  1. 5 mph, if you can run faster than that you'll be fine

    I hear king day fantasies whenever I hear extremists (of the American variety) and preppers speak. Taking this fantasy too seriously seem to be a pathology that our culture re-enforces in too many ways. When it comes to a machine uprising, though, anyone who has been a sysadmin realizes that...

  2. 5 mph, if you can run faster than that you'll be fine

    I'm a former sysadmin. A world in which there is a machine uprising is the timeline in which little ol' nerdy me becomes a warlord. Not too bad as fantasy dystopia go, really.

  3. The lost history of the electric car – and what it tells us about the future of transport

    I mistakenly put down the price of the highway-capable future-proof EV I want. I'm not willing to pay more than about $20k (new or used) for a highway-capable ICE vehicle, and highway-capable EVs are about $40k+ (new). There was a movement for "neighborhood electric vehicles" a few years ago...

  4. Biden Wants Extra Incentive For Union-Built Electric Cars—Which Would Exclude Teslas

    The range of the CT3 is necessary to replace how I use my existing truck. If I used my truck differently, though, then the CT1 would be a possibility. Maybe a $30k CT1 could replace my wife's Civic, given our usage pattern. But that's her call.

  5. Biden Wants Extra Incentive For Union-Built Electric Cars—Which Would Exclude Teslas

    This limit might also be intended encourage EV makers to introduce more affordable models which qualify for the subsidy. Not helpful to the CT, but it may be very helpful for the unrevealed compact Tesla.

  6. Biden Wants Extra Incentive For Union-Built Electric Cars—Which Would Exclude Teslas

    They're thinking that the program will only cost a small fraction of what it would have otherwise, because they're only subsidizing people who are struggling (compared to the Teslarati). Fair points, if that's what they're thinking.

  7. The lost history of the electric car – and what it tells us about the future of transport

    These kind of electric cars never really went away. You can buy one today with the same capabilities now from Club Car, Yamaha, or GEM. We just call them golf carts now. A new golf car costs like $9000 and can haul people, groceries, and other basics just fine. These vehicles are really good...

  8. Off-topic: nothing to see here - Tesla Van

    The X and the Y are family cars. Vans are basically the size and shape of a toolshed inside. Many are fitted out with cabinets and tool boxes, just like a toolshed. If your business requires a rolling toolshed, and towing a trailer doesn't benefit you, then a cargo van is the right tool for...

  9. Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them

    The systems integration for trailer-based power is harder than it looks. The natural way to do it would be to extend a CANBUS wire to the trailer, with some sort of standard to define the messages which would trigger braking xor power. It's totally doable, but it would require a full...

  10. Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    "Bolt" was the internal engineering name for the "battery volt". The name leaked, and the marketing people said the "Bolt" name got too much public attention -- and so they decided to stick with it. [shrug] I was all stoked to buy one, but my local Chevy dealer told me to stop bothering them...

  11. Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    How exactly is the Mach-E a poorly executed economy car?

  12. Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    Considering that I (and likely most of the engineering, marketing, and management teams at Ford) were born after the Mustang II ceased production... It's not forgotten as much as it is ancient history. I'm in my 40s. Having read the Wikipedia article on the 2nd generation Mustang, though, I...

  13. Gigapress video

    Big robot SMASH little robots!* * their aluminum bits, at least, as part of the recycling process.

  14. Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    Wouldn't being beaten on the track by an CUV sully the Mustang name even more? It's kind of a catch-22 for Ford, if you think about it: Mustang == slow_V8_convertible xor Mustang == fast_electric_CUV. Which ones means people will still Mustangs in 20 years? I'll take the fast electric CUV...

  15. Tesla plans to put Insurance, FSD subscription directly into smartphone app

    You already subscribe to insurance, maintenance, and fuel -- the bills are just separate from how you paid for your car (assuming you didn't lease, er, subscribe). I'm not a fan of expenses which go on in perpetuity, either, even small ones (I'm looking at you Netflix and Hulu), either. The...

  16. Tesla Boats/Watercraft?

    There are already other electric boat makers out there. Tesla doesn't have to break down this particular barrier. The industry is already doing it on their own. How could Tesla apply their secret sauce to do it better?

  17. Tesla canceled my solar roof

    There area alternatives to the Powerwall. For instance, Generac keeps marketing their PWRCELL at me, as a Powerwall alternative. It looks like the F-150 Lightning of the household energy storage world. Old brand, new product, built to compete Tesla, may end up being the budget-alternative...

  18. Tesla canceled my solar roof

    Solar carport!

  19. TSLA Took a big dump today! WOW!

    Somebody's got to say it... My apologies, y'all! The demand for TSLA stock has nothing to do with TSLA's future profits, and everything to do with Tesla fandom. As a result, predicting TSLA's future stock price is a Hard Problem. Looking at Tesla as a business, my target for TSLA is around...

  20. Knock off the blockchain Elon

    Market manipulation is usually illegal. Cryptocurrencies are still in the Wild West stage, but if there is market manipulation happening here, market regulation will come. ?‍♂️ With great power comes great responsibility.
