That's true, but it was heavily hand assembled with a pretty terrible design that doesn't seem like it could have been sustainable. They only built about 2,500 units over 4 years and cancelled it when they finally got their first

IMO, you really aren't wrong about it being a bad business. There's a reason that so few have been successful. I can count on one finger the number of American companies that have been founded and made it past 100k units in my lif

I'm not sure if there is a ton of overlap. The R1T is much more expensive and has a much shorter cargo box. The F150 Lightning is much more like a traditional truck and is targeted more directly at commercial customers. If the R1T and

Yeah, that was a lot of the criticism of Tesla as well, as they raised a lot of money before getting into volume production. Its to be expected, though, as the car business requires a lot of capital.

I don't see how that could be true. The Wal-Marts here offer free vaccines for anyone. We seem to be past the point where availability should be a significant hindrance.

With enough demand to produce 100k units per year, that would amortize well too. But light aircraft are a hard thing to sell for really practical reasons. They have a lot of real world limitations for small overall improvements in performan

He should not have used the word all, but this feels like a really pedantic point to me. The main thing is that there is no consensus that it didn't get created that way.

I've heard that Fred Lambert (the author) is not a native English speaker. I think this might be the cause.

That is absolutely true, but an individual store is unlikely to care.

Haha, I read it and wondered why they put a computer in a desk. Buy a desk, get a free computer! What?!

Oh... now I understand what you were getting at. That's definitely true. :)

I'm not sure that there were actually new details here? The ability to join the two packs in series for a higher voltage was well known for a while now. It will be interesting to see how they manage the claim of safe charging to 100%.

I think the non-servicability aspect is made out to be more critical than it is for MOST purposes. There were third party fixes for the storage issue, for example. And in general Tesla has one of the better online parts catalogs, and you ca

I'm not sure what you mean. If you plug a Taycan into a 120V outlet, the onboard charger has to get from 120V to 800V. If you DCFC, it depends on the charger. I think EA will typically do 800V, but some have to go through an onboard DC

I was thinking that these changes weren't described in specific enough detail too. I mean, these could also be used to guess age in general, if I'm reading it right.

I wish they'd build a version for the Raspberry Pi. It makes a great router.

IMO, this is why it is important to make billing more common. It doesn't make sense to keep them from the condo users if they could generate revenue from them. I feel like the risk of freeloaders keeps hotels from installing more of th

Yeah, and judging by the prices on ebay, the "market rate" for some batteries is pretty high. It might not stay that way when the higher volume electric cars start to age out.

I know what you mean there. Destination charging is currently the biggest weakness in the EV world, IMO. I'd love for every hotel and tourist destination to have L2 charging.

You aren't wrong, but it still leaves Hydrogen in a weird place in the market. With gasoline, you have to go weekly for your regularly commute. It can be annoying, but the upside is that you only have to stop for 5 minutes on a long tr

You are correct, of course, but the context of this thread is applying to a job without meeting the minimum "requirements". Arguably the lie is the "requirements". But what is a candidate to do? Skip the job, because the

The package manager provided distributions tend to have different dependencies than the tarballs from Oracle.

That's actually not true. They'd work even if I removed the main one. Its how I did it before the distribution packaged OpenJDK, which really wasn't that long ago.

I feel like it is becoming more common here in the southeast as well. I don't particularly like it, tbh, though it does have some advantages. It seems to block noise pretty well.

I generally do install JDKs as root from the system's package manager. This is primarily due to the system integration that it provides. However, I often keep a collection of older versions and different patch levels in my home directo
