If you didn't have an interest before in eating tinamou, why would you develop one just because some company makes them big?

I mean, there's literally photographs. Here's another shot of the NACS charger. Here's one of a Tesla plugged in, to a NACS connector. Here's another.

I mean, you're asking me to not believe my own eyes.

Literally, the other drivers leaving reviews at the site disagree with you. When was the last time you were there? Here's all the reviews:

Another great charge under the windmill at this wonderful museum!

We have a standard J-1772, and there was none of this plug type supplied at the ~4 charge stations (2 plugs each). Most if the plug-types were the CCS-Type 1. This station info should be updated.

After hours use the service entrance. Charger is under the big windmill.

This place is open and working! I called first to make sure the gate was open. Andy answered and was so sweet. He greeted us at the gate and took us to the charger.

Arrived when museum was closed and the gate was locked so there was no access to the chargers. their phone message said their hours were Friday through Sunday? But that we could arrange visits to the museum on other days.

We were in a pretty tricky situation in this area on the way to Vegas. Charging facilities are fairly limited in this area but this location helped close the gap to get to the closest super charger in needles. It seems that the charger can be accessed at any time of the day. The location is scenic with art installations by the host museum. Watch out for wild life. Leave a donation this service is seriously needed (and appreciated) in this area.

What a neat Historic Route 66 spot where my Spirit of Tesla - 2017 Tesla Model X used the service entrance to get to the windmill for a Level 2 Tesla destination charger (5 kW atv240 volts)...along with 120- volt Level 1 outlet. I will be back to visit this exquisite "Study The Past" historical site.

Nice place to go back in history. Very enjoyable
The Tesla Destination is now housed in a shelter. I didn’t test it with my adapter but looks in great condition.

Great historical museum on Route 66! Just 120v right now but 240v planned soon.

And the worst thing is not you dying, but the fact that you'll probably be killing someone else who was being a responsible driver, and possibly their entire family, in the process.

Please demonstrate how using the bathroom and buying a snack / drink turns a 24 hour journey into a week-long journey.

Quite the opposite, not taking rest breaks can very readily turn a 24 hour journey into an eternal journey, when you die in a car accident.

My car has a built in charger map; you don't need an app. And for at least their own network, Tesla payment on Superchargers is the simplest thing imaginable: just plug in whenever you want and disconnect whenever you want, without doing literally anything else. All chargers should work this way for all EVs (with credit cards / apps only as a backup).

When I road trip, I just plug into the wall (though we are 230V). Gives like a half charge overnight (and because you're not arriving on empty, you leave at somewhere between 2/3rds and completely full). Also, when traveling to see sights, there's (at least where I am) commonly chargers at the parking lot, so while you're out doing whatever for X minutes/hours, your car is also getting charged.

A couple years ago I drove around Iceland (one of the least densely populated countries on Earth) in my Tesla while friends and family were in an ICE vehicle. I was waiting on them just as often as they were waiting on me. And this is a model I got at the start of 2020, using a battery pack that had been little updated since the car first came out in 2017, at a time when most of Iceland's chargers were still 50kW.

I wish Colossal would just be more honest about what they're doing. They're not "bringing back lost species"; they're inserting just a handful of genes into modern species, genes which have the most impact on physical appearance. This is very different from bringing back the species itself, the entire genome. I'm glad that Slashdot's blurb at least had lots of caveats ("to resemble", etc).

(I won't even say that what Colossal is doing is useless. Their modified animals certainly seem a better starting point for future engineering efforts than just starting from scratch; at the very least, they'll be the right size for e.g. gestation / ovogenesis of the further modified progeny)

There's also the issue that Europeans as well found it difficult to conceive of the concept that an entire species could just go extinct.

Yeah. Even here in Iceland, which isn't exactly a solar paradise, these would be really useful in some places. Though realistically your best option would be a mix of solar and wind.

I think we're forgetting the other two possibilities in this grid: "solar mine" and "strip farm".

The... trees?

If you're annoyed by jet skis, I would strongly recommend not living on the shores of Lake Havasu. Also, yes, it does take way more energy to get there than it does to jet ski around while you're there. Also, there are electric jet skis.

Do you drive long distances without stopping to get food and drinks?

If so: please stop that.

My language does reflect the new reality. By your own admission EVs are a minority.

Would you say that white people should be called "normal people" in front of a bunch of black people in the US, because the black people are a minority?

You talk about EVs like they're some obscure just-invented thing. They're not esoteric.

We're not talking weight, we're talking wind resistance.

You very much are talking both. For an extreme case, with freight trucks, aero is only like 1/3rd to 1/2 of aero losses. And they have aerodynamically awful shapes and are on very low rolling resistance tyres (though also have very heavy cargos... but also very large frontal areas).

For a passenger vehicle / truck towing a trailer, it will really depend a lot on the vehicle and trailer. It's not even some simple additive process, the aerodynamics is complex; it's actually possible to even lower Cd by towing a trailer in some cases (though not usually). And if by definition of the topic at hand (discussion was of a "big" trailer), then you're talking something like similar to the vehicle's mass (F-150 can tow up to 3 times its mass). Which - if on the same tyres - then doubling your mass equals doubling the rolling resistance. The ratio between rolling and aero resistance at highway speeds varies on speed, vehicle, tyres, weather, etc, but saying 60:40 aero:rolling is probably reasonable at normal "towing" speeds (somewhat lower than drivers without trailers) and averaging across weather conditions. Doubling the rolling drag increases the total drag by 40%. If your cross-section stays the same (again, this depends on the vehicle and the trailer), the Cd would need to rise by 67% to keep the ratio between rolling and aero the same. Which is a really big Cd rise. Now, if you're starting with a very aero vehicle and have a very unaero trailer, sure, you might pull that off and then some (but remember that it's not additive, the airflow is complex). Or if it's a low car and a high trailer, again, same story. But to treat rolling as negligible is just not right. Trailers add a lot of rolling drag, amounts that very much are relevant.
