The ability to quickly manage branches and reorder commits within them in Mercurial is super powerful, something that Git and `rebase -i` could only dream of. Doing the same in Phabricator is awesome. One blocking commit PR on the bottom of

The screw up will be scale. Securing enough batteries and producing them in volume is not something they have (publicly) announced. Making 50k a year would barely dent their annual truck sales of 1mil.

This will change with improved batteries, charging infrastructure, and shrinking EV tech. By the time this could hit the market, hopefully the weight difference would be less stark.

A grid (even if local) is far more efficient. Moving things takes a lot of energy. It would be more efficient to just put those batteries in the grid, since everyone will be generating surplus at the same time, and it would never be unuti

The difference is scalability. Tesla can manufacture full equipped vehicles faster and for much cheaper. There are also already 1.5mil vehicles that could be turned on. They do not rely on HD maps. Even if they arrive 1-2 years later than W

The easiest approach is to remove the billions (nearing trillions) in annual fossil fuel subsidies. People fight against subsidies to clean energy, forgetting how much more flows into an industry that is killing us.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. During the communist revolution (in the 40s), the previous government was overthrown and escaped to Taiwan. That was when Mao and Communism took over. It is an interesting perspective Edited for accurac

Lots of places (theaters, grocery stores) have destination chargers (some are even free). If you go to those once or twice a week, top up there. If you don't drive much, a weekly supercharger visit is fine. Keep in mind that charging i

That is the fastest they can go, while EV vehicle demand growth exceeds that CAGR. When the 3 industry titans can only together drive ~15-20% annual growth, it is most definitely a struggle.

A Prius will not last as long as an EV. Their lifecycle emissions are worse than an EV, even on a coal powered grid (which can only improve and isn't even that prevalent). Batteries can go on to have second lives replacing peaker plant
