The thing is most people that are on a road trip will usually stop charging at 80% anyway. Because of the way that charging tapers dramatically at the end of a fast charge cycle, that last 80% takes a relatively long time compared to the first 80%.

Nuclear is boomer tech at this point. No, SMRs are not going to be a thing.

Its got that “Last of the V8 interceptors” look and I’m more than fine with that.

That is incorrect.

You really should read it. Amendment two in it’s entirety reads “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” the well regulated state militia i.e National guard, is the focus of this line hence the comma. It’s not a…

“Honestly sports cars in general will die off if we ever get AV5 figured out.”

The charges aren’t correct, the sentence is an absolute miscarriage of justice, and if the dude was white, he would have gotten a slap on the wrist in comparison.

The old “We’re not evil, just totally incompetent” defense. Exactly what you want to hear coming from the people who are legally authorized to arrest and kill citizens.

Oh yay, found the contrarian Republican who is simultaneously pro-war and anti-war. Or pro-whatever-Trump-tweets-on-any-given-day.

1st gear: It isn’t just truckers that are a problem. A lot of good blue color jobs were dominated by Boomers. Truckers, welders, machinists, electricians, plumbers, etc. The Boomers were (and still are) a HUGE generation. All these Boomers in these jobs drove down the wages for them. What used to be a mid-middle to…

This tech is also evolving super quick, a problem from last year might be gone this year. I still don’t expect full Level 5 for a very long time, like 5-10 years out. But Level 4 on the highway makes sense as the first big thing to tackle and we should be there in the next 1-3 years, depending mostly on legislation.

Godwins law died when the cheeto fuckstick proved all those people that were getting called nazis on the internet over the past couple decades actually were nazis. 

No Teslas?

That is easy.

“Wah science fiction lied to me,” he complained, using a device that taps into a bottomless library of human knowledge in any form he wants it, using a processor that didn’t even exist theoretically a decade ago, that’s available at the lowest cost in the history of his entire species.

Fuck off Torch. The fuck are your bringing stans into this for? Can you not write a single article without including that? No one gives a fuck about whether it exploded or not in terms of how successful the launch was. Elon Musk knows this and no one who gives a single fuck about space flight does either. This is a…

A guy named Jeff has gotta drive a Jag.

The range estimates comparisons have mainly been from a misunderstanding of EPA figures. EPA’s default range number is based on a combined cycle that includes the city cycle with a lot of stop and go, while most people instead compare range to steady state highway range (usually around 70mph).
