It was impossible for them to keep their EV market share. If you have 95% of the market, and suddenly there are 30+ competitors, of course they’re going to take some of it away.

Except it wasn’t a natural forest. It was a tree farm. There is this whole thing called “forestry” that involves harvesting trees as a renewable resource. They cut down 500,000 trees and proceeded to plant 1,000,000 more elsewhere.

“We are considerably ahead of where Tesla is. We’ve taken that mantle. When I was at Tesla, Tesla was the tech leader. They’ve become distracted, and we have taken that place,” he said, referring to what he believes is Lucid’s tech advantage in batteries, software, and powertrain.

My house and car use bluetooth, so no internet is no problem. For payments, if the internet is down, credit cards weren’t going to work anyway.

It’s wild how the implementation of TPMS varies so much between manufacturers. Some tell you low pressure, some show the exact pressure of all 4 tires. Some you need a tool to reset, reading the sensors in a specific order, while others automatically calibrate once you start driving. I’m at the point now where all 4…

The better implementation of this would be to have the ID accessible from the lock screen, but then just show basic info and a QR code. The officer then scans the QR code with their own phone, which pulls up your full information so they wouldn’t even need to look closely at your phone let alone touch it.

You realize that it is Boeing that is responsible for the Boeing Starliner issues, and not SpaceX, which is a separate company, right?

Are electric vehicles more likely to catch on fire in event of a crash

Or what makes it different than a normal semi truck carrying 150 gallons of diesel fuel? Which for the record is also a hazardous material that releases toxic fumes when burned, and doesn’t even need to be mixed with water first for it to leach into the groundwater.

Mostly for when you’re just driving and working the accelerator and brake simultaneously. If you’re slowing down a lot, slow down first, then shift. You can still use your right foot to brake if your left foot is busy, it doesn’t mean 100% of your braking needs to be left foot.

Have it be an option that can be flipped off then, for those who want to put in the minimal effort required. Traction control and stability control generally do have toggle switches.

Accelerator pedal cutoff when you touch the brake pedal.

In the US anyway, the wall box isn’t really doing much. It really is basically what you’re asking for but just just a bulkier shape than you’re expecting, because of the existing WiFi, existing in-line billing meter, load balancing / over-current protections that aren’t in a standard wall socket. The car itself has…

The whole system needs to be simplified. I think L2 charging energy management should be built right into the cars rather than requiring an external charging station. Instead of pricey charging stations that businesses have to buy and maintain, they just need a 240v outlet with some kind of lock that can be activated…

The Cybertruck is available to drive on games like Fortnite, but doing so could brick your progress

Haven’t watched the video, but just from the GIF, I think it’s as simple as he used the wrong word. Ben Sullins is not a car guy, he’s a business guy that has gotten into the EV/green space.

has an integrated retractable coiled plug to charge up. This is largely a solution for European-style charging where the user is expected to supply a cable to connect from vehicle to public charging infrastructure, but it could come in handy here in the U.S. as well, allowing the Panda (and future Stellantis EV…

The tax credit has a $55,000 MSRP cap. Since this starts at $61k, I don’t know how they expect it to qualify.

“The impetus behind the switch to NACS was not about the connector,” said Loren McDonald, CEO of the consultancy EVAdoption. “It was about the better charging experience across the Supercharger network.”

This sounds silly, but to a defroster button. Let me explain:
