Toxic ICE worship/delusion.

17 years is alot of time to sort it out

Isn’t California’s grid shared with many western states? I’m sure those others states will be very happy to know their outage is caused by California’s heavy use.

I mean, it’s 17 years away. Look back to 2006 and see how much technological improvements we make. Back in 2006, would you think you could get a 680hp, 2L Mercedes that also gets like 30mpg? What about an electric F150 that can go 400 miles and is also faster than any other F150 has ever made? I mean, I’d be right…

I was thinking the same thing. They worked long hours for years on this and their product is literally garbage, now. That must be a massive letdown.

Don’t be sad: it just means you’re not a soulless husk, and you’re still capable of empathy.

“Vice President of the California Trucking Association Chris Shimoda says there’s no infrastructure to support electric medium and heavy-duty trucks.”

I really wish we could get these announcements with the supporting data that CARB is using. They aren’t throwing a dart at the wall and saying “guess it’ll be 2027". They are looking at data that says “there are X number of trucks being used in the state and local governments and based on the service life and these…

Looks like the Camaro now.

Oh man, you’ve hit on the interior design and ergonomics hill that I’m willing to die on. I find TVs mounted high on the wall or above the fireplace to be an uncomfortable and annoying viewing experience. The middle of your TV screen should be at eye level from where you’re sitting, or maybe *slightly* above. Unless…

Reddit is 100% right on putting your TV at eye-level, and any installer will tell you so. This is the exact advice that experts give with the placement of a computer monitor, so that you don’t hurt your neck. A TV above the fireplace is certainly too high... unless you do all your TV watching while standing.

This is not a matter of belief or aesthetics, the greater the angle you are viewing the tv from, the more color distortion you get, especially vertically. 

Based on my engineering experience, I think there is a 98% chance it went something like this:

Im sure the manufacturer tested different materials intensively to find the best and most cost effective material to use for that application.

I am continuously impressed by the mental gymnastics that Tesla fans will do in order to justify the bad quality control on their vehicles. 

I believe it, and I’m sure half of that comes from Los Angeles. But my comment still stands. Nobody wants to enact real change, just band-aid solutions. If they were to give me an equal valued EV in exchange for my daily, I would go for it buuuut it was 16K brand new and I don’t have a convenient place to charge it.

Ofc people are against of more generators using fossil fuels. It doesn’t take a genius to see why. And a random fire being caused by tree branches because someone was blocking something is literally a non argument. Also how do you know its the same people advocating for all of these things simultaneously? Id give you…

Because california is their chosen eternal enemy and everything is proof its horrible 

Mass exodus of...checks notes 0.3% in one year after a 5.8% increase over the previous decade.

OK.
