No fair! How come we don’t get a quick eject button?!This is what happens when you don't have a structural battery:
Battery pack ejected from Audi e-tron during crash in Richmond, BC
A violent high-speed crash in Richmond, British Columbia between an Audi e-tron and a Toyota sedan resulted in the battery pack of the e-tron being ejected from the vehicle. The force of the collision sent […]driveteslacanada.ca
However, the most interesting thing about this story is the mainstream media's coverage of it as noted by DriveTeslaCanada:
I don't think it has anything to do with a structural battery pack. We haven't seen any ejected packs on the Model S, X, 3, or Y that don't have a structural pack, even when they are in a similar accident.

We leave the thermostat at 65 24/7 as I had previous experience with heat pumps and it takes forever to change temperature a significant amount. Rapid heating is the advantage of gas/oil burners. And if you are pushing the temp up and it is near or below freezing you are going to force on backup heating which is usually elements which is extremely costly. Better to find an ambient temp you can live with and leave it there and put on a sweater. We have a Nest thermostat for over a decade so were use to raising temp during the day and lowering at night, but even with oil heat we kept it low so for us going anywhere that is 70+ is uncomfortable.
My theory: too many people decided to retire early.
The pandemic drove these Americans into early retirement. What to know before making the leap
The pandemic may have tipped many older workers into early retirement. Still, many retirees lack the necessary savings or income. Experts cover what to know.
. @Isweartogodisweartogodisweartogod I will take some profits this time.I'm technically retired too, though do self-employ purposefully. It took 1-2 years to figure it out.That is my goal and that's why I have TSLA
I've found it best to set one temperature and leave it. Otherwise the ramps use a lot of energy that you don't make back during the ramped down period.
Look at this from another angle. This is MSM's tacit way of saying nobody cares about non-Tesla EVs.This is what happens when you don't have a structural battery:

However, the most interesting thing about this story is the mainstream media's coverage of it as noted by DriveTeslaCanada:
An interesting side note to this accident is how it is being covered by mainstream media, which shows their inherent bias against Tesla. A review of headlines reveals none of the coverage so far mention Audi by name, and instead use the word “EV” to reference the battery pack being ejected from the car. Although we can never be certain, we are pretty sure that if a Tesla was involved that would be included in all of the headlines.
Please this is obviously Audi’s battery swap program in action. Innovative approach!This is what happens when you don't have a structural battery:

However, the most interesting thing about this story is the mainstream media's coverage of it as noted by DriveTeslaCanada:
Also remember that all that battery weight in the bottom of the vehicle helps prevent it from flipping or going airbourne. If you watch the video, it appears once the pack leaves the vehicle, it shoots upward and almost flips!
Did anyone else listen to this? I had it on in the background and I think the main points were
for all that, plus it should heat water too.
