but the non-tesla electric cars also had more severe (though fewer) claims. Part of that is probably that an electric car is just plain more expensive than it's ICE counterpart right now, and my experience is that repair cost of a v

My issue was not with if the access points made sense or not... my issue was with the idea that a few grand, one time, was a lot of money to keep a wifi hotspot that wasn't on an existing network running for very long. It wouldn't

Food delivery is dramatically more time sensitive than parcel delivery; after 10 minutes, the food quality begins to decline sharply, so even if I am okay waiting an hour or two for my food to arrive, "pooling" food is almost
