My house is around 100 eet long and the main circuit box is on the other side from the garage in the basement. Cables cannot be run through the basement ceiling, so they have to run a shielded cable around the outside of the house and into the garage. Apparently a 250 foot shielded copper cable runs around $2000. I fill my tank around once every two weeks at 90 a fill. Comes out to 45 weeks now that I do it again.

I block off large swaths of my time a month ahead of time to fight it. I get more meetings booked at the times that I want them and a lot of the people who double book listen to me when I tell them they double booked me. It was actually my manager that gave me this tip.

PHEVs are advertised as 80% efficient but in the real world people never charge them and they really only save about 20%.

It would cost me 48 weeks of gas just for the cable to run to my garage to charge an EV.

Norway can only make it work because of that oil. They sell it to a country who burns it and then they buy more chargers and buy off their citizens to use an EV while claiming they are still green. Even though the oil that they sold is doing more damage globally than the EVs their citizens are buying are helping.

They are using those oil reserves to basically buy everyone off into using EVs. That doesn't make them green, it just means they are pushing pollution into other countries.

People really think that there will be enough able to travel in enough places more safely, which isn't even proven. They haven't even diven in winter yet on a clear day, never mind a blizzard. With snow clearing equipment. This is the environment where 2/3 more accidents happen. Driving in clear dry conditions doesn't improve much safety overall because that's not where the most accidents happen

That's exactly WHY Tesla made the stipulation in the first place.

What ever the punishment is, it should be multiplied by the number of cars on the road since they could all potentially do the same thing.

I don't do evidence because I'm not trained to be a scientist. People train for years learning how to do that. It would be highly egotistical of me to think I knew anything about science.

The really funny thing is that you are the one who is faithful. You have absolute faith in your perception of the world without knowing whether it is right or wrong. It's exactly the kind of thinking that creates religions and cults.

How am I being 'failthful'? Science was created precisely because observation of reality proved to be wrong, again and again. If science had not come along, we would still think everything revolved around the earth. You are justifying an age of tyrannical leaders and when religion had the most control over people.

One bad human driver is one bad driver. If an automated vehicle makes a mistake, multiply it by the number of cars in an entire fleet.

They should be issued a ticket for every car on the road, since they are essentially all the same driver and would do the same thing.

In another article I had a conversation about what 'intent' means. They were trying to defend self driving companies and sent me the legal definition of intent (to injure). As it turns out, a self driving company that releases 80% tested driving code and not knowing entirely what it will do in real situation completely falls under the definition of intent of someone is injured.
