I think my experience is skewed by not having a dcfc capable car. I charge exclusively j1772. And use plugshare to find the chargers. In 5 years of ownership I’ve charged not at home probably 150 times. Of those times I would say I couldn’t get the charger to work maybe 20 times. And of those 20 probably half didn’t have any other option at the same location that I was able to get working.

Again this is skewed by filtering through plug share and not even attempting locations that have comments claiming they’re broken.

Those are just fake vests bought specially for that purpose. Nobody would think to take off their actual vest at the last gathering for the school year.

Good call, didn’t think of that.

Those initial shock waves are impressive.

Subsequent mines weren’t so impressive.

“hey Tesla, turn on the defroster”

—“ok, indicating right”

“No! I need defrost!”

—“I didn’t get that, say again”

“Turn on the windshield defrost”

—“ok, wipers on high”

Then don’t even try squirrel.

HP is kiloWatt and lb/ft is Newtonmeter

kW=(0.105NmRPM)/1000 HP=(LbFt*RPM)/5252

Give you one guess… you won’t need it.

Plant manager sending out a site wide email saying that we’re doing awesome, and we’re desperately hiring so refer all your friends. One month after layoffs were announced, and those to be layed off still had a month to go.

I agree with you fully here. Probably why I have a 500e for commute and a '95 F-250PSD for when I need a truck.

So efficiency is what you care about?

The only thing capitalism actually tries to do efficiently is make more profits.

Queue is a line of something. Cue is a hint or signal.

Eventually nobody.

Capitalism isn’t about sustainability, it’s about making the most amount of profit in the shortest amount of time.

Eventuall you bleed everyone dry and nobody has a job. But for a short amount of time the shareholders will have had a huge number of 0’s and 1’s in a database somewhere equating to their “worth”

Definitely better inside your chest than outside it. So I hear.

I’d bet the conversion companies could almost as easily convert the phev Pacifica as the gas only Pacifica.

Agreed, most people don’t really know how far an ev goes on a kWh. In my experience: Trucks average 15-20mpg. Evs average 2.5-4mi/kWh.

Let’s take the high of the truck and the low of the ev for comparisons. 8.32/20=0.42/mile gasoline 0.42/2.5=0.17/mile electric

In my case both are cheaper as my fuel is~$4.30/gal, and the car I drive gets 38mpg. (0.11/mile) But also my electricity is 0.12/kWh and my electric car gets average 4mi/kWh. (0.03/mile)

Obviously sabotage.

He weaseled his way into the company and changed an engineers documents without them noticing, causing them to over rate the motor controller…

Or just an over current, which could be as simple as surge when connecting due to a discharged capacitor.

You do understand how much energy (and therefore pollution) it takes to launch any significant mass above the karman line, right?

A good rule of thumb is to look just below the side mirrors. The average height person seated correctly will see the stop line appear just below the side mirrors when the front bumper is at the line.

Easy way to know with yourself in your own car is to park right at the line, then sit in the drivers seat and compare where the line is in relation to the mirrors when seated normally.
