There are currently ~970 stations in the US. They should top 1k sometime around April, if not a little before.

I worry about this with the trend of using more laminated glass that is really difficult to break. But this Model S is very unlikely to have had that, and it sounds like there was a policeman on the scene. Surely the officer would have acce

In my area, most of their installations are 4 stall. IMO, this is a mistake, as they have already had multiple holidays in which entire sites were taken offline. I suspect that over time they will move to 8+ stall installations as it greatl

Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about that comparison. Most vets double up as pharmacies, restrict access to prescriptions, and sell at least some prescription drugs at prices that have been marked up by at least an order of magnitude by

Yeah, the recent cannonball run in a Taycan (Search Out of Spec Motoring if you want to see the details) had some similar issues. In particular, the Mach-E seems to be struggling with low charge rates. However, that review is a press vehicl

That is largely a function of state rules that make it hard to charge $/KWh without falling under a different (and often onerous) set of regulations. It doesn't have to be super expensive this way, though. Both Tesla and Electrify

There are standards, but like all standards there are multiple to choose from and at least one major non-standard. In the US, the big ones are Tesla, CCS, and CHAdeMO, in roughly that order of popularity. Its a bit like Diesel vs E85 vs pre

The stations are unstaffed and card reader issues are common.

by jsight 6y ago
I think they are optional in general, but often more reliable. These locations are unstaffed and often directly exposed to the elements. The cardreaders don't seem to hold up well.

To be fair, now (8 years after the first superchargers), Electrify America supports plug and charge. Because of this, the experience with the Mach-E is really close to that of supercharging. There's still a gap, but its much smaller no

Carlsbad caverns is ~100 miles from the nearest supercharger. It wouldn't be a comfortable round trip even with a Y Long Range. With a standard range vehicle, it is not doable.

I'm going to guess it does and is graded against his own personal experience with other vehicles.

Sure, but the text editor does have undo.

Yes, there are a lot of people with that confusion. Now I wish that headlines didn't perpetuate the confusion.

I don't understand why its inevitable that big energy will dominate. There's nothing particularly global about our electricity supply that requires it to be as dominated by oligopoly the way that Gasoline and Crude Oil could be. I

No, the closest that I'm aware of is the cafe at Kettleman City.

IMO, the concern isn't so much dismantling it as mismanaging it. Some of these charge networks are moving to REALLY unattractive pricing models.

Its hard to say for sure, IMO. Greenlots seems to have lost some locations in my state since the Shell acquisition.

Unfortunately that is a fairly common cause of fuel exhaustion incidents.

Kind of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_%22-gate%22_scandals It isn't comprehensive, though.

Look at how many chargers are nearby and how far you'd have to drive in a typical rolling black-out to charge. I bet it isn't that much worse than how far you'd have to drive a gas car to refuel, as those stations tend not to

If having a lot of cars with sensors collecting data doesn't help, why did Waymo build so many?

by jsight 6y ago
How well does that handle poorly marked sections of road? I have a similar system on a non-Tesla and that was one of its main weaknesses relative to AP.
384.
by jsight 6y ago
This argument without data is just as useless as Tesla's pro-AP argument without data.

Keep in mind that at least one of those other self-driving car groups has demoed camera only on the streets of Jerusalem: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tech-ces-intel/intels-mob... They also have lidar soluti

Ha, I remember thinking that at Tesla's (very weak, IMO) autonomy day. It seemed like their supposed business model was basically made up on the spot and didn't really make good business sense.

by jsight 6y ago
I'm pretty sure mobileye has demonstrated their FSD solution without lidar as well. It seems like they are treating lidar as optional. They have many more cameras than Tesla to support the camera only approach, though.

That will depend heavily on what state you are in. Dining in is fully open in some states with only masks on entry/exit. Mask usage in some areas is vastly different than others. Its likely that a some places will heavily ease restrict

Decisions like this are never fully data driven, as those "specific thresholds" will be different for different people.

AFAIK, the Pi 4 also supports this mode and would offer gigabit performance. Still not terrific, but maybe enough to be usable.
