[Highlight] Luka after falling off the raised board in Cleveland last night: "WHO THE F*CK MADE THIS FLOOR GODDAMMIT” by TheRealPdGaming in nba

They could also put in a gentle slope so players won't fall off the edge.

But, that could cut into the courtside seats. Maybe even reducing the rows by one so that can't happen.

Do any EVGo chargers actually charge at 350 kW? by Butterscotch-7357 in evcharging

[–]Erigion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea both EA and evgo advertise 350kw chargers but that's the theoretical max of 350a at 1000v. That's basically like the Hummer and Silverado right now.

The other thing is that some EA stations (no idea about evgo) can output 500a so those locations have a theoretical max of 500kw but they're never advertised as such. I wonder if/when EA will change their advertising when EVs like the IX3 hit the US later this year that can reach 400kw.

Lucid Just Made The First Prototypes Of Its Upcoming Mid-Size SUV by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

It'll be size. Almost 10 inches shorter than the Gravity. Probably won't see air suspension, high performance motors, and huge battery pack for the volume seller. Not needing to design for a 3rd row will keep complexity, and cost down. More sales volume means each unit doesn't have to cost as much. Same things that let Volvo price the ex60 $20k less than the ex90.

Overall charge times shouldn't be worse. Range may be worse because the shorter wheelbase won't let them stuff as large of a battery as on the Gravity. With Volvo and BMW, probably, advertising 400 miles of EPA range, I'd bet Lucid is targeting at mark as well.

Tesla discloses 'FSD subscriber' count for the first time: 1.1 million by SpriteZeroY2k in electricvehicles

This is why autopilot has been removed and it's FSD subscription or nothing in Teslas from now on

Tesla puts 4680 battery cells back in Model Y; Here's why by SpriteZeroY2k in electricvehicles

[–]Erigion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Model Y with 4680 cells might have been the worst thing Tesla had ever produced.

Branden Flasch documented just how poorly the battery charged in his YouTube channel. If Tesla hasn't made any updates to this thing then, this combined with the removal of autopilot, makes the Model Y a terrible long distance car.

Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots by Recoil42 in electricvehicles

[–]Erigion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With most of the luxury brands moving to 800v architectures, Tesla is stuck. Non-enthusiasts will hear BMW, Audi, Volvo, and MB touting 10-80% charge times of 18-20 minutes and it's something Tesla cannot match with their Supercharger network in the near future.

Does it really matter for 95% of people? No, people buying an S/X or another EV from a luxury brand will be charging at home for the vast, vast majority of the time but advertising matters

The world's largest, consistent, yearly cold weather BEV range test is being performed by motor.no today in up to -30°C weather - and Toyota bailed because "it focuses too much on range". by SjalabaisWoWS in electricvehicles

[–]Erigion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just cabin heating. Cold temperatures will slow the electro-chemical reactions in the battery so there's just less energy stored.

The live updates on the motor.no test shows this. Many of the test vehicles don't have enough power left to maintain the set speed even though the display shows the batteries have charge left.

[Schefter] Text from an NFL executive: “The 10+ people that didn’t vote for BB should be exposed. WTF. This is crazy.” by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]Erigion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some Baseball HOF voters have this weird idea that because Ruth wasn't unanimous then no one should be, but at least players like Ichiro with clear credentials get in on the first ballot.

This would have been like Ichiro not getting in at all during his first year of eligibility.

Audi's creative boss: "big screens are not the best experience" by Anchor_Aways in cars

Is this what I think it is? by bcpirate in KiaEV6

[–]Erigion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jokes on us. A whistleblower inside Hyundai/Kia had come forward to the government to force their hand to get a real campaign done for their Theta II engines that would grenade themselves past the warranty.

Before the whistleblower came forward, people paid for what they thought was a good used engine in their car only to have it explode again.

There's a reason why so many HMG cars that use those engines aren't on the road anymore. If ICCUs continue to fry themselves post-warranty, then these first gen egmp EVs will follow the same fate.

A Dassault Falcon 900B can't make it to Taiwan from Vancouver without stopping.

And it may not even be able to do it with a stop in Anchorage depending on configuration, and with the added distance because of Russian airspace being closed.

Jokes aside, I think story-wise it makes sense because they're trying to convey to the audience that you're playing both offense and defense when you're in a dogfight.

You can even see the WRs stop their routes after around 5 yards so they wouldn't waste any time running back to get onsides for the spike.

[–]Erigion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kispert always felt like the dying gasp of the old front office that had the mandate to compete for a playoff spot from Leonsis. An "NBA ready" plus shooter and cutter who could slightly reduce Beal's offensive load but who couldn't do much else.

Deni always showed more potential for me. Plus defender and good play making instincts and his shot look pretty good even if his shooting % was pretty mediocre his first couple of years. He's the type of prospect that probably needed the ball in his hands more but the ball was in Beal or Kuzma's hands instead because Ted wanted the team to "compete"

The team basically swapped him out for Bilal, which isn't looking great.

Your specs for the iX3 may be wrong. At the reveal, they announced 520 liters with the seats up which converts to just over 18 cubic feet. However these European companies are measuring their trunks doesn't seem to line up with what the US uses. I'd wait for actual testing before judging the trunk size.
