NEVI is not necessarily bad - I would say if your statement is correct then Oregon’s implementation is poor. If Alaska with about 2000 EV’s can build 9 sites than Oregon certainly has no excuse!
oregon has an ODOT problem. we have site selection pretty much done but ODOT decided 2+ years into the process to implement a completely new contracting process.
With people like Musk you win some you lose some. It's the nature of business. And then there are those who will never have anything even close to what Musk has and will never do anything close to what he has done, win or lose. But you can bet those same people will be on the internet pointing out what they think is wrong/bad.
If they are successful with the maintain-operate aspect then the wait will be worthwhile!
You’d not notice. That would be about 0.0035% of their USA employees.
One of the few DCFC manufacturers that qualifies for NEVI stations because of its Tennessee plant, Tritium DCFC Ltd., went into receivership in its headquarters country (Australia). That may be a reason. Hawaii has 2 NEVI stations on line with the third quite close to opening. The other 6 or 7 stations are on hold now due to the receivership.
Agree, the best charger I have is in my garage.
Well, until they start installing cameras that can actually see as the human eye is generally understood to see, I don’t see this setup ever getting coming close to replicating how well we see, understand and judge the world and circumstances around us.I have seen a good amount of people surmise that as well, but I don't really agree (don't worry, that's OK we can disagree and still be friends!). Their vision-only approach is basically make-it-or-break it. I'm definitely not an expert, just a keyboard warrior, but it seems like people in the industry believe that cheaper Lidar is the only real way forward for a competent self-driving system. And, again being the non-expert in the room but having at least some common sense, I would agree.
Elon's argument is that humans navigate with only eyes and a brain so cars can too. I mean, I guess so but in the U.S. something like 30 thousand people die per year in car accidents so maybe not the best system? Oh well, like I said what do I know. Maybe it's not the fault of vision but of the brain
This actually should happen.
surely they're contractually obligated and couldn't just stop service, they could refuse to renew contracts but we don't even know the terms of the contract between ford and others and tesla.
Elon's very real and self-destructive character flaws may be triggered by politics but aren't political in and of themselves.
