Yeah, I think I disagree with the entire beginning of the paragraph. If we’re talking North America, then sure Tesla is the leading brand but that lead is being eroded. If you think globally, they aren’t though.

I also think the number of Tesla owners that are Tesla “fans” has dwindled rapidly. Most owners are still happy with their purchase according to consumer reporting. But more than ever before, Tesla owners are considering brands besides Tesla. This was something that Tesla relied on heavily for marketing, but the reality was that owners that wanted EVs had few choices. That’s not the case anymore. And the once rabid fandom is significantly smaller because most owners are now normal people buying a car. It’s not religion to them.

As far as Tesla fans being Elon fans? I think that’s less true than ever as well. And he’s certainly not winning his new allies over to EVs. I’ve got a family full of people that are politically like-minded that have no interest whatsoever to buy an EV, and they’ll probably die before they do. His fandom didn’t follow him into his ketamine fueled psychosis, he’s just got more paid bots amplifying him now because he own’s the bot farm and the bot platform.

So, the EV space has become a place where right-wing views have become more normalized.

I disagree with this sentiment the most. There have always been right-wing people in the EV space, for decades at this point. Many of them have owned Teslas and made no bones about their political leanings. But to claim there’s more acceptance or more normalization of right wing politics as a whole in the EV consumer spaces without any data whatsoever is beyond suspect in my opinion.

For a while I had daily notes that had a dataview linking to other notes created on the same day as the daily note, then I had a weekly note that linked to all my daily notes created during that week number. The note itself was a place to centralize links to other notes, jot down what was going on, stuff like that.

In the end, it was creating more work than I wanted to do and I wasn’t finding myself going back to review those daily or weekly notes. When I’m creating notes I never look at again, I know I’m wasting my time.

Speeds “exceeding 50 MPH”? Like, 51 MPH? The claimed efficiency is nonsense given the promotional videos from Tesla where they tried to obscure the driving time, distance, and speed. It also flies in the face of the EV Semi testing conducted last year

DHL’s statement is that their longest run was 390 mines, with no information about state of charge at the beginning or end. They are extrapolating the 500 mile distance.

This sounds like Pepsi’s first press statements before they found out what shit boxes these trucks are the hard way.

So report it to the FEC. What’s the question?

That approach and departure angle, tho. Such an amazing offroad vehicle.

Purchasing one of these pieces of shit is itself a flag on your insurance rating.

Jo’s needs to sit down. FIA is nuts, but Jos is a clown.

Liberty arguably turned the commercial aspect of formula 1 around, and FIA is ruining it with morality police bullshit. Nobody’s interested in stopping body piercings or clutching pearls over swearing besides Ben.

In the dark ages, Mosaic downloaded Firefox and IE. Time truly is a wheel.

Best use of chrome is downloading another browser.

Woops. It seems like you’re so ignorant of charging that you don’t know prices can and do vary by location. You’ve been so wrong that it’s almost impressive.

Big oof energy, bud. Try harder next time.

So, you just flat out can’t read or what? Again, I mentioned vehicles that can charge at higher rates. So that’s three times I’ve said it, let’s see if you pick up on it yet.

I bet your lie about daily use still doesn’t equal the number of times I’ve used Tesla chargers. You probably didn’t think you were talking to a former Tesla owner. I wonder what you think those videos of people putting wet rags on NACS handles are talking about. Couldn’t be derating, certainly.

So confidently wrong.

Yeah, the instruction set and the implementation in hardware is absurd at this point.

You cannot use these at all without a Tesla account

You absolutely can if you own a Ford or Rivian on Plug and Charge. I don’t have a membership, I’ve used the chargers. Confidently incorrect.

As someone who actually uses these chargers

As someone that’s clearly used them longer than you, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

they can deliver the maximum output for this vehicle

That’s why I mentioned vehicles that can charge at a high rate.

AMD and Intel have already partnered on killing x64 in the longer run and work is under way.

Note: NACS stands for North American Charging System.

Curious who’s making GM’s adapter, though. Hopefully they’ve contracted a company for their customers specifically so they don’t have to wait for Tesla to produce and ship them. Rollouts for Ford and Rivian customers has been foolishly slow.

Anybody looking to buy an adapter for their vehicle, I highly recommend the Lectron adapter over the A2Z unit.

Not sure where you’re located, but without a “membership” for Tesla charging, the cost is about double any other company near me. It’s insane and a great reminder to only use these chargers in an emergency when you have a vehicle capable of charging at higher speeds. Tesla’s chargers derate all the damn time.

what happens next?

More lies about timelines and features, with more social media team arguing anybody not saying it’s flawless is a “short”. That’s my bet based on the past 10 years of nonsense.

Bolstered by Cluster Truck? What? The 18% increase is more than triple the Cluster Truck’s delivery numbers, and the article very clearly says that Tesla’s deliveries only increased 1.2% after a five month “slump”. Someone needs a better editor.
