If they overpower the humanity trying to stop them from doing those things, yes.

Larger battery is still massively expensive if the goal is occasional towing. The increased energy demand for towing today makes it less a question of expense and more one of being able to make the trip. One idea I've had is placing extra batteries I the trailer.
Right now batteries are still expensive and production limited. A hybrid actually conserves more gasoline and oil for a given amount of battery.
Same deal with Semis, really, get the in city daily drivers where stop and go traffic gives them the best competitive advantage over diesel. As familiarity spreads and people accept them for longer range operations, just keep expanding.

I've read of games doing this, and other things.
1. Cheaters get lag. 500ms ping equivalents make things hard.
2. Cheaters get banished to cheater specific servers, all the cheaters get to play other Cheaters
3. Public execution and account deletion.

Maybe we'll finally see a return to real film. I'll dig up my ole, trusty 500C/M from the basement just in case.

I dunno about you, but I still scan my film negatives out of my Hasselbland 500 CM.....so even with shooting on film, it ends up on the computer in the end....

Ah, another difference in language use. I forgot to specify 'pickup trucks', which are the vehicles with an attached open bed. Overwhelmingly owned by private citizens in the USA.
They are mostly used just like cars here, though online they all insist they're towing a trailer off road 2000 miles every weekend, that is why they need a 'truck'.
The extra power demand for fast charging the larger beast, demand for towing range, and tremote operation means hybrid is the best option at the moment. Or at least should be a common option.
Trucking businesses would be operating 'semis', which have the boot in back to take a trailer.
Making them EV is complicated because the size means fast charging is a huge power draw, the infrastructure is not there. So EV for the in-city daily shorthaul stuff, where it is parked in the same lot every night. Long haul can stay diesel for nonaval.
Self driving might change stuff up more.

So, what would be wrong with an actor or actress selling their scanned image WITH contractual obligations to be PAID whenever the image was used in a film or when used as source to generate a new digital actor?

Wouldn't continuing pay and residuals help make the argument here?

At the very least, being an attractive nuisance, where even if the initial ad placement is legal, it serves illegal content enough to be a problem.

The problem with this is that google is often the alternative and can be just as bad.
There's a documented case out there where during COVID, when doctor's offices were mostly shut down, where the parents ended up taking a picture of the baby's rash (yes, in that area), and emailing it to the doctor's office.

Somehow Google's automated child porn detection systems flagged this, it was reported to the police who opened an investigation, then closed the file when it was realized that: 1. It was sent to a pediatrician office, 2. Yes, baby had a rash, 3. It was COVID, so office working remotely. This worked long enough for the family to get the appropriate cream for the baby, but google also closed down the man's accounts and marked him as a nasty banned pedophile.
I never did hear if he got that resolved.

Very much not in the USA confirmed.

Okay, 50% of the battery is sort of true - though 60-70% can be standard. Charging doesn't typically slow because you've charged the battery 50% of it's capacity, it is because charging slows at around 80% total charge, depending on exact chemistry. IE it slows not after charging 50% in a single session, but upon reaching ~80% full.

10% to 80% is going to take longer than from 10% to 50%, but it will still be fast. It's just that that extra 30% isn't going to allow skipping the next charging station, so why bother?

As such, only needing 50% more charging sessions, is still possible. By math it'd actually be closer to 30%.

Now, if you look at an unladed truck with 500 miles range vs a 300 mile EV, that's where you start needing to stop a lot more often, but again, remember I'm advocating trucks be hybrids and cars going EV first.

Many U.S. states have "right-to-charge" laws, but they only apply if you have a private parking space, not street parking. Choosing an apartment with a private parking space is a good idea anyway.

Most normal apartment competexes I've ever seen in the US do NOT have private or assigned parking spots....they are all big parking lots with first come, first serve....

On long trips abroad, EVs need to charge about three times more often, but you just plug in, go to the restroom or restaurant, and then unplug. With a petrol car, you stand at a smelly pump for five-plus minutes filling the tank, and then stand in a queue to pay

I"m guessing you're not familiar with how it works in the US.

I can't rambler last time (decades ago) that I paid for gas inside....everyone pays at the pump with a credit card.

And on a long trip....or say a mildly long trip of 400 or so miles. I stop half way for about 5-10 minutes total to gas up and hit the restroom.

Most of the time that is my ONLY stop....I want to get to my destination I'm not out to hang out at truck stops, pee, leisurely eat or drink while recharging a car....

At most I might pull off and pee one other time on that trip but that's only 5 minutes max.....

I've never met people like you EV'ers that seem to just stop 4 or so times on a trip and spend 30-45 minutes to lounge around, rest, eat, refuel....when I'm on the road...I'm trying to make the BEST time I possibly can at all times.....I'm all about the destination, not the journey....

Your mentioning having slow chargers at destinations, such as offices, is actually a potential solution to apartments being slow about installing charging capacity, or being too expensive about it.
Have people charge at work, not home, in such cases.
The workplace will probably want reasonable rates, many already cover parking for their employees, and with solar power ever expanding, daytime power might actually become cheaper than nighttime.
For areas with actual parking lots, imagine covering the lot with solar panels. Help keep cars cool and clean, not snow covered, etc... While charging them up.
Might not work as well in the extreme north, but not all of the USA is that far north.

I don't remember the last time I visited a gas station in the United States that didn't have pay at the pump available. I'm sure there are some janky stations out there, but not many.

Plus, at least in the USA, refueling one of our 300 mile ranged EVs is only maybe 50% more often than a gasoline vehicle - you don't want to go under 10% in a gasoline vehicle anyways, but while full is not a problem with ICE, with an EV you probably want to stick to around 80% most of the time to avoid the charging slowdown (upcoming tech may change this). 30% is probably closer. IE if you need to fill up 10 times with an ICE vehicle on a trip, with an EV it'd be 13 charging stops.

Plus or minus some accounting for placement of towns and charging/fuel stations.

That's only about 60 miles difference,

The best numbers I've been able to find put that number at about 25% of car owners

In the US, I thought I'd seen the number being closer to fully 1/3 of the population that did not have offstreet private parking where they could recharge every day....

I'm not in favor of the govt intervening....I'm ok with them maybe helping to get charging infrastructure going a bit more, but I don't want taxes or incentives on EV or ICE....let the market work that out. When the EVs are truly beating out the ICE vehicles.....the public will switch....if they don't, then they don't...but the govt shouldn't be choosing winners and losers here.

Before leaving the charger, you can see your next charging stop and the expected arrival SoC (state of charge). Only an idiot would leave a charger without having enough battery. You can also choose to charge more and skip the next charger - for example, if youÃ(TM)re stopping for lunch.

Sounds like a pain in the ass to me.

With my normal car (ICE), I don't have to 'plan' my trip based on where I have to fuel up....with the few exceptions of extremity, like crossing a few desert areas in the US, but for the majority of the US....there's a gas station on every corner in a city and all long the highways....you don't have to know where...they're just there whenever you need them.

And...gas is getting so cheap again too.....
