hell of a lot more…
1) Why does the size of the factory matter again? What matters is the PRODUCTION amount.
1) The original commitment was 35gwh cells in 2020.
