Electric cars aren't quite the latter, but they aren't the model t either.
Tesla Models 3 and Y are being manufactured at Model T rates today. And they're still able to sell every single one they produce with 20%+ margins.
Other companies need to get to that level of manufacturing commitment.
I've got a 2018 North-American car which is pretty common. Turn on/off heated seats? Three touches, minimum.
It's funny that you mention heated seats. To turn on the heated seats on my Hyundai Ioniq 5, I first have to hit the "Warmer" capacitive control (not a real button) located below the screen, then aim my finger at a particular part of the touchscreen "slider" control to get the amount of heat I wanted. It's strange that they didn't dedicate a button for such a feature that I'm always using.
For my Tesla, I had the heated seat control available at all times on the bottom row of my screen. One press, or more than one press on the same button to change the amount of heat. Much easier, even though it was on the touchscreen.

If all you need is a browser to access the internet, consider installing ChromeOS Flex on it. This will once again provide the machine with regular security updates. After years of dealing with my parents and in-laws somehow ending up with infections on their PCs, I finally switched them all to ChromeOS devices and haven't had a single such instance since doing so.
You can contribute to an IRA with those other contributions, but the contributions to the IRA won't be tax deductible like they normally would be.
It may not be tax deductible when you contribute in that scenario, but that's not the whole story.
So it acts like a half-traditional, half-Roth IRA in that scenario.
"Tesla has not commented in response to the firings...
It's amazing that the Guardian article you quoted simply... lied.
That article was written on Feb 17.
Tesla responded on Feb 16.
In Response to False Allegations
There is a false allegation that Tesla terminated employees in response to a new union campaign. These are the facts behind the event:
Our employees in Buffalo are core to our mission of accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy, helping to build Superchargers, Solar Roof and power electronics for many applications.
If the government were to require such an interface, it wouldn't be too terribly difficult for Tesla to duct-tape an ipad with a credit card reader somewhere on-site to satisfy the whingy EV owners who can't be bothered to install yet another app.
They will compete with slower growing trees and eventually replace them; thus becoming an invasive specie.
These trees are all female so that they don't release pollen to fertilize other trees.
These trees are all grown on private land, so they don't compete with trees in natural forests.
This isn't someone's pet anaconda that gets loose and procreates, or even a fast-growing pest plant like kudzu. These trees still take 30 years to mature. They will be easy to track and control.
As they grow faster, they will use more water and nutrients, drawn more quickly from soil and air, for their growth.
Perhaps. But these are on private land that will be set aside specifically for this purpose. These will be grown as "crops" to be harvested and re-planted. This is agriculture rather than reforestation. So they'll be fertilized and watered as necessary.
Faster tree growth means less wood density and greater fire susceptibility.
This is complete conjecture. There's no reason to believe that these trees are any more susceptible to fire than natural trees.
Tesla will no longer be the leader in EV by 2024 or sooner, according to numerous industry analysts.
The "industry analysts" have been saying that Tesla would lose its lead within two years since 2012.
So maybe perhaps what Google needs to do is stop the silly 2+1 year support and offer ongoing support for their phones and encourage their partners to do the same.
Pixel 6 and later phones will get security updates for at least 5 years.
I could be wrong but I think the more unprecedented part is that matter came back after crossing the event horizon.
Dude, it's RIGHT THERE in the summary:
"There's a point when you get too close to a black hole that you can no longer escape the black hole — that's called the event horizon. But this material never crossed that boundary, according to our best estimates," Cendes explains. In other words, the star got close enough to the black hole to get shredded — but not to fall into that point of no return.
Does it not rain in your world?
And why compare with a dodge charger again? There are cars for people who aren't idiots and they are all lighter and go farther for a 1/5th of the price.
Because this is an article about a new, electric Dodge Charger.
I know Slashdotters generally don't read the articles. And some don't bother to read the summary. But you should at LEAST try to read the titles.

Wow, so many anti-EV arguments that would have been valid 10 years ago, but no longer are. Keep up with the times, grandpa.
...batteries which weigh and take up roughly 2-5 times what a gas tank does...
You're forgetting that an electric motor weighs 5 times less than a combustion engine. It's pretty much a wash nowadays.
Dodge Charger SRT Jailbreak weight: 4,586 lbs.
Tesla Model S Long Range weight: 4,561 lbs
...take 10 times longer to recharge
First, nowhere near that long.
Second, that only matters on long road trips. In daily driving, an EV requires no gas station visits - just plug in at home every night and wake up to a full tank every morning.
...for about half the range...
Dodge Charger SRT Jailbreak range: 222.0 mi. city, 388.5 mi. highway
Tesla Model S Long Range range: 405 mi.
... at more than twice the cost...
Dodge Charger SRT Jailbreak price: $102,550
Tesla Model S Long Range price: $109,490
And don't forget the performance:
Dodge Charger SRT Jailbreak: 0-60 in 3.5s, quarter mile: 10.96s
Tesla Model S Long Range: 0-60 in 3.1s, quarter mile: 10.87s
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
