To be fair, German manufacturers aren’t much better with their trim packages or options for ICE vehicles 😅

Yes but it’s wasteful to put in slow chargers that will be dated in five years for some marginal savings. With infrastructure when you deploy it you want it to last as long as possible. 350+ kW charging should be the minimum at this point.

It’s important not to have a scarcity mindset with this stuff. We’ve already made leaps and bounds! No need to be stuck in old tech when cost is coming down and there’s more competition.

I agree that L2, in urban and multi family contexts especially, is critical, but I don’t see how it sucks the air out of the room. ~100kW charging units shouldn’t be made anymore. Economics and tech move on. 350 kW cabinets can provide slower kW while being future proof

It won’t be overnight but I can’t see why not. Utilities, transformers, and the grid evolve. Even if the peak usage is super demanding you can supplement with batteries to buffer.

It’s a technological showcase and not ready for scale yet but I don’t think it’s controversial to say we should be pushing the envelope of battery tech and DC charging speeds if EVs want to replace ICE vehicles. Consumers do demand it, regardless of how many *need* it.

Black Mirror predicted a lot of this. But AI For victim impact evidence? That’s wild and very concerning.

The dystopian frontier is not on our homes, or even in our phones, but in our auto cabins. Every manufacturer’s record of storing data is abysmal….

Mario kart and a few sets of extra joy cons/pro controllers will straight up bankrupt me

What about: “I went on a long road trip in an EV with good efficiency and charging in a highly developed suburban area. It’s here” 😄

Also anecdotally to the affording point: see the financed TRX’s and high-specced Silverados in red counties. If something becomes desirable people will find a way (however wise of unwise that may be)

We’re going to keep updating this data because a lot is changing… intuition suggests liking Musk will be a lot easier than giving up hydrocarbons…

If it gets Bubba to drive an electric car in Alabama maybe it’s all for the best? That’s my hopelessly optimistic hat. In reality Bubba will probably be running over children with FSD

Product differentiation with Mac Pro, which may get M4 Ultra
