I’ve been spending a lot of time on Reddit. I thought the question was about DRS. Sorry for the confusion

Ford CEO. Doofus. $5k more for Prius with HOV sticker was not for the 5 minutes he saved via the commute lane. That’s not the ’cost’ of five minutes. You can’t just linearly extrapolate that value for 45 minutes for another commuter. Ugh.
Monroe. Bewitching?. Cow towing to the ‘Built Ford Tough’ nonsense. I’ve had 3 Fords. Fine vehicles. But tough is not an apt adjective. Ugh again.
Linda. BSing. Paraphrasing. “My kids don’t know what to when the truck leaves the house. It’s so much part of the family now.” Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
Kool Aid anyone?

Well George was just born today so let’s see how all these prediction pan out with Tesla taking the Rosie character first with the Bot and then flying cars in the future
Eh.
Munro has been critical of Ford in the past. He got some high profile access from Ford and he’s not pissing on that opportunity.
He needs to drink the Kool Aid a bit when he gets special guests. So long as he’s objective the rest of the time doesn’t bother me.
Personally, the whole Cult of Munro & silly over-commercialization of his channel bother me a lot more.

I know someone must have done this calculation, but I've given up my quest to find it. Given the present Tesla model delivery rates and matching reservation backlogs, has anyone calculated the existing number of reservations by model? I assume that cancellation rates of reservations must be factored in too.
I get his opportunity. Didn't Sandy used to work for Ford at one time? So there's history and respect there. Obviously they couldn't get into some wide open potholes, so likely agreements were made, it's all good. It was definitely several notches above GM interviews I've seen.

Jim Farley sure knows how to butter up ol' Sandy Munro! Sandy was falling all over himself!

I kinda liked the idea of a 3:1 now and another 2:1 before the end of the year. A double-whammy on the shortsters.
Toyota's first EV.
Whompy wheels are a thing.

Toyota warned owners of BZ4X electric SUVs to stop driving them because the wheels might fall off. The SUVs only recently went on sale in the United States and the warning and recall announced by Toyota Motor Sales USA on Thursday applies to all approximately 260 BZ4X SUVs that have been delivered to customers so far.

Those estimates are kind of missing two giant factories, one of which is like a mile long.
So they are misleading in the short run and are getting more and more so each week.
Has anyone let the wonky wheels guy know about this? He was just a few years ahead of his time and the wrong "T" auto company.Toyota's first EV.

It's been posted before but I'll add anyway that it affects Subaru too since they are partners in this steaming pile. It's using a rudimentary battery with mildly passable charging curve to abysmal charging curve. What an awesome product. Oh with regards to Subaru's, they didn't even deliver one vehicle before recalling them all lol.Toyota's first EV.

I believe Elon is correct.Seems like Jaguar I-Pace also having cars spontaneously ignite due to LG pouch cells.
Jaguar I-Pace catches on fire again – is this another Bolt EV battery fire situation?
Another Jaguar I-Pace battery caught on fire without any crash after simply sitting charging in a garage. This is the...electrek.co
I also question the sanity of this customer.
Getting into a car that is catching on fire to move it down the driveway is quite bold!
I love that he called Jaguar before calling 911
Toyota heard about the new airless tires and decided to go a couple steps further.Toyota's first EV.

Airless tires? No we need more.
Rubberless tires? Gotta do better
Tireless tires? MOAR!
Wheel-less tires? … perfect!
Apparently there is now a screen in the Tesla app for charging cars other than Teslas... this is I believe in the US. Preliminary step towards adding non Teslas to the Supercharger Network.

Apparently all kinds of interesting charger related stuff in this release.
Going to be all kinds of interesting if you can set up destination chargers with fees. Seems like a nice fit for AirBNBs and hotels.
EDIT: More details from Tesla here. Apparently this is a little different from Destination Chargers, but you can get them listed on their web site. You have to set up at least half a dozen chargers. (screen cap attached)

So the commercial charge operator buys 6 to 12 wall chargers @ $400 ea. Organises everything and provides the energy. Presumably buys kWh for less than sale price to car owner, especially if they install PV from somebody (Tesla maybe).
The missing detail, important to shareholders, is do Tesla pass on every cent to the site operator, or do they take a reasonable 10% cut?
This will be great for workplace charging. More cars charging while the sun is up. Opens EVs to employees living with no assigned parking.
Also great for road trippers, able to have certainty of $/kWh rate and compatibility prior to booking accomm. Well done Tesla.
