They tried that. I don't know the details, but Tesla did build a few battery swap centers. They ended up not going that route. I don't know the exact reasons why it didn't work out. My guess is the batteries are too heavy to

What's dangerous about a person focusing on a single issue? I focus my attention on single issues all the time. That's how I get things done and collect a salary. It's not possible for someone to hold all the myriad problems

The problem with analogies is when you choose poorly, it can ruin an otherwise perfectly good argument.

If you can get someone to agree on the record that they felt unsafe, you then have cover to take almost any action on behalf of their safety.

Sortition would actually be an improvement even if there was no manipulator. Right now local government seems to be a selection by most-recognizable-name. In Florida a Joe Smith will always get the nod over a Prayut Chan-o-cha if there&#x27

I live in a fairly large Florida city. There is no investigative reporting and zero coverage of local politics anymore. The local news covers sports, entertainment, weather, syndicated national stories and that's it. In other words, on

Even if they performed as advertised, it's not the only problem from this pattern. The bigger issue is how in our society giving away money somehow magically washes away all the harm done. Here's the pattern: "First, do some

It depends on where these chargers are located. Areas where people own cars and park those cars on the street, that's where they're needed. They aren't needed in suburbs where people can plug them into their own homes. They&#

Again, you're missing the point. On purpose, I think. Everyone doesn't live the same way. That is true. That's not the point. The point is that all gasoline-powered cars must refuel at a public pump. Some EVs will charge at h

Exactly. Thank you for making my point. Everyone driving an ICE vehicle must refuel at a public pump. Not everyone driving an EV needs to refuel at a public charging port. Therefore, fewer public charging ports are needed than gasoline pump

It's not an absolute statement. It's a statement in support of the statement that not as many charging ports are needed as gasoline pumps. Another way to say it: 0% of ICE vehicles can be refueled at home. The percentage of EVs th

I'm not a multimillionaire and I live in a house. I also have been to Europe and I see people there also have houses with driveways. So, what's the problem? I didn't say public charging ports weren't needed. I said not a

People don't understand yet why you don't need as many public charging points as gas stations. People who buy EVs charge at home. Public charging ports are only used by people who don't live there. Edit: Yes people who don&#x

Is there any technical reason for limiting the charge rate unless you pay more? I see this is becoming common now. Even Tesla does it. I'd be willing to settle for the smaller battery as long as charging it was at the same higher rate.

Wow. Are you really equating expertise with religious fervor? The anti-expertise movement is what I would describe as religious fervor, not the other way round.
