For the scenarios you describe a 220 outlet will work fine. Still no charger needed. I won’t go into cable locking solutions for the same reason we don’t need to go into gas station muggings. They distract from the key point, which is that

You can still keep your car charged at 80 or 90 percent even if you only drive 35 miles a day in your daily commute. The charge you add each night can be toward the top of the range, instead of always staying at the bottom of the range.

Or an electrical outlet within reach. “Charging station” makes it sound inordinately expensive. An outlet is all they need and is already hard enough that there’s no need to make it sound harder than it is.

This last quote just showcases a few people’s ignorance (at a minimum the author, the editor, and the person being quoted) of the fact that nobody needs a “charging station” at home. All you need is an outlet and a charging cable.

My longest BEV trip in one day was 896 miles (1442 km), with about half a dozen short breaks, driving alone. 396 miles longer than your trip in your ICE car. Not sure what your data point is supposed to be proving.

As long as you're comparing cars and air travel, I'll point out that the aviation industry lies with statistics when they present the numbers. When comparing safety within aviation, they talk about deaths per departure. When compa

It was an EV6 though, not a Tesla. So it had a disadvantage to start with.

EVs are fantastic for long road trips. Unless you buy your EV from a legacy automaker in which case there is no good charging network.

What are some things that are known to be uncorrelated if any?

That does say a lot for sure. Thanks.

On their hiring page they are looking for VoIP experience so maybe maybe a VoIP device.

ok wow if that’s true the credibility just went way up. Interesting.

So many questions. Is this a YC company? Did they apply? Does anyone know anything about them at all? It just screams scam to me. Who would give them $200 for vapor? [Edit: I have been told the device has been demoed in a comment below, so

Look up neitzschian slave morality. But it’s the reverse of what you’re talking about. It’s what drives the baseless critics of Elon. You can see the level of emotion by their use of words like “fanatics” to describe people who dare to so m

Quite the opposite. Training AI models for fun, moving to local instead of cloud services, using ML features on phones… I have an older iPad and really look forward to upgrading for better battery life, faster charging, more power for ML st

The first one, he has the right to fire jerks. So that’s kind of a non-issue. Happens in every company, but when he does it, it makes the news. The second one is just a vague smear; I don’t know where you got that one but it sounds made up.

The troubling thing to me here over and above these issues is if they (Boeing) think some of these things are ok to the point that they ask for an exemption, what else is there that would fail rigorous safety checks but has been deemed ok b

No, for pollution. You spend less than on gas on day one, and your car doesn’t stink to boot. Gas cars stink and cost more. You can get a Model 3 for less than a Corolla now. >less on gas compared to electricity I think you had a typo th

Thanks, good to know they have “cats” too, didn’t know that. Hopefully it helps a lot. For the record, I assume what I’ve heard about motorcycles does not account for that.

From what I can tell Elon is actually a good guy. I think he gets a bad rap because a lot of people believe everything they read and regurgitate it without question. They almost never provide specifics — your comment is a case in point — an

Yeah I see what you're saying, it would suck if they forced you to change over abruptly. And if you have a bigger engine as you say the pollution is probably less of an issue. In any case the pollution picture is getting massively bett

Yes, other than those. And once all (or let's say most) vehicles are self driving and powered by sustainable energy, things will be overwhelmingly better on all those dimensions. Meantime, you could adopt some driving-analog version of

Not all Tesla owners are aware of this option. I don't own a CCS adapter yet, although I'm in the market for one. Not because I need it, but because it's nice to have even more options. I did drive through Eastern (edit: Cent

Now post a link abut how often fires happen in gas vehicles versus EVs. "I read about" is only part of my response, and the rest of my response speaks for itself. One does have to poke beyond what one reads. Poke beyond the dramat
