Robots capable of advanced manipulation could eventually take on many simple jobs that are still done by hand.
Just think with this advancement Walowitz would never have had to go to the ER.
Owning a business does not imbue the owner(s) with the rights of feudal lords.
Small business owners, no of course not. Same with large business owners. They are more like dukes or princes, squashing the unwashed masses beneath their corporate stallions.
You are right. In some communities, it will be used to deny service to whites.
Sure but that's not racist.

Discussions egarding smart grid applications include using automotive battery packs connected to the grid for temporary energy storage, and as emergency power supplies when power is unavailable. There is also considerable discussion in the industry regarding repurposing used or refurbished automotive battery packs for stationary applications such as home level power storage once the packs are no longer suitable for use in vehicles.70 It remains to be seen whether refurbishment of packs will be practical or economical,71 as cells must generally be well matched to provide good performance in battery packs, and aged cells are particularly difficult to match effectively. In addition, for refurbished pack safety, the issue of determining when a cell should be retired will need to be resolved.
tl;dr leading industry experts say the same thing I'm saying. Feel free to cite some actual facts here, say from well cited industry leading experts. Because using burnt out lithium batteries to power your grid is more of a pr stunt than actual economics.
Tesla packs highly resistant to "failing internally". Each brick is made of dozens of cells wired in parallel. It's irrelevant if a handful of cells totally die.
The li-ion charge retention curve is usually an exponential decay. The lower the capacity of the cell gets, the slower further degradation goes. Now, in many electronic devices, it doesn't seem this way because the device is designed for a particular operational voltage range, and when the pack gets below that voltage it's totally useless. But a large-scale system engineered to use old packs and thus designed for greater voltage flexibility is not bound by this constraint.

You are just not well informed. I'm open to any sources you may be aware of because the facts are buried under political bs.
Too bad so many of these cheap chargers will crank your 16850s to 4.2 volts.
Nominal voltage is the average voltage over discharge. Often this range is 3-4.2V. Cheap chargers are extremely dangerous as even 4.25V can be hard on cells and anything much over 4.4 is at a greatly increased risk of thermal runaway.
yes i googled this ev post vehicle nonsense and all i found were feel good political bs and almost no detail or facts or evidence.
You were expecting their business plan?
i was expecting some facts. Perhaps some data. I guess facts are too much to ask.
They would be better off simply reprocessing the materials and starting over.
That might be true. Citation?

tl;dr leading industry experts have the exact same concern for the viability as I have mentioned.
