I don’t understand how that affects anything that I said or is even remotely pertinent to the conversation at hand.

I thought the new raptor was speculated to have a v8?

Sounds unnecessary to me. Any university with an abet mechanical engineering program is going to have some automotive courses. I went to a tiny school and still took engine design courses just for a fun elective, and  I have friends who went straight to Ford after graduation with their bsme 

I mean, the electrostatic cleaning that uses charged ions to direct spray is scientifically effective from what I’ve heard, and quite different than just spraying an area down with a cleaner, but I’m no expert

““electrostatic disinfectant sprayers” will use “negatively charged ions” to clean surfaces between screenings;”

Uh oh. Got a link?

Wow, the luxury EVs have progressed a lot farther than I thought they had - that’s exciting

I’m not sure it’s that boing to contextualize power usage, because you just posted an article about “what uses more power: 1A cords, 2.4A cords, or wireless charging?”

The company you work for is paying to host these comments on your blog, in which you are encouraged to invite discourse, meaning further hosting footprint.

I had the magnet adapter on my old phone, but I lost that specific cable and thus killed its effectiveness. It was great while it lasted, though. I’ve started just leaving a bit of tape over my ports on devices that I don’t charge that frequently, like tablets and such. I can’t imagine trying to keep ports clean with…

Certainly, but doesn’t this mean on a list of ‘bad for the world for additional power generation’ it ranks well below: having a secondary work phone, charging a smartwatch or reader, etc.? I mean, it’s less than 7Wh, roughly on the scale of having to turn on a light and find the right cord and plug it in...

The sole reason that I started using a wireless charger exclusively is that the most common failure point on my phones has been the charging port. Crud and pocket lint gets shoved up there, the contacts wear out, and if a phone case has a little rubber flipper to protect the port, that rubber flipper wears out and…

What? Which stations and cars can do that? I thought only tesla superchargers could do that, and only on the cars with the ability to supercharge

the first person option is awesome, but with no wipers and mud everywhere... it seems poorly planned

I think the roads would be safer if people stopped more often on their road trips, maybe every 3-4 hours. But I think if you’re trying to get somewhere, don’t most charging stations and EVs require more than just 15, or even 30 minutes to top-up, or even get to 80% (or whatever the goal is now for getting best amount…

How long did you normally stop, though? I’m longing for when having an EV be able to conveniently do road trips, but I was under the impression that 15 minutes is quite optimistic in order to get any range

okay but have they added working windshield wipers yet?

I think 15 minutes of charge is still far too little time for the charging technology we’re using right now. Most use cases that these people are describing are using long lunches in order to make road trips feasible/convenient enough to be considered

A new naturally aspirated v6 getting put in the frontier is just cutting edge, okay. pretty much a brand new, bleeding edge vehicle. now, if you’ll just get in your airplane-chair styled driver’s seat...

It never looks like a floating roof - it just looks like nissans have winged eyeliner on their rear windows.
