It's known as "sh#t happens". I'm pretty sure when the ICE was developed, and refined oil was turned into gasoline, "sh#t happened". Until the bugs were worked out and people became more knowledgeable of the dangers. Was waaay before my time, but, still. Sooo with new tech., sh#t's bound to happen. Mac
I can tell you that during the 60's-80's in Ohio we had three of the largest power shovels in the worldand they were electric.
Look it up sometime because the technology was way ahead of its time.

Then came the Silver-Spade and the Big-Muskie.
They dwarfed the three shovels above.

Big Muskie - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
Myself, I'd want 900 mile range with no recharge, because that's what I get now with no refuel. Anything else is a huge move backwards, and a waste of my time. Open road travel for me is typically 600 to 850 miles a day with maybe 15 minutes in stops. I can do that easily now, and have mo desire to give it up because some electrotard bought into the myth . . . and is ramming it into everyone else. You know, either "One size fits none" or "One size fits all - poorly!"
Musk's idea is to create huge battery storage centers for power. This is one of the things they are looking to grow with his new ATX facility. Still not sure where he's going to get the power to store though, because I agree with what you've said above.
After watching the latest and geatest in whiz bang Car unveiling I can see why they cost so much and why the chip shortage has effected the making of these machines.
Chargepoint is nation wide, not just KC. Chargepoint is in the EV charging point business, so they are getting paid. The way this works is, they install the charge stations at stores, businesses, or locations they contract with. Evergy gets paid for the power, Chargepoint gets paid for the charger. The business they contract with is footing the bill. There is a tax incentive to it, but these places use it as incentive to draw customers to their business. It's marketing. It's a write off. It's not free. I think Biden latest plan, contributes a large portion to these EV charge stations, so the tax payer will be footing that bill.
How about "not made (mostly) in China? I looked at the VW ID4 on the dealer's lot, I think about 60% was made in China. That's a hard no...
In the real world I get paid handsomely because I get shit that's worth a couple million per job done.
Sure it does. But, my following distance is substantially different depending upon whether I am following or preparing to pass. There is no pre-defined following distance in the adaptive cruise control that is appropriate for "I'm about to pass your sunday driving ass..."
Yeah, that’s the point. If I want to pass on a 2 lane road, I need to be pretty close to the car in front of me- substantially closer than a ‘respectful’ following distance. However, on a 2 lane road, there may be considerable traffic in the opposing lane, and passing windows may be both narrow and fleeting. And, I may need to be in ‘passing position‘ for a while before the opportunity arises. But, the adaptive crusie will see someone doing 55 in a 70 and keep my vehicle well out passing position. And and, it does it subtly so that you barely notice you are following grandma on her way to nowhere until you‘re puttering right there behind her, 300 feet back. Even the closest following distance is too far back. Adaptive cruise sucks for those intermittent slow drivers on an otherwise open road. It is ok in traffic where everyone is getting slowed down and speeds are universally variable- except that it can leave holes large enough that others are constantly merging in front of you and you keep slipping further into oblivion. It is also great on open roads where you can grab a rabbit and follow them.Around here a lot of interstates are 2 lanes....so you end up just sitting in line until you get past the bottle neck. For passing, we just use the pedal on the right
Do not get distracted. When the wife and I married (decades ago), we both had a moderate-ish amount of debt. We decided it had to go. Buckled down for just over a year and we we're debt free. Other than mortgages (four at 16 years or less) we've been debt free since. Paid cash for our retirement home last year. Screw CC interest. They pay me to use their card.
Follow to close and you'll wake up as you see my brake lights light up for your ass being on it
Yeah, I get that. There is a sweet spot between 'tailgating' and 'following'- that's 'preparing to pass...'
DID YOU READ "SLAM" in my comment I said "SEE". If you've had an deer or elk come through a window, someeone following is in almost as much danger so I'll back you off for me I could care less about you

Tesla Shanghai is mainly producing cars for the Chinese and European car markets. That's until GigaBerlin comes online. Model 3 in the US mainly come from the California plant. Not sure yet if GigaTexas is going to be producing Model 3. I think it's going to be mainly the Cybertruck and Semi.BEIJING, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc's (TSLA.O) Shanghai factory is expected to produce 300,000 cars in the first nine months of the year, capped by a delivery rush in the end of the July-September quarter, despite a global semiconductor shortage, two sources said.

Yup. I got lucky and had a 5k over asking offer accepted. It was the 7th or 8th house I put an offer. What a shitshow we're in right now.
With proper programing you can actually turn traction control off. They "turn it off" but give you super slow throttle body speeds and things like that because 380hp is to much for most.
To be fair you were probably doing heep things. And everyone knows the 22RE runs without timing or even spark.
