    We have some definite challenges ahead.

    Here in AZ we have some extreme power peaks in summer for cooling. So the infrastructure can already handle peak demands. We get around 4000 megawatts from our nearby nuke plant, which has to ramp up and down (a challenge for nuclear). Adding night charging may actually be a good thing and...

    Morgan Stanley’s Jonas: Tesla To Surpass GM, Ford US Market Share

    I didn't claim it made sense, I stated that it does happen. We're not yet at zero-sum for EV vs ICE.

    Morgan Stanley’s Jonas: Tesla To Surpass GM, Ford US Market Share

    I'm a Linux system admin and my whole company and income is based on open source. But I have no time for that with things like phones and home automation, or cars--they need to just work.

    Morgan Stanley’s Jonas: Tesla To Surpass GM, Ford US Market Share

    Hah, great comparison. The anti-Apple nutters were a lot like the anti-Tesla people now. And while Android "share" has always been higher because it gets installed on junk $50 phones and even car radios or thermostats, that's extremely low profit for Google or zero profit.

    Morgan Stanley’s Jonas: Tesla To Surpass GM, Ford US Market Share

    I know two people with an EV that is an add-on and they kept an ICE vehicle too. EV for short daily trips, ICE for long trips. I don't know how common that is, but I think is indeed a market for them in addition, not instead of. A company that is probably poised for that is Solo.

    Market SHARE. The total EV market is growing astronomically. They will gain percentage, without an actual loss of numbers for Tesla.

    Morgan Stanley’s Jonas: Tesla To Surpass GM, Ford US Market Share

    GROSS margin numbers are over-rated. Tesla is hiding a lot of costs that other manufacturers don't have, like operating their own dealer network. So yeah, the "profit" is higher because dealers don't get their cut, but there's still an operating cost.

    The Anger of Tesla Fans Is Becoming a Problem

    Tesla is one of many examples where government is only getting in the way of safety and progress. Look at the headlight fiasco and just now NHTSA is being forced to review it. They also delayed safer headlights on motorcycles for a very long time.

    You should probably state your position with accurate words if you want to be understood.

    The Anger of Tesla Fans Is Becoming a Problem

    Autopilot has been deployed for years, and is very good.

    Exactly. There have not been "manual overrides" on cars in a very long time. Never will be again. People calling for some kind of manual mode in a Tesla...LOL!

    tesla-suffers-nationwide-app-server-outage-owners-cant-connect-cars

    A cable wired to a manual throttle, with an orifice jet controlled fuel delivery and a mechanically operated fuel pump. Nothing else anyone described here is "manual" and they are simply delusional.

    There's no such thing as a manual override on a vehicle that is 100% computer controlled. Nothing for sale today can be driven without a computer. You will never be able to buy a US-legal street vehicle with a manual control ever again.

    tesla-suffers-nationwide-app-server-outage-owners-cant-connect-cars

    The phone was still operable during the outage. It still works if you lose internet connection. You just can't use it to REMOTELY control the vehicle. The fob is a different thing from the card. It's an active RFID module like other cars with touchless entry/start. The card is a contact...

    It's true, apparently for people who still carry a flip phone? Also I have no idea what you mean by "nobody carries them" as I saw them sitting right at the desk on both of my trips into a Tesla dealser/SC.

    The Anger of Tesla Fans Is Becoming a Problem

    I run into this constantly, just happened yesterday: 1. Non-EV owner with only a tiny bit of knowledge posts anti-EV hit piece. 2. I point out the fact-based errors, without opinion. 3. FANBOI!!!!!!!!!

    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    That is absolute idiocy. Our other car is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator, and I thought it was strange that Jeep kept calling it "full stop adaptive cruise." I mean, yeah, that's how it SHOULD work! I would be so pissed if I were stuck with the Toyota junk. It's bad enough that the Jeep does stop...

    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    Not AP or even close to self driving, but I'm reminded of a recent shocking experience with Toyota. I rented a near new 2021 Tacoma off road with the ACC. First off, what a shit vehicle all around. The electronics are a joke. Brakes, unpredictable, and steering like an old truck. But the...

    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    No flying club I've been around will let you run off with a new aircraft you haven't flow before. There is no certificate, and it's mostly word of honor. Still, this is part of the training; to accept more training as needed. As a society we think cars need no training to start with, barely...
