Also likely hitting above their weight as people who drive more have a much larger incentive to switch to EVs. Not just fuel costs, but time spent going to the gas station a few times a week if you've got a long commute.

There are a handful of them at businesses and it's wonderful if your car can support it. We get about 60mph on those chargers, so even a quick food stop gets you 20-30 miles of range. 50% charge in about 2 hours! Most public AC charger

Anyone involved in RC aircraft will gladly tell you that getting a stable radio link for video and control past 4km is anything but simple. Even a basic analog video signal is orders of magnitude more data than what you'd be transmitti

They contain huge AC/DC inverters. The car has a small, usually 10 or 20kw inverter built in that handles level 1 and 2 charging. Usually about the size of two textbooks per 10kw. When you're at a DC fast charger they still only h

Scott Manley did a good break down of their landing profile. They maintain a ballistic trajectory set to miss the landing pad / barge and it's only on successful re-ignition of the engine that they align with the landing pad.

In the US there are quite a few landings just outside of NYC and LA. I'd guess London is too far inland, and it's cheaper to run fiber over land. There is probably also an incentive to keep the cables away from major shipping lane

Yep, we have them in our office and I used them a ton for phone calls pre-pandemic. I always jokingly called them "screaming shacks" but never saw anyone realize their stress reducing potential.

QR codes are much less resilient to interference. Barcodes can be easily read on flexible material and handle glare and obstructions quite well. QR codes need to remain flat and are very error prone if even a small bit of the pattern is blo

Really disappointing considering they now support up to a 6k external display. Yet you can't do 2x 1080p, or 2x 4k. I think Apple knows a lot of customers care about this and want it to be a barrier getting them into a pro machine. The

That just about lines up with our experience. Our 2014 S 85 has about 200k miles and we're sitting at 13.5% degradation. 230 miles vs. the 265 it was rated new.

Yeah, it's been very surprising as a Tesla owner to learn that there's no way to opt-out of this tracking in the car. Your location is always relayed to the app, and your only option is to log out of your account in the car, which

My biggest gripe with Tesla is their lack of carplay and android auto. They offer their own navigation software to automatically plan charging stops on long trips, but for most trips I just want Waze and their excellent traffic aware routin
