The last gasp by the oil companies IMO
We here in Australia, are grappling with the problem of what to do with all the excess solar power https://www.abc.net.au/news/20... as so many people have put solar panels on their roofs that it is becoming a problem when they are at work and not using this energy.
Simple - use it to charge up cars.
The batteries, whilst still expensive, are getting cheaper, will fill this gap.
In the new electricity grid, all homes will have a battery and probably solar. These batteries will all be charged up during the day and the energy drawn on at night. It will take time to get there.

Looks like it has 3 connections to me..

The model 3 is probably the cheapest electric car with any decent range on the market, I would suggest that they are already in that market.

Nissan Leaf and the Mitsubishi MiEV don't even compare.

Why not add a battery and keep it running all the time? Solar panels are cheap, so are batteries these days.

The global warming properties of natural methane are much higher than the properties of carbon dioxide after it is burnt.

Whoever is funding this takeover had better have deep pockets as the Tesla car company has been burning some serious dollars https://techcrunch.com/2018/05... each year just to keep going.
It could just be the case where Elon knows it is about to suddenly start making a profit real soon.

I imagine that people who frequently use a sauna probably also utilise other forms of formal exercise, eat a healthier diet than the working class masses.

I'm sure there is an opportunity for someone to come up with a refrigerative cooler plinth that you can sit the laptop on that will be able to supply cool air for optimum performance. Combined with a suitable battery pack, you will be able to have optimum performance on the road too.

I am sure there will be a few FB employees who will enjoy looking through the new FB p0rn collection.

Why can't FB issue a utility to the users to process their own images and generate a hash for the images they don't want shown?

Quite possibly this person means like the vulnerability in this router:

"We described a flaw that allowed attackers to force your router to open up its administration interface to the internet, something you would never normally do."
Port forward every port you need to attack the host on the inside and go for it.

If you haven't been given an education or your IQ prevents you from getting an adequate education then these people are usually stuck with this sort of work.

This is performance based workplace at it finest, where the company is managed by numbers on spreadsheets. The workers are just numbers (expenses really) and the focus is on getting the most productivity out of these expenses. Managers are rewarded on the performance they can extract leading to this sort of treatment.

You mean "The Stig"

They get paid the same, it is just that men prefer to work longer hours, take on riskier jobs and probably take less breaks/ spend less time chatting than women..

I wonder if they are applying discounts for their own repair work. Tesla cars are notoriously expensive to repair and not all accidents are your own fault and not all other drivers are insured or will own up to a parking lot incident.
This is what $30k of damage looks like.
