The star of 'Aladdin' says a defect in his Tesla Model 3 led to his car wreck, and it comes from a problem area the company has known about for years

Nah....that's just FUD.

It's top secret.

Raven mad?

Why are RMS values considered DC equivalent?

It means it's CARKED it. Cark ....cark....CARRRRRRK!

The issue here is that regen braking is disabled when the battery is low. No problem at all to have a heating element to dump the power so as to maintain regen braking AND warm the battery as a bonus.

Why would it need to be a POINT of contact? My old waterbed used to have a heater. It never boiled.

A resistive heating element. Simple.

In low temperatures 6 Kw would take at least 10 minutes to warm the battery up to a nice cosy temperature. ( SWAG*) Once that has happened the battery will be ready to take some more charge. *Scientific Wild Ass Guess

That sounds very sensible. Musk wouldn't be interested.

" And it's probably easier and cheaper in the long run to just dot the countryside with solar powered, Starlink backhauled cell towers than to equip all vehicles with starlink" How is that cheaper than simply having conventional 4G or 5G cell towers?

Why not? Just order a Pizza and save the dish.

Boring. ;)
