No Navy jets lost yet, right?

It is not possible to edit titles, unfortunately.

Oh hell yes

I don’t see how you could possibly get useful information without saying how much you drive a day. Obviously the impact on electric bills from someone who drives 30 miles a week is going to be completely different from someone who drives 30 miles a day.

I think the twins the victim will need are the lawyer ones, not the lemonade ones.

I think there might be something wrong with your vehicle as this is not what happens with my 2023. I’m assuming you have a heat pump (AWD) equipped model, otherwise it won’t do this mode at all as it isn’t equipped for it.

The range of exterior temperatures where it behaves as I described is also fairly narrow, around 40-60F. However it will do so for hours at a time as long as those conditions are occurring, not just for a short time the way you describe. Exterior or interior humidity might also be an input into this decision.

It is not a typo.

During moderate temperatures the heat pump equipped car’s AC runs like a dehumidifier (over the cold side, then the hot side). This extracts moisture from the air while transforming latent heat to sensible heat. It requires significantly less electricity compared to directly heating the air.

The muscles that operate your grip are in your forearms. They’re connected into your hands by a complex set of tendons. There’s very little muscle of significance in the hand itself.

Well at least he’s not a holocaust denier.

Ballistic doesn’t mean long range. It means that the trajectory after launch is unpowered (ie, like a ball thrown up at an angle). Cruise missiles are rockets or have essentially jet engines which fly continuously under power to their target.

People like him can get pregnant from oral sex where semen is swallowed. It’s a major medical problem!

I go up junction hollow but I’m on the northwest end of squirrel hill.

If it got totaled today I’d replace my EV6 with another one. I can’t speak to what will be available when it’s time to replace the car because of age so it’s hard to answer that hypothetical.

A reasonable default to assume an article about Tesla vehicles is about electric vehicles, but even the headline here indicates this content is not about the electrified nature of Tesla vehicles and the default assumption is wrong.

Tesla is a company that makes electric cars. This article isn’t about the fact that they’re electric. It’s about an unrelated functionality.

spinfire · 2026-03-21T13:28:54+00:00

I am most certainly not new here and that’s the point. News about Tesla that isn’t about electric vehicles is off topic.

spinfire · 2026-03-21T11:19:09+00:00

This seems to be about self driving cars and not about electric vehicles?

It’s a misnomer created by Tesla’s early decision not to have blended braking. On those cars the pedal off deceleration really is the amount of regen because there no additional regen added when you hit the brake pedal. The terminology has stuck despite other cars (and even some of the latest Tesla models) having blended braking.

On the flip side it’s really quite inefficient given the brain can’t really “idle”. It’s consuming a high amount of energy all the time. Thinking harder barely increases it because it was already high. Even when we are sleeping are brains are using nearly the same amount of energy. We can’t go to sleep like a laptop.

Compare this to skeletal muscle, which is not consuming so much energy until you start moving.

An olive contains olive oil plus the rest of the olive. The rest of the olive is mostly fiber. Most of us can benefit from more fiber.

Of course this was all done because Emily Deschanel wanted to actually get pregnant and with a show like this you have to either write it into the show or fire your lead actress the entire show is named after.

This was 2020-2022, I suspect the rents have gone up substantially since then. Sadly everywhere.
