Even in the worst case when an electric car goes less (people don’t just use Teslas), net revenue can go up if costs go down, it’s just basic business 101. But as others have said, plugging in the car in a mall while having a lunch break is

I see, the main disks should be probably defined when mounting (allow memory mapping), but it needs a lot of kernel work to know whether it all is worth it or not. Still, the current problem with mmap is that it's buggy on some operati
