I used Turo to test a bunch of EVs a while back - I just priced in the Turo added insurance since mine didn't cover Turo (apparently Progressive does). We had a bunch of tough requirements so the deep investigation panned out nicely -

The newest Kia (Hyundai's sister brand) EV6 can also do massive V2L - can support 12kW power - combine that with a transfer switch, and your car doubles as your backup battery/generator.

If your EV battery isn't pre-conditioned for cold driving, it can and will get down to low double digits. That said, it's only an issue in winter and colder climes.

We're a 2 EV family and have had no problems whatsoever. We do have a 3rd gas vehicle (older minivan) but that's mostly because when we bought the 2nd EV there were no reasonably priced 3-row vehicles (No, the Model X and Model Y

No, many other brands are showing massive increases in EV sales. It's only Tesla, and there are numerous reasons for that.

I also had a reservation for one - at the $40K price. The product as released is specced lower, costs more than double, and has no shortage of major design flaws resulting in bricked vehicles. I obviously cancelled my order. I'm just

This video is incredible in describing why the British Empire did what it did in the Middle East and the resulting decades-long disaster [1]. Note this is a small portion of a longer 2h video you can find. Absolutely fascinating historical

A while back my 240v plug burnt out so while I waited for my electrician to fix it, we were forced to use 110v (we have 2 EVs) and it was manageable (I have a long commute but hybrid in-office).

EA is struggling with charger outages but they're improving. The real story is the L2 players providing a lot more L3 sites (EVgo, ChargePoint).

Absolute minimum would be working with Tesla to ensure your vehicles are permitted to charge at SuperChargers but require your customers to buy an adapter ($200) so free adapter is definitely a step up in my book. I'm not sure what ins

This sounds really interesting - they've decided to make their new stores a place to visit not just to shop but as a place to learn (clearly leading to more shopping). Stores used to rely on other mall properties to do the 2nd part but

The country where Unitree is based has not been in a major war in the past 30-40 years. Sure companies based in the western world can take inspiration from this but given the US-China conflict apparently in the works, it seems the advance

So that's what I remember hearing this years ago: those silky looking teabags diffuse microplastics. Easy to avoid those.

This sounds incredibly risky - given other employees may be nearby and the stores already have fixed cameras everywhere. After the first year or two of such incidents spiking it'll go down quickly. note: I really don't like the id

Now you're sounding all pie in the sky. The cold hard reality is that hedge funds and billionaires control most power utilities and lobby governments to keep the cash flowing. We know for certain that pricing is going to get really ba

Your examples didn't fail due to quality - they failed due to horrible management practices and worshipping at the altar of the MBA philosophy.

I think there should be clarity on the differences between public and private schools. On one hand, funding for public schools precludes some activities and may result in a lower quality of education due to selection bias. On the other han

I guess the EC doesn't have to worry about the MEPs being able to do much of anything since they don't have much of a say. Meanwhile, the actual people affected (drivers/pedestrians) don't exactly have much of a say in t

I mean, you have a lot of choice and the Tesla quality isn't exactly known to be as high as the BMW (Also Tesla real-life range != stated range).

Makes complete sense - some higher-up is betting on LLMs to make a big change to the org. If they're right, then leadership looks amazing (we got in early on a transformative new technology/tool that has resulted in major product

These aren't silly temps. Another guideline I've seen is to heat to 2/3 the max of your range. Tends to work on all the ranges I've used. Lower temperatures I typically use for reheating or for sauces.

You can turn any stainless steel pot/pan into a nonstick via the Leidenfrost effect[1]. Only takes a 1-2m extra, and is quite satisfying to watch as well. We have a few carbon steel dishes for intense nonstick cooking but the kids lov
