The fleet versions are being limited to comply with a federal speed regulation.
My hope is that the public versions simply have no such requirement.
Personally I’d rather have a kei truck than a Slate. The former is likely to be cheaper, avoids issues with electric charging infrastructure near me, and doesn’t support Bezos.
Who the fuck cares?
Motherfucker.
Hang on to your hardware, PC folks. It’s gonna be a long ride back to reality.
Yeah, fair. I think I’m hedging with flip-flop.
Yeah. The Wiki offers the more sane answer.
Fun fact: Musk isn’t an engineer at all.
Engineering qualifications are pretty specific, and usually the term shouldn’t be used loosely if those qualifications aren’t there. Musk’s education ended at the Baccalaureate level, but crucially in Physics and Economics. He pushes himself as some kind of engineering mastermind, but it’s hard to pin down why.
Contrary to popular belief, he also is not a founder of Tesla.
Epic has flip-flopped and been anti-gamer enough times that they should fuck right off and no one should listen to anything they say.
PS- fuck off, Tim!
Laws like this are always a slippery slope. Wishing folks in the UK the best of luck trying to turn this around.
She’ll be remembered accordingly.
Same. I’ve never seen these. I suspect it’s a state to state thing.
This thinking is why the US will continue down their fascist path.
It’s hard because your heart is in the right place. We want the same things.
What you’re actually railing against is two-party politics. But unless you have some realistic, workable way around that, what you are doing is splitting the Blue vote and accepting Trumpers as the winner.
Your point isn’t worth the extra death youre causing with this naïve approach.
This is typical. Overload buzzwords like “communism” and “socialism” and people think they’re bad words without being able to describe why.
Yeah, fair. At least you’ll get fewer facepalms this way!
Be careful here… There will be a learning curve, and you may end up being the tech support person if you aren’t already.
Yeah that “speedrunning” shit is not autism. That’s just being an asshole. An autistic person would probably know the difference, which I guess is ironic.
Totally agree, and I’m also sad because iFixit otherwise has seemed to be pretty trustworthy. I’m definitely curious to see if some enthusiast out there has the new iFixit third party option to compare with the AliExpress one. I bet the label would be enough to determine if they’re the identical product.
Yeah, that’s the confusing bit. We’re told that the selected third party batteries are good quality, but I’m weary that they’re all just being made in the same factory.
And by that I don’t mean that I think the AliExpress battery is necessarily bad. I’m saying I think it’s the same, but ifixit has found a way to gouge by suggesting that their third party battery is different.
If I’m paying rent, I’ll be in the unit as often as I damn well please. Simple as.
I don’t have a problem with it being a Chinese EV. I wish the US would just allow them to be sold. But I don’t want one that siphons more money to Bezos.
