Many say they won't buy a new EV without NACS charging. But does that hold up economically?🤔 Imagine 2 cars (new/used) identical except the port. Both come with adapters for full NACS/CCS compatibility. What is the MAX additional would you pay for native NACS?

AI risk analysis is tunnel-visioned on frontier LLMs. Kamikaze drone swarms won't be unlocked by a 2T parameter supergenius in a data center. They'll be unlocked by the first "good enough" open source vision-language-action model that can run locally on a quadcopter. I would love

I love the way this administration has reframed interventionism: “Stabilizing [insert name of foreign country] is America First.” This way, no matter how they spend your tax dollars, it’s always “America First.” “We sent your money across the globe. No worries. America First.”

President @JMilei is trying to break 100 years of bad cycles in Argentina. He is a great ally of the U.S. and we look forward to his Oval Office visit next week. We do not want another failed or China-led state in Latin America. Stabilizing Argentina is America First.

Wonderful news! Mass COVID vaccine rollout has still had no noticeable impacts whatsoever on cancer-related mortality! We are in year T+4 for the SuperVaxAIDSCancer Apocalypse, and we're still not seeing the signs.

Not surprisingly, this means the pentagon has been lying about the intelligence they use for these attacks. It seems they are just targeting boats.

I'm disappointed with @Rivian. My 12v batteries died after 3.5 years. Which is fine. It's a very common and easy repair to perform. However - Rivian won't sell me a 12v battery to install myself. And they say if I buy anything off the shelf it could void my warranty. The

This is what local nullification of federal tyranny looks like. This is decentralization in action. And yet, some of those shouting the loudest for decentralization in the past are silent today. Thank you local fire fighters for serving your community.

My Lightning after 2 years charged faster and showed exactly the same amount of range as day 1. I don’t care about the buffer nonsense. This matters to everyday customers.

Battery capacity degrades over time, but so does fast charging performance. Comparing my 2023 Tesla Model Y LR's Supercharging data from the first year to the latest, peak speeds are only reached briefly (if at all), and it tapers faster up to 50% SOC. Result: a 15-minute charge

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

I think that the results of this poll could shed some insight as to the "drop" in value of certain used vehicles. Though mileage, age, features will still dominate.

His point is valid. This is why charging curves matter, not peak speeds at 0-10%.

Some EV evangelists say you can add meaningful range to an electric car during a toilet break on a motorway. But how much charge can you really add?

I've been extremely reluctant to use the F-word to describe this administration, and its cheerleaders. I think it's a dark place to go when you start calling people fascists. On the other hand, how can I read these statements from Musk, Miller and Daugherty, and not conclude that

Here are the FOUR incidents the Trump admin said justified federalizing the Guard. - Some protesters displayed a makeshift guillotine. - A picture of an unmarked ICE vehicle was posted online. - Protesters twice shined high-power flashlights at ICE officers' faces. That's it.
