Odds are if you really push it just sounds an obnoxious alarm while letting you out. Kind of like pushing against the gates at my walmart to go out the entrance area rather than the checkouts.
I just give zero hoots and do it anyways.
With a president who solves an existential threat by finding the best expert he can find, and using his own formidable political skills and charisma to run interference for that expert.
Seriously, Comacho was a meathead, but Iâ(TM)d vote for him.
I guess if they actually started making medium format sized sensors (ie the size of MF film) or larger then it might work...but those would be insanely expensive.
The new stuff they're releasing for motion pictures without the old remjet backing that had to be "washed off" before processing sounds exciting....and would make life easier for those developing at home with either C41 or ECN-2.
Hell, really make me happy and start selling a version of the Vision3 films in 120 medium format and PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY.
I'd argue that it is still a factor.
Not a lot of convertibles in Alaska.
And there are vehicles up there that, despite being all ICE, that work better or worse to the point that yes, it is an issue.
Then keep in mind that we're still effectively with the "first year" models. Odds are the underperforming companies will fix their performance sooner or later, or get outcompeted by those that do.
With everything going on with air traffic based issues since Trump started destroying the FAA and all other government agencies
What are you talking about ? If the Dems in the senate...as few as 5 of them would vote to pass the CLEAN Continuing Resolution, the govt would open and things would go to normal.....
This is the same CR that they have all voted on numerous times.....it isn't Trumps fault here, it's the Dems holding the US hostage here...
the ends do not justify the illegal and unconstitutional means.
Exactly what illegal and unconstitutional means do you propose are happening exactly?
Real world testing gives a wide variety of range reduction in cold weather, depending on the make and model of EV. Some are really good at maintaining range, some are lousy at it.
In any case, preheating the cabin and battery cuts that substantially, and you generally don't need to keep warming the battery while driving as the regular discharge and charging from regenerative braking keeps the battery at operating temperature to limit range loss.
It's a contribution, but it isn't something like 30% is what he's getting at. More likely ~5%.
That doesn't change that if you're looking at comparative advantage - most CO2 saved for a given amount of battery, for example, delivery vans are an obvious pick before the EV freight trucks.
Though even with the freight trucks, one could concentrate on local delivery routes before longer haul ones to maximize savings.
The EV infrastructure does that now, so what exactly is your point?
Actually for most of the US this simply is NOT the case regarding EV infrastructure...
China is not communist, even if it refers to itself as communist. It's not neoliberal, either. China has a strong private sector with strong individual initiative. It was communist, but that started to change in 1978. China is a one-party state.
China is, however....our enemy.
We'd be well served to NOT become any more dependent upon them than we already are....
You can go away from home without planning or stress about where you need to charge or how long it will take - most daily journeys are much shorter than the range of typical EVs. So it's more about how willing people are to be subservient to those who have told them to think of it as sacrificing freedom.
Most people also do not stay at home 365 a year...they travel...for vacations, work, holidays, etc.
Currently they have ICE vehicles and supporting infrastructure that supports both, without the consumer having to even think of planning...
The same cannot be said for an EV....and most folks don't wanna lay out heavy cash for a one trick pony.
Till the EV and infrastructure can support the casual ease of the ICE experience....it just ain't gonna happen.
Hell, even for those daily short trips you promote...a very significant portion of the US population has no viable way to charge at home overnight which completely kills getting an EV.
If 99% of householders *also* didn't park on their driveway, perhaps you'd have a point. But most people with a driveway and a car do in fact park on their driveway, so you don't have a point.
Lots of folks out there renting those houses with driveways you speak of....
Landlords tend to take a negative attitude of tenants tearing things up and installing stuff on the house....not to mention, tenants aren't too happy to pay to install hardware, etc...that they have to leave behind when they move.....
...if SUVs were not an obsession.
Hey, people want what they want and it's a free country.
I personally can't stand SUVs or big pickup trucks , but Im free not to buy them and others can if they like.
