I do see tool vendors often adding their own logos to the tools. They choose non-functional colors for styling. They'll make something more rounded or more squared for aesthetic reasons. For consumer-facing tools there are lots of li

And I can find tons of videos of cylindrical cells catching fire and exploding. What's your point exactly?

Chevy sells EVs with prismatic and pouch cells. I don't recall any they've widely sold that used cylinder cells. Most automakers use prismatic cells on their cars, even non-LFP variants.
914.
by vel0city 10mo ago
But it still is untrue even in the discussion of electric vehicles. Tons of EVs have been made safely with chemistries other than LFP with prismatic cells. In fact most non-LFP EV batteries are pouch or prismatic, not cylinder.

> The main issue with prismatic cells is that to be safe, they must be made with LFP chemistry, which hurts energy density This is obviously untrue. Tons of other chemistries have used prismatic cells with good safety as well. You think

I get that, but often the towers use GPS disciplined oscillators from what I understand (and have seen in limited circumstances), they inherently know exactly what time it is. Seems trivial to sync that as well, just kind of assumed they di

Don't a lot of cellular networks rely on highly synchronized clocks to properly handle TDMA-style transmissions? Shouldn't they be very in sync with the towers' times?

It weighs about as much as the smallest base model F150. Optioned out models and other trim levels easily hit 1,000lbs+ heavier. Meanwhile that base model equivalent weight F150 gets about 24mpg and thus pays about half as much gas tax whi

Average class 8 truck (>33,000lbs) burns under 11,000GGEa year, ratio is 1GGE=1.13gal of diesel. So somewhere under 12,500gal of diesel on average, but we'll use that to lean even more in the truck's favor. https://a

The kind of people choosing an EV wouldn't get a 20mpg car, it's an unfair comparison.

by vel0city 10mo ago
The average American car does not drive 20k miles. 12,500 is the average yearly mileage. And it's an EV, a closer comparison should be something more like a hybrid. It's not a giant truck.

No, I just want to pay a fair amount of taxes. Honestly the gas taxes should be increased or we should move to a tax structure where it's mileage, weight, and emissions based. Paying 3x the same taxes while having less externalities is
