My only concern is that airlines will use it as an excuse to say “Suck it!”

Hopefully no one believes that petroleum will always be feasible. At least for you and me to get around town.

Well, hopefully no speed reductions. If we can design roads that have fewer dangers and pedestrian interaction, the established formula would suggest the road’s speed limit can increase.

when considering charge cycles adding 60% one day is the same as adding 20% each day for 3 days.

I wish laptops would let you limit charge to 80% like the cars do.

A point of Clarification: always have your EV on the charger if not in use. The battery reduces how much it will thermally manage if you don’t have it plugged in. Set the charge limit to 80-90% to avoid degradation and keep it plugged in so it can thermally manage and you’ll maximize the life

It’s terrifying that 6-8,000lb SUVs are what soccer moms will be operating pretty soon. Now look, I own (and use) a 1500 pickup truck and as a result, my registration fees and fuel fees are far greater than other vehicles. But considering my pickup truck’s weight is being eclipsed by electric sedans (let alone…

They know that even if they were choking on all the lithium in the universe they are so far behind the EV development curve that by the time they get to critical mass with electrified product density it will be too late.

Please provide your data and research that suggests that Petroleum is “essentially infinite”.

Most people just don’t know what to do. Good example would be when a bunch of cars are sitting at a red light, an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind, and the light suddenly turns green.

I’ve said for a long time that Mazdas look a lot more premium than they are. They have very good design language and features. I ended up owning a CX5 GT for some time before we up-sized.

I wanted my own thread, so I copied my reply.

This is less about constricting drivers and more about allowing cars and pedestrians to co-exist without the unnecessary threat of danger they’re constantly facing.

The subpoena specifically requires GitHub to disclose the name, address, telephone number, email address, social media profile information, and IP address of any user associated with the account that uploaded the code, which goes by the username “FreeSpeechEnthusiast”

With how large the batteries are, it’s even more complicated than a true end of life. Small batteries eventually die, but a car battery would be more likely to lose total charge. You could lose 20%+ and still have a completely functional and useful vehicle, so you’re concern would be more about how far down that…

At work I have to keep my laptop plugged in all the time because the USB C dock won’t work if the power cord is unplugged. And I need the dock to be able to work. I wish laptops could be smarter and run off the power from the USB C cable and bypass the battery. I have Dell Precision workstation that is less than a…

You think all warranties will cover that? Especially the crap Telsa pulls? That is posted on here.

“Don’t charge it every night or everywhere you go.” I think Tesla recommends you do charge every night (or keep it plugged in when not in use is their words) to increase longevity.

Not necessarily the case, I do believe in The Italian Tuneup. Driving an ICE too lightly can also do damage, particularly with carbon buildup and seal issues. Batteries also don’t seem to have routine maintenance. You use/cycle them until they are no longer functional and then you just replace them.

I wonder if it would be feasible to have battery electronics use a mode that basically cycles the power from 20-80%, even when plugged in. I’m one of the aforementioned “laptop that’s always plugged in” types, and it’d be neat if there was a way for me to tell the computer “you’re going to be plugged in a long time,…
