I agree, it’s a step beyond the little sticker on the back of the car.

I’d do the same if I had one but pedoguygate switched me off the brand and it’s never been the direction that I wanted to see EVs go (look I have a button that makes the car/range go down really fast. I also don’t think talk of range without reference to battery size is helpful)

Just started using my 2006 SanDisk equivelant of this, I feel attacked lol

Range doesn’t capture the concept of efficiency.that Op was getting at

It needs defining as kw per 100km or miles per kw, but then neither can be summed in a single word

Also, surely this device is no different to a phone in that neither is meant to be listening indiscriminately. There’s a chance a 9 year old has a phone nowadays I’d imagine

I think they mean morally on the part of the student

In the UK, the take up of smart meters for electric and gas has been slow due go concerns that this would enable companies to do the same.

It’s not a bad argument (haven’t paid, turn it off) but then if you’re struggling financially is it better not to be allowed to rack up further debt anyway?

As I wash out the plastic yougurt pots, that’s what gets me the most. We’re fucked and it’s not Mrs Smith at number 47 using plastic straws that’s causing this

Brave to assume it would make that distance drive, better hope there’s no slight incline as that would invalidate the warranty

So somewhere inbetween as the article says “more than 10,000 units” and “$800m” so they appear to be valuing them at ~$80k/unit which is ridiculously optimistic.

My guess is closer to 1/3rd of that value but nobody likes to lose half a billion in the blink of an eye

Oh, and the basic - don’t carry your cell phone/smart watch regardless of whether it’s switched off

I think the phrase is “I couldn’t care less”.

I’m genuinely so excited to have actually encountered one in the wild. That is, someone that is trying to claim that Elon didn’t sieg heil multiple times. Fascinating, they said people would but I just didn’t believe them
