What’s your small EV?

Would be pretty in character for Elon to turn out to be a high level cocaine dealer…

What is good for humanity as a whole isn’t the same as what is best for any individual. Why should the government get to tell me to expose myself to a virus with an initially reported mortality rate that would have resulted in death carts in the streets. If the government told you to take six six cylinder revolvers, load one round in one of the three pistols, and randomly select one to play Russian roulette with would you do it? The early reports of dying from covid were worse percentages than that.

Nickel, like Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum (NCA) or Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese (NCM).

It's shorthand for the cathode chemistry.

24 million would be a rounding error to any significant new power infrastructure. Coal and nuclear plants cost in the billions to build.

The real issue with building any kind of massive solar installation is getting power to where it's needed. For instance, a massive solar plant in Africa is useless to Europe, because there's no effective way of getting the power there, not in the amounts needed.

Wait - nickel? Like nickel cadmium? Isn’t that shit toxic?

Please remind me why I should trust anything I’m told by a stranger without verification on my part. Especially when the statement is obviously wrong.

this has been the case to an extend, though. if you replaces part of your hardware, you might lose your windows license.

and, that doesn't requires TPM, it only needs your hardware IDs. so TPM are irrelevant to that future.

Dude. I own a '21 Mach E and a '98 Cobra SVT. I hate Tesla. You read too much into my wording.

Yeah, science! Mr. White!

Elon is doing a pretty good job of telling the world exactly what a fucking buffoon he is.

How do you convert electric vehicles to miles per gallon?

maybe next they'll block using works owned by other people

Imagine new government-compliant messenger: 60% of the time we don't read your messages!

that's a square about 438 miles per side.

While that is a huge area I suspect that solar panel manufactures make a non trivial impact towards that amount each year.

renewables (sun, wind, water, geothermal) are projected to overtake coal world wide as the most common source of power in 2025 if not a bit sooner. (the war in Ukraine has accelerated adoption of renewables)

You're hoping that China decides to not censor things.

Okay.

If I were you, unless you’re using that truck for local work I’d probably look at replacing that sienna with a smaller EV first. Electric trucks still have a ways to go, and the efficiency leaves a lot to be desired. They claim MPGe is 70mpg but depending on your rates it could be closer to like 35mpg.

We have an ev, but I also still have my 92 1/2 ton truck I use for just truck things. It’s dirt cheap to keep running, but most of our miles are on the smaller electric car which gets a real world equivalent of 100mpg (give or take depending on where you live, cost of gas, cost of electricity.)

On our smaller ev we save around $10k~$15k over the next 100k miles by going electric.

I’m personally really looking forward to what the next generation of trucks will bring in terms of efficiency (aerodynamic focus) which will also help with range.

It's more scaremongering.

There is a joint exercise in psyops being planned by the five eyes to manufacture consent for another war but in China. Or what they call the indo pacific region.

Lithium prices which were down 20% over the five month peak last time I checked are now closer to 30% off the highs and heading south fast.

People who paid top dollar for used IC autos in the last few years are going to be regretting it when EV prices collapse and the market is flooded with unwanted ICs.

If you look at that five year lithium carbonate price chart, you notice that the bubble began in 2022. This was when the LiFePO4 patents expired. That meant any manufacturer could make batteries without cobalt and that caused the spike in lithium as that was the next bottleneck. That bubble, though, also led to a massive investment in new lithium production which never was rare to begin with. Now that it's starting to come on-line, we are heading for much lower battery prices. That's good news but it also means there will be follow-on consequences.

If Ford's EV numbers turn out to be accurate or even conservative, what does that mean for oil prices?

You could create dozens of unique characters per day, but ultimately they're going to be linear. They won't react in-the-moment based on your/other NPC's decisions. A future version of GPT could allow for real-time decision-making by the NPCs. Those items and such? All generated on the fly.

Yeah but do they spontaneously combust? Or is the fire suppression system an addon subscription service?

I would love to see more info on how that works. Are they converting DC back to AC for distribution on our current grid? Can our current grid handle DC transmission without significant loss cheaply? I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm geniunely curious.

What about an octopus hugging my step-sister? Inquiring minds want to know.
