For the downvoters: there is precedent in this industry for this behavior. Samsung has been caught doing it, and I have vague recollections of HTC being caught as well although I can’t find a reference at the moment. If you are asking for p

Battery degradation is not linear. They tend to be fine until they fall off a cliff at the 2-3 year mark. You just haven’t gotten there yet.

That really wasn’t clear from ten years ago to now. There has been a lot of disagreement on liquid cable cooling, AC vs. DC, voltages and the total amount of power that will be required, etc. Things seem to finally be settling down now thou

If taxation is theft, why don’t you move to Somalia or start a cartel in a remote region of Mexico and live there? Or perhaps there are benefits you are receiving from living with a functioning government?

I haven’t used windows in a while but I thought it supported some form of cross-volume symlink? Or at least mounting an image stored on another volume to an arbitrary path.

They tried that years ago and built prototypes for their Model S. The problem with swappable batteries is that you end up with reduced range because you can’t design the car with batteries crammed into every nook and cranny available.

Charging “standards” have changed many times in the past 5-10 years. There are indications that NACS might finally be the stable, long-term choice, but that is not 100% obvious or guaranteed even now. That makes it challenging for anybody t

That’s how I ride mine. I’ve recently hit a thousand miles, 50/50mix of paved and trails. I’ve had many crashes in that time but have had nothing but a few bruises and scrapes to show for it. I also ripped my pants once which sucked. I

There is a third party accessory to add front wheels called Fangs. They were initially very popular, but most people ended up getting rid of them because they end up making crashes worse. When the front of the board is down, it desperately
