I was talking about if you pull up to a charger and there are 4 people in front of you. You don’t know how long each of them will be there, where as for a gas car 5-10 min per car is easy to assume. When, once you start throwing non-tesla’s into the Tesla charger mix, you have even more variables.

Now how do you do that for the 4 people in front of you waiting to charge too? That is what I am talking about, not for your own use. But with gas cars you can easily assume that each car will take 5-10 min to refuel, so if there are 4 people in front of you 20-40 min wait time. With 4 EV’s in front of you it could be…

I think they meant that you don’t know how long the person in front of you is going to take to charge.

Yea I’ve told a few people this. A 40amp charger is certainly a nice-to-have, but unless you’re a traveling salesman putting a few hundred miles in per day, it’s hardly needed. Average commuters in smaller evs can get-by on 120v outlets just fine, and any kind of 240v means you’ve got plenty of wiggle room.

The parking…

I think we have to take those milage numbers on the EVs, practically. The 237mile you provided is with 100% charged battery. Since it is recommended to only charge to 80%, that drops the mileage to ~190 miles. It is also recommended that we do not drive with battery below 20% charge. That further brings down the real…

I meant if you pull up to a charger with others waiting. You have no idea how long the people in front of you are going to take. Could be 10 min or 30 or more or less since different cars charge at different rates and could need more or less charge to get to their destination. Where with most ICE or gas-powered…

IMO it does not make sense to buy an EV if you are planning to rely on a charging network for anything outside of the occasional longer trip. If it is your commuter car, you’d better have a 40Amp+ charger in your garage or dedicated parking space. Anything else and you’re better off with a PHEV, HEV, or just regular…

My wife and I went to the Carlsbad Outlet Mall 2 Saturdays ago and we got there right as t Mall opened at 10am. There is a very large Tesla Super Charger and another non-tesla charging station.

God, Paramount is just setting fire to the whole Trek franchise all of a sudden, huh? Discovery is cancelled (it was not intended as the final season, though some last-minute reshoots in the last episode were done to make the ending more conclusive) Lower Decks is cancelled, Prodigy is cancelled and shipped off to…

What is goinkg on with your keyboard?

Man remember all the colors you could get from a freakin Mirage?

Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab investor KLP

Ah but unions give a modicum of power to the underclass, and lets them have a voice, however small, against the oligarchy. Thus, every action must be devoted to crushing it.

IT workers will continue to get the shaft and be “on call” during non-business hours no matter how short the work week is.

First gear:

The prices for some of these trucks are obscene. Last year I briefly considered replacing my 25-year-old truck and keeping my 10-year-old sedan. To get an F150 or F250 fairly well equipped, but not even fully optioned, was well into the $70k territory.  I kept my old truck and bought a new car instead.  The old…

So a Chubbatruck is the vehicle version of Truth Social stock? Cool.

Won’t matter to the Musk stans, they won’t be deterred in their ardent sniffing of the man’s shorts.

The problem is with Tesla’s culture as a whole. To build a good manufacturing organization, you need to nurture expertise and talent, and invest in people — and there is nothing Elon Musk hates more, or respects less, than people. (Why do you think he cares so much Full Self-Driving and humanoid robots? Because he…

anyone who willingly bought a cybertruck after knowing everything about Elon and Tesla honestly deserves to have their trucks bricked lol 

Does this car look 20 years old? The first gen Mazda3 set the standard for what a compact car could look like and be. And I dare say it still looks better than 99% of the new compact cars/crossovers being sold today.
