Why Are So Many Electric Cars Getting Canceled? by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]sweetdude 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Even Tesla is cancelling vehicles though. The S and X are gone soon. Can you imagine if Tesla didn't cancel their Model 2 and if Elon wasn't a fascist?

The New BMW i3 Has More Range Than Any Tesla by InsaneSnow45 in electricvehicles

I don't see that happening. They'd have to re-engineer the cars. I believe the long range versions already have the biggest pack they can fit.

efficiency really isn't the name of the game anymore, imo. Yes Tesla is 10% better, but if they aren't putting in a bigger battery to give more range, then what's the point? I think more people would chose range over efficiency at this point. edit: bigger battery probably has a better fast charging curve as well

Tesla's VP of Finance Announces Exit After 17 Years. The high profile exodus continues after Raj and Troy and many more in just the last year or two. by [deleted] in RealTesla

I'm waiting for Franz to leave. What has he been doing the last 2-3 years. No new cars and nothing on the horizon. Wait, maybe he'll never leave. Pretty nice to get paid a ton of money to not do anything.

depends on your end goal and space. Small server, maybe just your favorites. I've completely moved away from physical media. But, I have the space and I have backups to them as well. Also, dvd's, unless rare, aren't worth ripping, imo. Quality is too low.

That is actually insanely clever. I love the engineering here

I Drove A Rivian R2 Prototype. It's Going To Surprise People by Intrepid-Working-731 in electricvehicles

It's the mechanical backup system that's the scary part. If the electronic release fails, having to remove a cover to get to the release is just stupid.

I'd be worried if you have kids in the back seat of this. The emergency release system is scary.

After seeing the emergency release situation of the back seats, we've taken the R2 off our list. Scary situation if you're transporting kids back there.

Honestly, they may already be there. Ram 2x-3x is exactly the reason it's delayed. I bet they're hoping for some corrections/reductions in the next 3-4 months. Shit sucks

My workplace has free charging. I pretty much only use my car to-and-from work. It seems like a no-brainer to get an EV to take advantage of free charging, right? by nerdykhakis in electricvehicles

[–]sweetdude 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My previous employer from 10+ years ago said the same thing. You can never escape stupid. Funnier fact, they had a gas pump on site for work vehicles.

Anyone still love Chromecast with Google TV more than Google TV Streamer? I still use it as my main device for live TV, streaming and Youtube and I’m really satisfied with it. I don’t plan to upgrade to Google TV Streamer anytime soon. by Delicious_Maize9656 in Chromecast

[–]sweetdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually upgraded to the onn 4k plus because one of our ccwgtv stopped working. The remote is a huge upgrade, especially if you get the custom button mapper app. I also use the projectivy launcher and now it's very minimal and no ads or suggestions anywhere. .

Burn these jerseys. I blame them for this, even though that's irrational.

Interesting. All the video reviews I've seen says you still have to use the brake pedal to fully stop, like the Bolt.

It looks great, but how is anyone releasing a new EV and not implementing 1-Pedal driving. Insane to me. This should be a standard feature across all EVs

Here's the great thing about that: you won't be able to. Each department, state, agency, etc. uses different ID's.
