Um, that’s what happens at the Oscars. It is part and parcel to the show. Chris Rock was doing his job.

All these celebs dressed up and puffed up to maximum narcissism, and the comedians poke fun at their massive egos. And they take it and show that they are “bigger than that”.

Three parts of Oscars:

- fashion and…

What general things does every white trash racist think about black people?

It is Chris Rock’s job to do what he did: pillory celebrities in front of an audience that wants to see it.

Oh and look, and he didn’t write the joke.

I blame scientology. Probably some “make your reality” crap or something like that.

Unfortunately for Jaden, I don’t think he’s getting any roles that aren’t bankrolled by…

Pssst: onsite solar + storage. If the quote is that high, that’s 10x the size of a residential install.

They are (somewhat reasonably) charging for the grid. Bypass the grid.

With storage they can supplement with cheap overnight power as well.

If current automakers don’t figure out cheap EVs, there already exists Chinese makers that have.

They will take over the market. The danger isn’t really Tesla, who CAN make cars cheaper than ICEs but why would they when demand is far higher than their supply?

Tesla is absolutely taking advantage of demand.

Also, the…

THIS. THIS THIS THIS.

And I am a HUGE LFTR/MSR fan.

Baseload is a temporary stopgap until ultracheap/ultraplentiful sodium ion or other grid storage techs take over.

Even if carbon scrubbing is a bit of a bullshit tech, it would still be cheaper to retrofit gas turbines with carbon capture than pursue new nuclear.

I love LFTR, big LFTR nerd. almost 100% fuel use, breed solid rod waste into useable fuel, uses thorium rather than a small fissile uranium isotope, meltdown proof, scalable, modular, Brayton cycle, neutron spectrums and capture, molten salts, low pressure / no gas containment vessels, fast/ondemand startup.

Nuclear is…

And I don’t want to be Economics douchebag, as I hate Economics as a “science”, but the amount of efficiencies delivered by automated long haul trucking will be enormous:

OH LOOK NERD HATE ON JALOPNIK. Whodathunkit.

Supercharger network. 

Are you saying a parked cruise ship is cheaper than new york rent?

...

Including free food?

...

Why aren’t cruise ship operators retiring ships as offshore housing in NYC? 

Then how are shipping container ships economical? The ships are roughly the same size, although cargo is a lot more dense than people. But it’s heavier.

1) everyone has seen mars by now, we have landers there. It’s not full of aliens and floating ships. Rename the planets and technology to a different star system.

2) its story and pulp origins have been rehashed and retreaded by star wars, so even if it was the originator, it felt like a jumbled ripoff to those who…

Stellantis. The whole thing. Just a bunch of backwards companies that aren’t competitive and actively resisting and fighting EV migration.

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO:

1) drive slower on the highway. Yes you can save almost 10-20% in fuel efficiency

2) buy an electric bike or small electric vehicle and use them extensively for short trips.

3) The US should immediately annouce a 500$ subsidy to any small electric vehicle purchase. If we can get 10-20% of…

I hate the petroleum industry and fracking, but the US should have kept the oil industry propped up with a minimum of production in North Dakota as a strategic weapon and hedge against times like these.

As is, our only hope to drop prices to kneecap Russia is to draw down the national petroleum reserve and try to get…

“Mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa”

Jalopnik staff: ok what we heard was:

- more naked Elon hate. Every day. Tesla hasn’t released a new vehicle in production in two years and is largely just a bunch of boring manufacturing scale, but let’s clickhunt with every single Elon thing. He’s the worst! Let’s not cover the great evils of the…

IF (well when) EV drivetrains and battery tech get cheaper than ICEs, then I look forward to getting an EV equivalent like this. It should be way easier to design a bigger skateboard for an EV than having to scale up all those ICE components. The motors have plenty of torque for an RV, it just comes down to a slightly…

I want a good EV Minivan very badly. I hate SUVs. Crossovers are badly designed minivans.

I can’t believe Toyota redesigned a hybrid Sienna and didn’t make it plugin option.

If it’s just another car company, why does this site chase CLICKZZZZ every day with negs? Why are you reading this or commenting about it? Why do you care?

The “nerds” are likely people that 1) understand electrification of the consumer segment would not have happened without Tesla and 2) it represents a massive boon…
