To me it looks like a Cybertruck.

... it's an Ent.

The trolley problem is just a thought exercise in human moral decision-making. The key takeaway from the trolley problem is that humans will often choose inaction rather than make a utility judgment, because action would make them feel more culpable. Trolley problems are irrelevant to AVs...

When did he re-hire Tinucci?

Double-check the width. Folded mirrors: 86.6" Extended mirrors: 95"

That is a limit on remote viewing of the cameras when parked_ A supplement to sentry mode. It's nothing to do with driving.

Because 4680 low. That's not about BEV v PHEV v HEV v ICEV. That's about support v not support. When a company stops using a battery on new vehicles it can go one of 3 ways: - supported - battery is still manufactured for support of older vehicles - generic - there are generic alternatives -...

Braiiiinnnsss. Thread is done. Last post 4/26. But anyway @Cosmacelf meant that the OP even _mentioning_ single-phase v 3-phase implies he's not in North America.

You were interested enough to start a thread on it. Never attribute to malicebias that which is adequately explained by stupidity greed.

Your price per kWh isn't necessarily really more. Paying for service, demand and energy separately is how it should be. But policy often favors loading more of the service into the per kWh price in order to encourage efficiency, and the utilities love that because they can earn more by selling...

Not to mention that it was CARB's programs that allowed Tesla to have an aggressive strategy. For EVs we can also _easily_ look at China. China had EDIT two a bunch of key policies: - high cost of registration for ICEVs and HEVs, and in some cities PHEVs as well - copied CARB's ZEV program...

Keeps it simple for viewers. Dealership implies that they will sell cars there. Store might not.

V2H and V2G are _very_ different. I don't see V2G ever being a big thing. V2H makes sense, but there's less value in V2H if you have V2L. V2L is increasingly common. V2G has had people beating the drum for years and we just see pilot programs. The biggest issue I see is that V2G is...

Interesting thing is that the NEVI awards include money to Wawa for that exit in Horsham, PA, so I assume it's the same one. Maybe they subbed it to Tesla. :P https://www.penndot.pa.gov/ProjectAndPrograms/Planning/EVs/Documents/NEVI%20Round%201%20Conditional%20Awards_List_FINAL.pdf "Wawa, Inc...

That's not Supercharger news from Musk. That's MSN writing about it.

Tesla has a lot of stalls, but with limited max power per site so if a site is very busy individual vehicles have limited power. I think that's the cost compromise they made.

Well, it could be that they only realized it was happening after the recent Supercharger news prompted them to have an intern do some web searches. :P

If Tesla opens up the network to all EVs and it can't be profitable then it either says that EVs can't work without a subsidized network, or that Tesla's network is too expensive. Otherwise, a slowdown in network growth makes sense if overall EV sales growth is also slowing down or drivers of...

TaaS can handle commuting with ride sharing. It's public transportation but without the inconvenience of hub and spoke.

I'm sure they wouldn't start work without new contact but far less concern about existing jobs.

7 _locations_, more chargers. Some take their time. Maine has had two rounds, 14 main sites. Only Rockland is built. Maine has also recently awarded money for pairs of 150kW+ chargers.

RFP EM-011-2024: EV DC Fast Chargers at Maine Destinations This is funding for pairs of 150kW+ chargers at popular destinations. The Notice of Award was released 4/26/2024, much earlier than the original expected date of 5/14. 3 sites in Gorham, 2 in Orono, plus Greenville, Millinocket and...

Unfortunately Tesla didn't get NEVI money for Portland so no obvious upgrade. There will be new NEVI chargers at Hannaford, as well as more close by at another site.

V3 Splitter! https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supercharger-kuttawa-ky-us-62.326844/ On I-24, Kuttawa - US-62, KY splits 176.6 miles, 77.2 miles from the Start at I-57 near Pulley's Mill, IL, 99.8 miles to Nashville - Dickerson Pike, TN 30I-24Start (I-57 near Pulley's MillIL)Nashville...

Who's the actual host there? Is Huck's just the convenience store operator or does it own the site? The Huck's has the same address.

There's quite a lot of natural gas storage. It helps with seasonal demand variation. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/ng_stor_cap_dcu_nus_a.htm

Too big. Large turning radius. No configurable regen braking (and no blended braking) No dumb cruise option/fallback. Also: No service center in state. Poor customer service. Frameless windows. Oversized wheels. (Although everybody's doing it, unfortunately.) Tesla doesn't and apparently will...

It doesn't matter if you can't catch them, and then recover the cost from them. The utilitarian in me says to punish it like horse rustling.

Ironically Musk also occasionally expresses concern about low birth rates.

When you see Tesla reporting the ability to identify panicked drivers and angry drivers, you'll know they're making progress.

Another thread, another "Will this go ahead?"

People care more than consumers do. The ultimate solution are products that are cheaper or better value than the status quo so that the consumers buy anyway. For example there's very little light bulb debate now because LEDs don't have the performance issues that CFLs have.

Well, in the case of Ecotricity's network, it was seemingly destroyed by the CCS chargers they bought. CCS drivers would complain about chargers not working, while Leaf owners continued to use the network with far fewer problems. Ecotricity just sat on its hands until Gridserve bought them...

New power lines work like that here. There's a price per foot for pole/buried and then you have amortized equity in the new line if used for anybody else.

Almost all V3s are open to others, but there's no guarantee.

supercharge.info is the list of changes on Supercharge dot info. That's also the default page because it saves on map API calls for nerds who see nothing's changed since the last refresh. :P I think the information reported by people from China sometimes lags so they have bursts of openings listed.

Also for cost reasons Tesla prefers to use back-in stalls. The pre-fab units are back-in.

In balance, Tesla's design approach means that if the site is over half full consistently, they really need to expand because there's not enough power. So they'd get their Supercharger ... oh ... never mind.

"There will be new models". The statement "We have updated our future vehicle line-up to accelerate the launch of new models" reads to me as "We were working on really fancy new stuff, but we now need to get new models out and cost reductions sooner than the really fancy new stuff could...

On a US Numbered Highway note: the opening of Vernal, UT reduced the largest gap on US-40 to 175.7 miles from Limon, CO to Oakley, KS. If you can't manage that, just take I-70 which has Goodland, KS and Colby, KS.

At least it's in a gap. And it has NEVI money. So maybe whomever the work was reassigned to will get to it eventually.

How often do you get soil at Home Depot? What's buried in your back yard? And how come if you're getting a drink at Starbucks, you're suddenly concerned about value seeking on your AV? You can always rent it for the time needed. Much better than now. No trying to upsell insurance. The key...

Somebody has to deal with somebody on the new sites that will apparently still be added. They'll still have to be validated. Somebody has to decide any agreed "rental". So who'll do that? Other legal staff could handle the legal agreements. They've been using pre-fab for a while now but I do...

Meh. Plenty of people get in taxis now, and planes with multiple people without hesitation. They go work at businesses with a lot of people and customers coming in and out. Cars are a convenience. AV has potential to offer the core point-to-point convenience at low cost, competing against...

Deadheading might be reduced with sharing. Get commuters sharing and you reduce the fleet significantly. I think in an AV world sharing would be very large. In-your-face, calculated savings in $/hour in your app. Or it's the fact that Waymo's AV just aren't good enough yet _really_ to operate...

Geely. Check your autoreplace.

Intercity. Hello. Longest distance thread guy here. There's plenty of A to Bs in the USA without Superchargers directly on the fastest route, especially if you're going North-South in the Midwest or Rockies or E.g. Bonner's Ferry, ID to Baudette, MN is 1183.3 miles. (Kalispell, MT...
