You got all that for free?

I would say that if you could find a "Supermodels Who Love Environmentalists" convention, that would be the best place to drive an EV to.

Pre-heating is heating up the interior while it is still charging, so as to use less charge for heating once you depart. Heating takes a lot of energy and drains the battery faster, as I understand even more than cooling.

Of course, gas vehicles can be pre-heated as well, you just start them up a bit before you depart ( but you don't want to do that in a closed garage!)

The North Korean hackers will love this. Since they can't wash their own cars, they can wash ours.

And if there were no developed nations or rich people, we would more likely have new treatments?

Is castration considered to be violent?

The standard is from 1987, it is right in the title "ANSI IEEE-762-1987". You again show ignorance, now ignorant on how standards are revised, again proving your contentions about your experience are false, that is why I won't be reading any more of your bullshit. You should stop making a fool of yourself.

Two of your ignorant quotes;

Capacity Factor is a standard industry measure that has been used for quite some time. Here is an ANSI/IEEE standard from way back in 1987 which clearly defines Capacity Factor under Performance Indexes. You cannot deny this unless you are an utter fool.

Unfortunately, you will still deny it, and continue with your willful ignorance. For that reason I will no longer read any of your replies, but I might just keep reminding you of your ignorant contention.

Well, here is your statment, your words;

I proved this to be a statement of ignorance. You then felt compelled to backpedal and shift the discussion to other performance measures. There are many performance measures, and they have their uses. They are tools. You don't say "a wrench is useless because it can't drive a screw". But that is they type of argumentative logic you are trying to pass off, and that is why I largely ignore it. I know perfectly well there are a variety of performance measures and tools. You can pine away at them all day, and I can add more.

But, back to the whole point of your original contention, it was simply ignorant, case closed.

How about automating the package delivery from truck to driver? I see the driver go back a get a package after he stops, that often takes as long longer than bringing it to my doorstep. If the truck pulled up the parcel for the driver as he approached the house, he could save quite a bit of time.

Don't they fly themselves by definition? (jk)

You have a good point about setup. Seems that they would need a programmed drop spot for each house. I suppose over time they would have the route & drop data for all repeat customers, but the time to setup time for each house would likely required more time to complete than the first few manual deliveries.

Just drop a drone bone, and the dogs will leave the drone alone.
