With opening up of the Tesla charging to other brands, the rally is now called the Southern Utah All Vehicles Electric rally.

In 2025, we expect Bryce Canyon City will have DCFC, making reservations no longer necessary to participate in the rally.
Each October, Tesla Owners Utah will host the Southern Utah Tesla Rally, an electric car rally on one of the most beautiful roads in America, Utah Highway 12.

It’s worth thinking about how many people cast a protest vote or stayed home in 2016 thinking that they were sending some kind of message to the Democratic Party Establishment in the belief that Donald Trump couldn’t possibly win.

Boy was that effective.

On the back of my envelope, I find that the waste heat of fossil fuel from converting heat to work, or not using a heat pump instead of fossil fuels, amounts to about a half watt per square meter on earths surface.

This is a violation of the constitution.

Congress determines how to spend money. The executive must spend it.
NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

Elon is a classic example of being "Nazi-Adjacent". Doesn't consider himself personally as a Nazi and doesn't want to be seen as one, but also couldn't care less if he helps Nazis, and thinks that anyone who actually cares is a hyperbolic idiot. He's like what happens if you give a 4chan'er $433B.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.
