Seems like everything Tesla announces is a vague hand wave and a “trust me” of late.
My personal feeling is that they’ve underestimated other manufacturer’s progress and are making announcements too far ahead of their ability to deliver them just to appear like they’re still competitive.
Why the fuck does Aussie zone block so many instances? You guys okay out there?
I’m not entirely sure we’re missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.
But again… why be mad at China? They are making big investments in their own people and industries to boost their own country’s abilities and better their future.
Meanwhile the US is just trying to hamstring the rest of the world instead of doing better.
They’re living the American dream y’all used to aspire to.
How come people get mad at the Chinese Government for assisting in building their industries, rather than getting mad at their own Governments for NOT assisting in building theirs?
Buddy, keep fighting the good fight, but there has got to be a better way to post about this shit where you don’t come across as insane to those not already in the know. This reads like something from insanfacebookposts.
There’s always someone who posts like they’re a homeless person in a park telling you that god is a sock.
Wherever I see this rambling I just move on to another topic. You know you’ve reached the bottom of the barrel when it appears. This, or those images macros of Ralph picking his nose saying “other team stupid” or whatever.
Now that’s more like it!
I could write a book on the disastrous experience with our fleet of Vitos. Suffice to say we will never consider any Mercedes product again.
Like the Volkswagen ID.Buzz, Kia’s PV5 looks more like a minibus. At 4,695 mm long, 1,895 mm wide, and 1,899 mm tall, Kia’s passenger electric van is slightly smaller than the European ID.Buzz model (4,712 mm long, 1,985 mm wide, 1,937 mm tall).
Its a pity the only EVs that are getting announced are small, and aimed purely at the people mover market. I guess because service vans are usually bought based on price, and BEV is just not enough available power to cart a tonne of gear around over long distances.
I’m looking to replace our diesel service vans (mix of Toyota HiAces and Hyundai iLoads) and I want to go up a little in size, not down to the tune of 500mm or more.
Come on BYD, take that Shark 6 idea and make a van out of it. The Whale 6. I’ll take half a dozen.

That’s my argument. People with Tesla cars are all carrying on about separating the product from the CEO and I’m like… your money is the difference between him being a relatively harmless crazy person ranting in a public park somewhere, and being the president of the US whose actions are causing real world hardship to a heap of people.
I did a work trip that was twice that distance and I never even left the state 😢
Comparing this specific heating per volume, the Tesla 4680 cell creates around 2x of the heat to be dissipated at a 1 C load (Figure 8). Thus, when designing a system with the same power requirements, the cooling needed for the Tesla 4680 cells must dissipate approximately 2x more heat per volume than that needed for the BYD cell at the same load. Therefore, the LFP electrode design is more favorable for designing a cooling strat-egy for fast charging.
Interesting that Tesla is the king of fast charging, despite the technology being objectively worse in a fast charging application.

If you ever needed further proof that crypto is a grift…
I hope it crashes straight to zero, along with every other crypto currency, NFT, chia, and whatever other “idle your car engine to solve sudoku puzzles you can trade for drugs” bollocks is floating around.
Between this and AI we’re wasting so, so many resources and killing the planet for nothing.
I prefer the separation.
Its interesting to read 3 or 4 topics on the same thing (sometimes it’s even the same person posting to multiple instances) but getting wildly different “public opinion” depending on where it was posted and who ended up as the top comment (which tends to influence the rest of the comments).
Who cares? If your upvote or downvote or any other activity you deliberately perform on a public platform is something you’re embarrassed about and wouldn’t be willing to do in a face to face engagement you probably shouldn’t be doing it.

Our EV doesn’t have a spare, which I wasn’t concerned about as I’ve had maybe two flats in my driving history and one of those I just pumped up and drove to the tyre shop for a repair.
What did catch me out recently was not having a jack. It makes sense though - car has no spare, so why include a jack?
We got a screw in the tyre a few weeks back and it was leaking too bad to pump up for even a short drive. I figured I’d jack up the car, take off the rim, and take it in the wife’s car to the tyre joint.
Things to note:
Didn’t want to leave it perched on a jack and a single wheel, so took the tyre off and ended up replacing the screw in the hole that was leaking with a bigger screw… Then pumping it up and driving it to the tyre joint.
Moral of the story - might be easier to just carry a small selection of different sized screws and a screw driver.
It’s too small for a rim and tyre.
1Password is the only one I found that I can share with the family, syncs changes practically instantly, and actually detects login fields on every platform I use it on (Android, Windows, Linux).
Like every other announcement of something that’s %100$ definitely going to happen from this bloke, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me every quarter since 2016…
