Not sure why you are being downvoted; this is a common concern post Covid with early retirements and companies no longer investing in training. I don't know if it is true, and I hope someone can address the substance of the argument.

Sadly no heat pump on a 2019 M3; no way to retrofit it either. A companies offers battery insulation solutions —but I don't know if I trust a solution that alters the heat transmission properties of a battery. (The previous owner of m

I was not planning on driving it in winter; sadly my main drive got into an accident and I had to pull it out of storage. However, even at worst, I might use 60% of the battery in a day. I can easily charge 20-30 overnight so I generally

My 2019 Model 3 is using more than twice its normal energy use in the Calgary cold; 293 wh/km vs 143 wh/km normally. Thankfully, charging on a 120v output is fine but I only drive 30-40 km per day at a maximum. It is not the same

I don't know if this is something that is prevented by our current system. This is more or less what GM was doing before the 2008 bankruptcy (The vague story I remember from the time was that they knew they had to get rid of money los

The only signal that was surfaced on many sites was cost, it's not surprising that it is the only thing flyers look at.

Musk Derangement Syndrome on the first comment about a different car company making a very interesting product. I also saw this in comments in articles about Boeing and Toyota this week. Is there a browser mod to hide comments like this?

I still have my iPhone 4S keyboard that I used stubbornly for months (along with the 4s itself). Every now and then I charge it and connect it to my PC via bluetooth, but even in landscape mode it was just too small for my sausage fingers.

Yes — in that case you can bail out mom and dad personally. If the 0.1% owns a disproportional amount of wealth any financial bailout will disproportionately help them.

My experience with cars from that generation of cars and modern cars is not at all similar to yours. My 2003 Mustang V6 manual was a complete moneypit. The electrical system went in the first year, despite me taking it regularly for mainte

I took a series of screenshots but they all seem fine to me? Wikipedia, Goodreads, Fandom.com and MacMillan Publishing; these all seem to be reasonable results. I could share the whole page if I could find a place to upload my screenshots

> This planet cannot support many GBs for every human Interesting perspective, do you have evidence to support this? Older computers almost always use more electricity than newer ones, I don't see how this is a real thing.

Does significant damage, second most selling vehicle? Weird. I've never considered Musk in the context of my car, much like my parents didn't consider the Toyota family when buying their car. If we want to play the purity spiral

Yes it did. There was literally no one at the level of Google when it came out. I still remember Infoseek and Yahoo, both were garbage compared to Goog. I know they aren't doing their best right now, but there is no need to rewrite hi

If other people feel similarly, but are afraid to comment publicly, it can inspire discussion in future threads and create psychological comfort for them to join in the future.

Unfortunately they don't sell supercharger components at home (and I won't be installing a battery to get that 150kw capacity at home). On a side note, I don't want to necessarily fast charge the car; I just want to use the e

On a tangent, I've been spending the past month looking to see any form of charging I can do from a solar panel to the car without conversion losses and coming up blank. The battery is DC, the panel is DC; but you can't do direct

Some of us remember when people similarly said that about GM. Regardless, we'll see what happens in 5 years. The best outcome is that they are truthful about this development.
