Their implementation of the paddle shifter was not the shiftable kind [1]. It was a lever you had to continually press to hold regen. Imagine your hand cramping up trying to keep it engaged. To this day GM has this odd implementation. [1]

Hyundai, Kia, and Audi EVs have paddle shifters which controls the level of regeneration braking and feels very much like downshifting. One paddle (+) steps up the regen to the point where the “drag” gets progressively stronger. The other p

The handwriting is on the wall. Ford just had a great quarter with their EV lineup. The F-150 Lightning is sold out in participating dealerships. On average, the Lightning turned inventory in just eight days, the fastest ever for Ford. This

Light brightness and spectrum are associated with retinal damage. Blue light from LED overexposure can certainly do harm and can also affect your sleep cycle and hormone balance. I would not bake my eyes with these things anytime soon.

Tesla’s electric motor evolution is an interesting journey that has taken them at this point to the permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motor (PMSRM). Their history is very interesting. The early Model S was RWD using an induction motor

I wonder how many lines of code it takes to run Craigslist. They probably haven’t refactored much since the 90’s. The profit margin is so high who cares about putting in new code to data science spam and scam.
