Appears it was all just a dream :shock:

Personal perceptions of how many of a vehicle are on the road is troubling. As another example, I see another Tesla virtually every time I go out. However, that is mainly because I am looking for EVs on the road. I am sure I have passed scores of F-150s for every EV I see, however I really...

I agree sales data such as you describe is less than useful. Most sales data I see is broken down by manufacturer, some by model. Most exclude NEVs all together. Any data source that lumps together NEVs with highway legal vehicles is not one I would trust.

That info is very easy to get in Minnesota. I guess that varies largely state to state. I’m not sure how up to date this info is. Frankly, I feel sales are far more important that total registrations. Sales give you a better idea of where we are going. Registrations give you a picture of...

A very detailed look at hydrogen and where it Is, and isn’t a clear winner. https://about.bnef.com/blog/liebreich-separating-hype-from-hydrogen-part-two-the-demand-side/?fbclid=IwAR0ZkcxAcc9u9WFRc6TyUkh3qfU_VkfsP_z9bq5ptw3-KwhfZ1LzOnWk67M

So the next question is, how many trees cleared, steel, concrete and other materials used when creating other power generation methods? Then add to that the energy that goes into mining the fuel for the energy generation. And then the storage of waste materials.

I also agree with the judge, but not the misleading headlines. The driver was suspended, for crashing his car. The driver was distracted he says, by trying to adjust windshield wipers. As for “drilling down” the wiper controls pop up to the top when the wiper is activated from the left stalk.

Bingo!

I think that is unlikely. More likely is ICE manufacturers will fail because of lack of demand for ICE vehicles, not EVs. So far, EVs have taken about 2% of the market. This number is growing. Traditional manufacturers have to be ready for the switch. I don’t know if the switch will be in 2...

I love his stylized writing. My favorite phrase may be where he refers to the Model Y as “...little dreadnought of innovation”. My wife just picked hers up yesterday. She absolutely loves it. Sits up a little higher, easier to get in and out. I am really looking forward to seeing how...

I agree about Monopolies. Your definition is faulty. Tesla worked with the group that made the J1772 standard. They made certain proposals that were dismissed. They didn't like the standard, so they made some adjustments which allow for a more functional and useful connector. They then...

I said nothing about "morally wrong". However, I don't think there is anything wrong with any company making adapters to allow their customers to use AND PAY for use of a generic charger. For example, some Nissan dealers didn't allow anyone but their customers to use their DC fast charging. I...

No, I don’t think they can. I definitely don’t think they should, even if they could. The other car companies were given the chance to join in, they didn’t. End of story.

Carlos will be interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning in the next few minutes.

Did you read the full article? They first used a spectrometer to test the air above potential sites. They then visited some sites on the ground. They used a specialized camera with a metal lens to make the plumes visible. While the camera shows a number of materials, the spectrometer would...
