There's nothing like having lots of money to be able to make more money. https://www.ctpublic.org/education/2019-05-15/georgetown-study-wealth-not-ability-the-biggest-predictor-of-future-success

I guess I am a little confused by your question. People will buy stuff. Sometimes it is made by robots. If it's stuff people want or need, they will buy it, regardless of who or what makes it.

Currently at a baby sized EV car show at a local library.

I've been to two this month here in Maine, to show off my CR1. I only wanted to go to this one because of the good company.

I am in Maine. 7 hour drive. So... Unless I skip sleep, it means driving tonight.

I wish I could go, but other stuff that I need to do today, so would not be able to drive over this afternoon. Have fun, though!

It senses torque on the wheel, not capacitive touch. If you are lightly holding the wheel but not putting in any torque at all, it will ask for hands on the wheel.

The problem with saying financial success is influenced by luck vs only skill and hard work... Neither is truly correct. Well, it might be, unless you are a woman. Or black. Or Hispanic. Or have a foreign accent. Or are LGBTQ. But that's the unpleasant part that people often prefer to gloss over.

How to explain privilege to people who refuse to see it...

Does that say... Year 2073?

Seeing as the Cost Of Living Adjustments that got sacrificed 15 years ago have not yet been reinstituted... Actually, their pay went down. "Adjusting for inflation, autoworkers have seen their average wages fall 19.3% since 2008." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-much-do-uaw-workers-make/

Um. Unbridled mode is when it's driving. It shouldn't make any difference which driving mode you use, when charging. It's not going to charge differently in different modes.

And the Mach-E is made by union labor. I think I would rather see more unions, at Tesla, and in factories around the world, rather than less.

I think union bosses are more likely to care about their workers' best interests than CEOs. The demands aren't out of line with what other unions have requested and gotten recently. Personally, I am rooting for a trickle-up economy. Pay auto workers enough to buy the cars they make. That...

At least Ford is trying to come to an agreement with the UAW, and is closer to an agreement than GM or Stellantis. I think Ford is going to be around a lot longer than Musk says, but it will be interesting to see if Tesla employees make future attempts to unionize based on how the negotiations...

Yup. My husband and I had a professional electrician run the wiring for our subpanel in our garage and wire our first EVSE. However, when we got a second EV and wanted to switch to a pair of Wallboxes that can do load balancing, he installed them himself, and the torque required is more than...

Um. Not an electrician here, but... Don't the wire connections need to be torqued to a certain amount to ensure good connection? Which yes, can be done by a non-electrician, assuming they have a torque wrench, but getting every connection just right is more important for an EVSE than most of the...

Did anyone have an actual passenger in the passenger seat try using it while the car was being driven?

Depends on how specific the OP is on what would be an acceptable replacement. CR1s seem more rare. Most dealerships have Premiums and GTs on the lot, and not many CR1s. I love my CR1, but if the wait for another is super long, fixing this one may still be fastest, unless a comparable extended...

I don't think that delaying pushing an update would save any money. They did have temporary layoffs, but only of employees that were essentially unable to work due to the strategic strikes. Temporary layoffs of the technical people who manage these software updates would likely cost more in...
