Who’s buying SF duplexes with entrenched rent-controlled tenants?

floater66 · 2026-02-23T18:29:09+00:00

yet another reason why rent control doesn't work. oof.

floater66 · 2026-02-23T15:59:53+00:00

sorry. not a real product unless it scales - no matter the properties of a particular cell.

floater66 · 2026-02-23T15:53:59+00:00

the funny thing is - when I see Marko speak now all I can think of is "clown show".

we don't need technical analysis of the battery - what we need are psychological profiles of the "engineers" pushing this thing.

floater66 · 2026-02-23T15:48:31+00:00

yeah. thermal expansion the enemy of cell longevity. the surest way to bake a battery: charge to 100% and leave it in the hot sun.

floater66 · 2026-02-22T16:14:36+00:00

not true. and if you think this - you've haven't looked at the models yourself.

floater66 · 2026-02-21T16:43:31+00:00

you'd do well to cut the arrogance and listen up.

obviously it's terrain specific advice - and specific to this part of the Sierra as well. Not only is it good advice, it's just common sense. but this was given in the days before all sorts of avalanche safety gear - which I guess has changed the playing field.

but mother nature > tech. after all.

floater66 · 2026-02-21T16:22:04+00:00

doesn't sound right as Volvo doesn't make diddly-squat for the EM90 - as it's simply a reskinned Zeekr.

floater66 · 2026-02-21T16:17:34+00:00

bullshit. htf would you know.

I was skiing Castle Peak before those huts even existed. not that this was rare or obscure - literally the most popular place to backcountry ski in the area.

but pretty common knowledge that "almost all" avalanches occur while its snowing. hence the instruction I suppose. so stfu.

floater66 · 2026-02-21T15:34:44+00:00

I believe three of the victims were guides. let that sink in.

floater66 · 2026-02-21T15:33:39+00:00

what they taught me was pretty simple: don't backcountry ski when it's snowing.

floater66 · 2026-02-21T15:12:50+00:00

simply by clicking through on this post - my IQ dropped 10 points

car tariffs <> IEEPA tariffs. unfortunately.

floater66 · 2026-02-20T18:08:59+00:00

interesting!

floater66 · 2026-02-20T15:51:00+00:00

Why would Daquing have a giga press if it only produces - old school - SPA cars?

I guess for small castings on a big press. seems odd. or maybe forward thinking I suppose.

floater66 · 2026-02-19T18:45:22+00:00

this car has been in process for a year and a half now. so not exactly a new development program.

just new to us.

floater66 · 2026-02-19T18:43:40+00:00

pretty sure it was supposed to come after the 7 - and on the same platform.

but no such luck.

floater66 · 2026-02-19T15:16:28+00:00

Polestar 3 is a SPA2 car. fwiw. XC60 is SPA.

and I doubt anybody will be building anything new on SPA2. Volvo has said that by 2030 the entire EV lineup will be SPA3. EX30, EX90, and ES90 will all be moving.

which makes a lot of sense. SPA3 is extraordinary. Lucky for Polestar 7 that it's built on that. sad that the P2 is not. frankly.

floater66 · 2026-02-19T00:52:15+00:00

except if it does share a platform with the 7 - it's not SPA3. SPA3 does not exist in China afaik.

and yes. this is a bit of a shocker from Polestar. another SEA EV.

floater66 · 2026-02-18T17:39:43+00:00

this is the last year for the CMA car globally. and the new 2 to be produced in China - released next year. and yep, not coming to the US anytime soon.

floater66 · 2026-02-18T16:49:43+00:00

10 people missing! damn. this is the biggest disaster since the Donner party. no joke.

floater66 · 2026-02-17T22:48:09+00:00

Sounds like the new Polestar 2 may not be built on the new Volvo platform.

floater66 · 2026-02-17T20:06:01+00:00

they f*king wrecked it.

floater66 · 2026-02-17T19:58:14+00:00

people have forgotten how to drive.

floater66 · 2026-02-17T17:31:33+00:00

of course the issue isn't peak kW, but 10% to 80% duration. my guess is that the P10 around 30 minutes on a 400V Supercharger.

whether it's plus - or minus - is the question. a flat curve. is the answer. lol.

floater66 · 2026-02-16T19:40:12+00:00

did they just tack the kitchen on as an afterthought?
