No, there isn’t. So you know the laws for this has been set at any autonomy below level 3 = fault. This has also been proven in courts.

What phone do you have? For example, Android has multiple user profiles. So you should be able to connect 1 car to one profile and another car to another profile.

So they were using the unlock feature of the app and not the bluetooth pairing to unlock?

Yes, just what you need to help deal with those multi-days traffic jams in China, everyone driving 20 cars instead of 1! Brilliant!

They did, but do remember that there is such a thing as growing dependence over time. And when that dependence is severed, the impact is much greater than most realize.

This is a no brainer, the economy. Cause even if humans go extinct, the planet will still exist.

They can’t. But the ones who can repair Tesla cars due to lack of 3rd part oem parts are:

The difference most likely stems from the fact that they can put pressure on 3rd party bodyshops to dictate rates. Many 3rd party bodyshops have been gauging people since there were limited options for people as Tesla builds up its network. And while other insurance companies don’t know prices and just end up paying…

Do you even know what a ponzi scheme is? I don’t think you do.

The thing is, 3rd party body shops have been known to gauge people much more than they do other customers precisely because there are limited choices (for now). Since Tesla has a contract and sells parts to these 3rd party bodyshops, they can most definitely dictate to them what they charge.

Not sure what you are talking about, but there is enough offpeak capacity in the grid to power virtually every car being an EV just an fyi.

There is more that can be done for school buses than just making them electric. I would read about the Vehicle 2 Grid school bus pilot programs:

“all of this seems like a much bigger ass-pain than putting a damn key into a hole and twisting.”

I’m gonna have to disagree on some aspects there...

True that the improvements are going to be marginal, that said, marginal still over time can end up quite significant. I still see us getting to 30% averages in the next 10-20 years.

Okay, let me post some charts!

It’s not a bad analogy at all. It is a correct one which shows how short sighted decisions aren’t actually that great of a decision in the long run.

Advancement can’t continue forever but there is plenty of room for improvement.

I wouldn’t say that. SunPower has 22.8% efficient panels, LG and REC solar has 21.7%. There is still room for improvement in efficiency.

It doesn’t matter if there is overcast, you can get a severe sunburn during a cloudy day. What matters is which spectrum of light is going through which can penetrate some clouds better than others. If you get a lot of coverage, it might make sense to get a microinverted instead of a string inverter.
