I agree these situations can be dangerous and frustrating. There is a manual trunk release on the tesla, here's a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1bJ0F3R0Nc . I have a rivian and the 12v battery died on it while

Some AAA services carry a portable charger to recharge your ev, with the goal to give it a small charge so it can go to a nearby charging station for a full charge. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/12/05/aaa-exp

swapping been done and shipped on production vehicles that are still around. The original tesla model s had this capability. Tesla had a working station in california, it took a couple of minutes to do the swap. It had basically no demand.

I don't know how many typical hourly workers are going to be able to be reasonably trained for it, but there are some. The vast demand for it and tech workers should pull them in. But it doesn't, cost is one reason, but a bigger r

It was so slow to run an x86 ubuntu os on an apple arm that it was unusuable. I switched to running an arm ubuntu on apple arm, that was fast.

I think your vision of free speech in the past is off, compared to my born in the 60s memory. There didn't used to be racist hate speech on the news or widely disseminated widely like there is today on reddit in certain groups. If ther

I have that problem too on my comcast home internet, looping captca for archive.is. I figured it was dns lookup. Is cloudflare blocking it somehow? And I also noticed using my phone internet works for archive.is. I want to figure out how to

That's great that you have a great setup. There's a bit of an issue in practice, where only a tiny bit of people have a good setup, so sound isn't great for 99.99% of people.

G fi used to charge you for data use, I thought if you used a few gig a month then it was more than tmobile, are you using much data?

do you think the wavelengths used by phones are going to work through space and the atmosphere, are they focused on short length transmissions (higher freqs). The answer appears to be yes ;-)

Sorry but you are pretty much missing the entire point, maybe you aren't in the us but this doesn't work like you expect. Nasa has really limited budget options. Congress points them toward specific things like Artemis and funds t

I know china was desperately poor in the past, I've heard of people starving. My western media sources also predicted china was ascendant in the world every year for the past 10 years. Like the nyt or the economist. Now they are lookin

That's true they they are both vehicles that move you, but a bike vs a car are in very different classes, unless your car only goes 30 mph in normal use, like in a congested city.

That's a great point, battery electric cars are heavier than gas cars and so hard to stop them. I can agree with that and I'm an EV proponent. Another thing that makes electric cars potentially more dangerous. They have way more i

The idea with an electric car is you just plug it in every night automatically in your garage – if you're lucky enough to live in a house - every morning it's ready to go. You never have to think about it. Trip driving is differen

The way you used to have to sign up for these tesla monitoring things is you give them your car account (Tesla acct) name and password and then they can hit the Tesla API back end, you have to opt into this monitoring. I'm not willing

Mine is 318wh/mi over my last 5,700 miles, mostly on the freeway. Is there a lifetime number displayed, I see only trip a/b numbers. Getting 50 or 60% of the expected mileage seems impossible. Maybe driving 80 mph constantly speed

It's not going as fast as the tesla. iirc the wind resistance goes up as the square of the speed (I need to find a ref for this, I read it all the time, I guess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation ). Anyway

Reducing weight is always useful alin improving efficiency and electric cars are really heavy compared to gas cars. But that's not going to make that much difference in range per batter efficiency. They should focus on the efficiency o

They did not of course. China looks to be playing the long game to me. But China's economic issues are the most severe since they began their incredible time of growth and productivity increases. Best in the world ever as far as I know

The thing that makes it much more likely than could is it is the official goal of the communist party to unify with Taiwan, and they say they will do it by force if necessary. That makes it a matter of time, waiting for some weakness in Tai

The US didn't have anything to do with evergrande afaik, and paying for property before it's built is a bad idea. But China can still try to deal with this by blaming the US for all ills and pushing for war with Taiwan to distract
