No wonder @duolingoverde.bsky.social is loosing money almost as fast as open AI. Two mistakes in one test. The contraction was treated as a typo, and the English construction for imperfect was ugly. In English there is no difference between perfect and imperfect for this phrase except for context.

This is what bugs me most about abrp. In the middle of a charge, it tells me my plan is not viable any more. I have live ODB2 data connected, it knows I am changing at 100kW. I'd like it to tell me how long my charge will last, not whinge.

Classic gaslighting from ChatGTP. Which I think is the same concept described here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqJn... I found the discussion rather superficial and anthropomorphised, but I think I'm starting to understand some of the risk.

Hire car was 'upgraded' to an Astra hybrid, which complained it's not been changed for 50 days. So took it home and gave it some electrons. Granny cable is still bag fresh - I thought they had rented it without cables!

Interesting. Tesla pricing at an open rapid charger. (Except 65p during a 2 hour peak period). Publicly advertised dynamic pricing. No Tesla branding, but it is on the in car mapping as a supercharger.
