Thinking that one company is going to solve full self driving is a fools errand.  It is going to take a huge team to make it happen.  And by that I mean, automakers, camera and sensor makers, and local/state/federal governments.  There will need to be sensors and cameras all over the place that will work in tandem…

You need to get a hobby if something like that irks you so much.  Mind your own damn business.

Thats how I sold my Audi last summer.  Its a fairly obscure car from the 90s that also had issues.  I took it to run errands and put the sign up wherever I was parked and I caught a buyer that way.  

I’ve got a good handle on what kind of power everything in my house uses. I learned a ton from our electrician when we re-did the entire house in 2022.  But if I had a large draw and didnt know what might be causing it like OP, I’d definitely go full Dad Mode and figure it out with this.

Yup, same here. I am not a lease person in the slightest bit, but right now it really makes a ton of sense.  And two years free charging (at specific locations), these leases are essentially free while also not taking the depreciation hit.

That would drive me up the wall to not know whats using all that power!

My parents and a close friend went up to a dealership in Carson and both picked up Ioniq 5s on the same day and freaking love them.  They are on the lease currently, but thats mostly due to the screaming deal there.  The tech will be more shaken out by the time the lease ends and theyll buy next.

People have to be ready for a new car, for one. They have to be in a position to change their lifestyle to move from gas to electric, moving from something familiar to something that is going to take years to even start to approach a setup that is as ubiquitous. Financially able to add a charger at their homes (if…

If you have a hot tub, those chug power.  Older appliances also use a lot of power.  We have solar so I have no idea what things use anymore.  We over-generate all our power needs by about 2000 kwh annually, but when we got rid of the hot tub we went from a slight over-generation to a major over-generation.  My…

He is literally not going to allow Tesla to produce certain new things unless he gets his $56 BILLION bonus.  So he will eventually bankrupt it one way or another.

His political views are disgusting.  To call them “quarrels”, get fucked.

Aside from that you using a lot of power (not judging btw), no one should need to power their homes for a month.  Charge during the day with renewable energy, discharge at night.  Have a battery that will outlast a few cloudy days and thats perfect.  Why they are even thinking about an entire month seems silly to me.

Why would you need to power a single home for a month.  That battery should be split in 10 and hold enough energy to power many homes a few days at a time.

I thought “unhoused” was the term we were supposed to use over “homeless”.  WTF world am I in?

Should have made that Demon.

As a family that owned many Saabs (still own a ‘91 9000 Turbo), I miss Saabs very very much.

The very rare times that I have seen a pump down at Costco, at least by me (San Diego), they add an X over the indicator lights.  Surprised that isnt at all Costcos.

User name checks out

Thats a unique situation though. Costco has the indicators above the pumps to show if they are open and like lemmings (myself included) will simply follow those. If a pump is shut down, the light switches to an X and I’ve seen that work flawlessly. When pumps go down at a normal, non-Costco station, its a minor annoyan…

What? I am 100% for EVs, but thats more thought than I’ve put into picking/finding a gas station in my 40 year life. It will be decades before gas stations are considered outdated, and thats being optimistic.
