There’s one in town with a black wrap with reflective blue 2 inch stripes on all the edges. Looks wonderfully Tron styled. But for me nothing will hide the god awful shape of it. Looks like a 6yo drew a Pontiac Aztec on graph paper. One thing I really do like is the style of the tires. Apparently the rubber is shit and they only last a few thousand miles, but I dig the blocky knobs around the outside. I wonder the CTs will look with a normal tire since I doubt owners are going to pay a premium for those POSs

Don’t think so, I just logged in to make sure I didn’t have the amps reduced or anything and was able to get in and adjust it.

Seems like we won’t have any issues unless you depended on the app for something. The chargers will still work, we just won’t be able to do anything with the app. Sucks if you used software to lower the amps or schedule for TOU or whatever. Better turn those features off, or maybe they’ll turn themselves off. Can’t really tell what will happen there based on the press release.

Get a new car now or be limited to companies that will still roll their own software. In the next few years it’s either going to be android based or custom like Tesla and Rivian

This completely glosses over the periods of times, in some cases decades, where none of those things happened. The Cold War was winding down when I started school and we never did a duck and cover. I graduated the year Columbine occurred so they didn’t institute active shooter drills till after. I’m in one of the lucky few age ranges where my biggest anxiety at school was bullies. This period of school my kids are in is very much worse than when I was in their equivalent grades.

This is effectively how “On a Pale Horse” by Piers Anthony starts.

Driving the F150, or even the MachE, we just have to take two spots most of the time. It feels wrong but it’s what Tesla recommends for non teslas. I’ve only used SC a handful of times, but usually get lucky and grab an end cap or the side mounted charger when available.

A membership and an account are two different things. I have a Tesla account, and pay about $0.56/kWh at local SCs. If I dropped $7 or so per month on a membership, it would cost me about $0.36/kWh. I don’t because I don’t use them often enough. I have had them derate to 70kW but it was 115F in the middle of the desert, don’t know if it was my car or the charger that was dropping the speed, either way it seemed reasonable at that temperature.

History? Sounds like something they teach at them librul brain washing institutions we call colleges. No way I trust those “experts” more than I trust my own feelings.

What would power these implants?

Replacing Alara didn’t help, and her PTSD aspect was really the most compelling per of her character. What really turned me off about her was how she could do everything. Need someone who can play 5 dimensional squidgyball? She’s already got her racket. The character was forced with poor writing to complete an arc too quickly. I like what the writers and show runners were trying and all, but the short seasons and long episode format weren’t great for telling that story.

I get the criticism of the cyber truck, and the hummer EV is ridiculous, but why do the R1T and Silverado EV not count as trucks? R1T is an expensive but great midsize go anywhere truck. Silverado EV is a range king and a little flat looking, but still 100% “truck”. Lightning is just the all around best value of a truck. I say this as a lightning owner, there are options in this market.

 

I don’t speak German and even if I did I wouldn’t know what is going on as to why there is so many posts in German referencing pizza. Anyone in Germany care to clue me in?
