I find it hard to believe that the COGS for Rivian’s electric vans are actually $200k.  COGS is the actual per-unit cost, without any additional amortization of the startup costs like machinery, workforce development, and so on.  The only way it would cost $200k is if they were still doing things like machining parts…

The airport was perfectly situated to allow plane loads of soldiers easy access to its capable of delivering troops to the region and so was vital for the Russians to take over the airport. Russia did eventually captured the airport...

What do you do when SCOTUS says they’ve been improperly seized and the Russian oligarchs are due their stuff back in pristine order, or money in lieu thereof? And if you think that would never happen, then you haven’t checked the makeup or ideology of the current bench lately. At least if we’re keeping them in order…

This should have been the headline: Airlines non-stop efforts to shove more people onto planes now have them scrambling to keep weight limits in check.

Here’s an idea, make the seats wider, have fewer seats on the plane, charge enough for the wider seats so that the potential revenue of the plane in the same. Everyone’s happy.

...it doesn’t sound like a V8, but who cares?

You’re forgetting that the 200 Amps coming into the home is three phase power. It’s 200 amps of 240V coming in.

No one in this story seems particularly likable...

You don’t need the internet. You can open and start the car using bluetooth to your phone (doesn’t require cell service on either device), using the key card, or the key fob. There are three different options to drive the car, all of which don’t require internet. I think the problem is the user here. 

It doesn’t. Remote unlock over the internet is a fallback entry method, not the primary. The problem is he broke his key fob... apparently somehow this is Tesla’s fault?

And you apparently don’t understand math, or are too interested in attention-seeking knee-jerk hot-takes to care. Ten fatalities in a year is in the noise margin compared to fatalities caused by human error. It could almost be taken as evidence that we should immediately put autopilot in all cars. BTW, being an angry…

1st gear: Wow, ten whole fatalities, eh? And, um, how many humans caused auto fatalities this year - hell, just today? I’m no Tesla fanboy, but this particular issue is blown out of proportion. Teslas may have roofs and bumpers that come off in the rain, and I’m not buying a car with a friggin’ yoke instead of a…

Luxury cars often use higher-quality interior materials and have features that aren’t available on lower-priced models — engines, transmissions, sound systems, telematics, safety features — and are packed with more amenities. They also may have more sound insulation, high-quality body parts and aluminum or carbon…

I’ve been told that only Tesla does this!  This isn’t possible with the dealer model!

Jesus, some more details please? Did she blow off the employee and just drive off? Did the employee let her go? After getting arrested once did they not tell her she needed to come to court again? Could you do the bare minimum to get us more context?

Wait, it wasn’t a Tesla? Why are you even reporting on this?

I’ve been overpayed three seperate times in my working life. I have informed my employer immediately about the overpayment every time and been asked once to re-pay it. The other two times my boss just asked me why I keep telling them that they paid me too much. Unfortunately for myself, my integrity is just worth too…

This does not seem like a big deal. I guess some of it depends on how long it took for Honda to inform the workers.

Problem solved:

In related news Germany is reactivating coal fired power plants to free up natural gas for heating. This “green revolution” looked good in PowerPoint but is struggling in the real world. Also my rural electrical co-op in Oregon currently beating the drums to preserve the Snake River dams since that’s a significant…
