Not at all, it was demonstrated as taking 5 minutes on a production Model S. They also built one swap station. Some say it was all done for show and they never had any intention of following through. From the interviews with Musk at the tim

And yet Wal-Mart still sells homeopathic remedies and tons of other low-quality products.

Because comparisons without baselines are silly. Boeing's 737 Max is compared to the industry average, which is amazingly good. Tesla is compared to the industry average that is so bad that it kills a 737 load of passengers every hour.

I just wish they'd offer a decent battery warranty. The current battery warranties are very weak, especially on the Tesla.

If this is the most privileged comment that you've read on the internet, I don't think you've read much. I'm not even sure that the OP was complaining about it.

I think his point is that he hasn't needed a satisfactory coffee setup at home before and thus hasn't done it. If WFH is temporary, then the issues he's facing make sense. I always work from home and I can see where his issue

One of the primary arguments that I hear for them is how much safer they are than Lithium Ion batteries. Being able to explode (even if this is actually unlikely) greatly weakens that purported advantage. (I do not believe this will actuall

Mid-air refueling a helicopter does not require another helicopter. It could be a KC-130.

I can think of a couple of reasons. 1. Many people do not care about the deficit to a great degree on either side of the political aisle. This despite a lot of rhetoric by one party or another. 2. The party in power seems to always find a w

Maybe, but it seems to me that increased production and lower oil prices are likely to create as many winners as losers.

So, $48 USD/year for 2TB? That's a little less than idrive, as they charge ~70/year for 2TB.

From what I have heard recently, they may not end up doing the solar roof there. It sounds like the hardware for that is coming from China instead. OTOH, they are getting new production lines for superchargers and other things. You are defi

The best time to buy an S&P 500 index fund was March 4, 1957. The second best time is tomorrow (markets are closed today, so you can't do it today).

Its irritating how far we've gone away from standards. At least in the past there were efforts to push open solutions, but those seem to be steadily fading away.

Yeah, Fedora doesn't have a Pi 4 build yet. The funny thing about that is that Centos does have one.

Exactly... also see this report: https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1232797151941611520 The situation is horrible, but look at the hospital workers rate of infection vs mortality. Even horrible things can still be

The most bizarre thing to me is that people are taking the numbers with a grain of salt and assuming this means the real numbers are worse. Deaths are terrible, but they are also really easy to count. Hospitalizations are terrible, but they

Its very possible that I was incorrect. I now realize that my statement was based on something someone told me, and I can't find original sources. I do continue to believe that the real cases are much higher than the reported cases, th

We are seeing a lot of cases that are only being discovered after the patient has had symptoms for some period of time. It seems like a number of these cases have been mild enough that a lot of people would not have even sought care. The id

To me, his last paragraph was the most important part. We've seen that the case rate increases dramatically as more tests are administered. This is implying a very strong selection bias in the past testing towards the most severe cases

If the increased attention were only about the FSD feature, I would agree with you. However, it is often the case for other things about the company as well. I definitely think Tesla works hard to keep things this way, and my comment was mo

For the same reason as they do in other cars. But "Tesla" gets a lot more press because of their marketing.
