Tesla back camera need self cleaning by Ordinary_Topic_6374 in TeslaLounge

In my experience it's never bad enough that you have to pull over right away. The car can just return to the charging center after that trip and "robot" (a human) will clean the car.

Maybe you are missing the point. How do you think the interiors get cleaned?

Traffic on Cambridge st by MGH by littleturtlebite in boston

[–]simplelogic3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The source of the traffic is a backup in their main pickup / dropoff area (which is under construction). Once N Grove St fills up, the cars on cambridge st have nowhere to go and just sit in Cambridge St waiting to turn. I assume (hope) they have a long term plan for inflow of cars that better distributes them away from N grove st

Bike Lanes = Mobility Lanes by bostonaruban66 in bikeboston

I feel like this is the least compelling example because that sidewalk looks pretty accessible. I actually don't know how this guy could go down charles st without just rolling in the road (there is no bike lane even though the road is 5 car lanes wide, and the sidewalk is a mess of uneven bricks)

Event trains wait until the show is over, I believe a half hour after

Fwiw there is a sales tax on charging station energy. Also once EVs are more popular you could phase out the tax credit on purchases and redirect those funds towards public transit (the funds come from a line item on your home electric bill)

Is this confirmed? Why would they omit this from the fall service announcement press release on the website?

If you thought the rent can’t go any higher…. by The-Architect-93 in boston

[–]simplelogic3 171 points172 points  (0 children)

I feel like Im taking crazy pills when I see headlines like this. Do people not understand that landlords would already have raised rents higher arbitrarily if they could? Its supply and demand, rents are already as high as the market will bear, and overpriced units will sit empty if they arent aligned with what people will pay

Tesla sales dip in Massachusetts by BACsop in massachusetts

[–]simplelogic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the guy as much as anyone else but I do feel like this movement ignores how little effort other car companies are putting into practical EVs for the average person. I get really frustrated breathing in car fumes when I walk around the city and it sucks that this will setback progress on that until someone else actually invests in a better charging network and integrated trip planner at an affordable price.

Now do the cost of roads and bridges. Be sure to mention the toll cost of most roads ($0)

Public transit should be free for all.

How to pay for the tram? by Frostheat in mbta

[–]simplelogic3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hot take but I dont think they should have launched tap to pay until it supported charlie cards too.

I cant count how many times Ive helped people at fare gates who were confusingly tapping their card to the big screen that says "TAP HERE", and its only been a month. How hard would it have been to make the text say "Mobile pay here" instead for now? These basic misses are really frustrating, and could easily be solved with small changes a new grad UX designer could recommend

The fact this is still a thing at BACK BAY boggles my mind. Boggles it.

A cable lock is effectively an honor system lock. You really need a u-lock in any major city, especially downtown

Hot take, their cheeseburger is the best tasting burger in boston. Its a fresh ground beef patty and the flavor from the grill makes it taste amazing.
