One thing I learned from a video is it needs to be secured somewhere within reach of your driving position.

My issue is the subsidized insurance they get from the Fed’s.

chicken n egg. It’s cheaper to mine new because it’s very energy intensive to recycle the batteries currently.

Again, they’re doing more than we are to get to green. It doesn’t happen overnight.

Hydrogen is far and away made from fossil fuels currently. So we’d need an entire new industry that doesn’t yet exist for that.

Dunno, the smiles when they heard that giant sucking sound seemed pretty genuine

I’m a northern native, anything about 72 is generally too hot for me. But we did a family reunion/vacation in an unairconditioned cabin for a week in 90+ and when we came home decided to try and not re-acclimate as much.

EVs have some as yet unsolved recycling issues, but beyond that they’re far and away better than ICEs in terms of lifetime CO2 release.

They’re at 40+% clean energy generation annually *today*. We’re at barely 20% in only a single month.

Given the success of Ingenuity, some future missions may have some sort of docking bay, to allow that type of maintenance.  Probably underneath to allow safe access by the river driving over it

...ended.

I’d assume the absolute rule is never going anywhere near the rover. Just too much risk of it choosing on that moment to die and damage the rover

the ‘air’ is so thin it has very very little force, even at the insane rpms of the blades on Ingenuity.

oh dear lord my old eyes. I read that at 1 point 529 ICE fires per 100,000

Shuddering and isolated brown/blackouts is not ‘ready’.

that sorta proves his point though, 15x more battery fires per 100,000 vehicles.

I wonder if we’ll see range caveat’s in ads. Like 400hp @ 5300 rpm etc.

Tesla is already at about 50% of production with LFP batteries which don’t have thermal runaway issues.

How?  The simulation programmers were just testing something out and forgot to stop it
