Agreed. The cables don't have to be _that_ much longer. Although I do think they are going to need a little bit of a redesign of the v4 cabinet. I'm hearing that the holster design isn't working all that well in real world us

Meh, Costco controls fueling based on member status. Lots of company depot fueling stations exist, with various methods of access control. Access control isn't that hard, if the provider wants it.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. A gas station owner is certainly free to onyl service certain brands and control access in any way that they choose. Customers would simply be free to take their business elsewhere. In practice, stat

I know, and it has been a significant advantage for them. Others have been using a similar approach recently too (EA "balanced" chargers, Kempower, newer Chargepoint setups, and quite a few others).

Yes, and I believe Tesla proposed that >5 years ago. The industry chose to make it a free for all instead.

I think some of the models require remote code execution to support things like custom tokenizers.

Cable lengths seem to be the same. They did have to upgrade control boards, though, supposedly at each stall. The few v4 sites that are available do have longer cables.

by _ea1k 3y ago
This is why it is so important for stations to support sharing power between stalls via shared cabinets. Lowering the cost per stall makes it much easier to install additional posts to limit the impact of that problem. IIRC, Tesla is curren

Ultimately that depends on how the contract is structured. It is technically possible for them to remove third party access. Having said that, I think this actually solves some problems for them in the long run. I doubt they'd have any

Yeah, it is a subset of the v3/v4 chargers. It isn't clear how they selected them either. Some very busy sites have been added, but other v3 sites that aren't as busy were left off. Some have speculated that it relates to the

I'm surprised that things like this don't happen more often. It seems like uploading malicious binaries to npm or other registries would be fairly easy. Then again, convincing people to play around with a model might be easier tha

They could hire Magna to build it for them! Then again, that isn't necessarily working out perfectly well for Fisker.

The accelerator likely would have been a better example. I'm not sure that any car currently shipping has a direct connection between the accelerator and a throttle.

The problem is that the companies that can do that are rarely also the company's that are willing to do the hard work of productionizing those moonshots. Lots of people have nice salaries and jobs that depend on pumping out ideas and P

I do find most are very similar. The service type is a bit different, but IMO Peacock is the worst. None of the others are as consistently slow for me.

I find it interesting how accurately this sums up the press. It is a facade of informing, but ultimately just entertainment. I wouldn't have expected it to have been viewed that way back in 1920.

Ok, imagine the cost is driven by underutilized fixed costs. How does the supply curve model the decrease in cost as demand increases?

I see the price change list, but is there a full history for all products? That would be really interesting to see.

by _ea1k 3y ago
TBH, people routinely overlook the other two factors, supply and underlying cost. Sometimes increases in demand can both increase supply and decrease cost.

How is that even possible? Was it located somewhere that limited their ability to bring in water? I just can't imagine a small scooter being that difficult to contain. Usually reignition is the big risk here rather than containment.

That doesn't really make sense for motorcycles, tbh. It barely makes sense for the cars, but they at least have significantly larger batteries.

Yeah, and the 7kwh should cost ~$1k. So if the manufacturer wants to maximize the number of $7,500 rebates, PHEV is the way to go. 11 PHEVs == one 300 mile compact crossover. They don't even have to be good PHEVs. I agree that there sh
