Maybe the biggest benefit of this would be that the increase in scale would spur the development of cheaper chargers.

Current state of EVs is such that it’s a good option for a 2 car household that has dedicated parking (garage or car port), where one car can be an EV and the other a conventional ICE.

Telephone lines were in use a very long time, and are still not entirely obsolete.

The obsolescence is a good argument against, if it's technically correct. 

The cost of housing is mostly in the space they are occupying not the construction itself. Even compared to just the construction cost itself, the added cost of a charging station is pretty small. Your argument isn't wrong, it's just a very small magnitude, so unlikely to have a noticeable effect. 

I suspect that we'll see many non vehicle devices start taking advantage of those unused power points. 

More info is required.

Take one fully autonomous over sized pickup truck (when available). Put one of those in the back (when available). Bam, sort of practical flying car.

It’s not even a case of regulation not being needed, it’s more of a case of technology being so early in its infancy that it’s not the least bit clear how to regulate it.

Except they are not quoting him. As far as this article goes, there is a no indication he ever said that. 

I get that sometimes, one has to do the wrong thing in order to do the right thing. Trouble is, doing the wrong thing looks an awful lot like doing the wrong thing. And that “I did the wrong thing for some unspecified right reasons” is the go to defense of people doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons (its up…

But then you have to pay someone to solder some cells, not solder others, and keep up with which is which. You also have to communicate this on an individual basis the the QC department which has to know which not soldered cells to accept, which to reject, and which soldered cells to reject and which to accept, on…

I, for one, am getting really tired of the Must/Trump comparisons. The bad thing about Trump isn’t that he is saying stupid stuff on Twitter, it’s that he locks up kids in cages, starts trade wars, effs up enviro regulations.

Why would they put bad cells (that they know are bad and thus don’t solder them) into their batteries? Surely there are easier ways of disposing of defects.

The part I’m rather interested in is just where did he send the roughly 8gb of data he stole (not to mention what was in there to begin with).

Looking at the side view, is she pregnant? Because that takes this to an even weirder level, and that is quiet an accomplishment.

That, or that top level people rarely get fired. If they aren’t working out, they are typically allowed to quit.

Tesla has trouble meeting production goals. Tesla shuffles its workforce, removing 10% of its lower level employees and some top level people. Tesla is now meeting its goals.

I suspect that making the cargo bay unpressurized makes the plane lighter, as it doesn’t have to double as a pressure vessel.

In order to make them look properly old and nastalgic they should have steampunkish, victorian features everywhere. No plastic, exposed commutators and coils, lots of abnormally large clicking relays, maybe and arc lamp headlight.
