    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    I watched part of the video. And the fact that the algorithm flagged them wrongly sucks. But for clarity, Google owns YouTube, not Facebook/Zuckerberg.

    America the Miserable depending on your age!

    Maybe we can use science and medicine prevent unwanted pregnancy? Or maybe set an abortion limit? Those that can't use existing tools that are readily available to prevent something they obviously don't want to happen might need help. Similar to drunk drivers. First time is probably an honest...

    Interesting Articles Relating to EVs

    I never said they slightly tweaked existing tech. I pointed out that the tech previously existed. And they improved on it. You seem to be taking this personally. I acknowledged they succeeded in creating a vehicle segment like Toyota did with the hybrid. And yes, every new thing requires...

    So if someone has little chance of something they shouldn't try? Our politics should make certain their citizens don't do anything that they might fail at? Or maybe that a single parent isn't equipped to be a parent? And being a teen mom is just a death sentence for the everyone's future...

    You're making my points for me. Hype and hope kept the investment dollars coming in. Musk was very good at building the hype to accomplish this. If you only sell one product, you need to make that product work. You either survive and succeed, or you fail and don't. His business model was to...

    None of them wanted to build electric vehicles that would bite into their main sales. Which is why electric was relegated to souped up golf carts and whatnot. Electric cars working is their entire business model. Of course you take risk to make it work. They took the risk and made it work...

    Regenerative braking. Prius Aero. Everyone that makes a sports car Battery tech. Same chemistry as others but different form factor. The area Tesla really made strides in was learning the best battery cell form factor for their cars, and getting the optimization software dialed in. Which in...

    I don't dislike musk, although I'm not a fan either. He's just a guy doing his thing. Which Tesla tech are you referring to that the world needed in order to make an EV when they started back in the day? Electric motors? Tech existed already. Battery tech? Tech existed already. Regenerative...

    We live in an time where people's following to drug use are to provide needles and places to do drugs. I understand the need to help them not get infected by dirty needles, but that's enabling. We live in a time when someone can commit a serious crime, be provided and back out on the street...

    I agree certain things should be simple regarding gun ownership. Certain people shouldn't have guns, and it shouldn't be brain surgery to work out some simple rules. And both sides are being disingenuous.

    The tech was already there for the most part. It wasn't truly pursued by other manufacturers. Same with hybrid tech overall. It was used minimally as a means to an end (lower Cafe mpg). Now that legacy automakers, along with some startups, are in the game things happened quickly. Tesla/musk...

    That was bound to happen. Tesla had a long head start. When the choice is limited to a Tesla or a Nissan leaf and a couple other limited models, of course Tesla was going to sell a ton. They put in the work hyping the segment and building up their stock price to the point they had a cult...

    Controls on the person is now important than control of the tool. There are certain people that shouldn't own deadly tools.

    But it was still a man that decided to do that. And a man that did these things. The guns and bullets were tools to do what he set out to do. In lieu of those, he might have chosen something else. Like maybe diesel fuel and fertilizer. Perpetrated by anti-government extremists Timothy...

    Take care Ron They guy did have a crap ton of weapons for sure. And yes he did a lot of damage. I'm sorry for everyone there and your friends. That's a hard thing to deal with when you didn't sign up for it. And even if you did.

    But I thought guns kill people. You're saying people kill people? That's crazy talk. Of course, according to some, statistics don't lie.

    America the Miserable depending on your age!

    People outraged at gun violence and deaths. Arguing and beating each other over conflicts in other countries (pick one). The constant back and forth about who is right and who is wrong and how is so important for our future. Then you realize that they can't even get people to not drink and...

    This is an opinion piece, but overall I agree with the author. He seems to lean right, but the words and lessons are the same for everyone. https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/4607046-it-does-not-matter-why-a-man-lit-himself-on-fire-in-new-york/
