I think you are in the minority though. Most people are switching to hybrids from conventional ICE vehicles. In that regard, a hybrid seems like a space ship.

I think one of the things a lot of people underestimate is the poor reputation General Motors has among consumers. If Honda released an EV entirely designed and built in house, I think it would sell a lot better. Instead they sold rebadged Chevys, and people saw through it.

I have a 2020 Accord Hybrid and agree. It's a huge car that easily gets 50 MPG. A comparable EV was $10k more ignoring ignoring possible upgrades to the electrical service to my garage.
However, I'm a bit surprised Honda can make such fantastic (series) hybrids, but can't build a decent EV. EVs should be simpler.

We do something similar on one of my teams. Instead of going through the entire codebase we have it review merge requests for bugs. It's like having a 10x developer in code reviews. Ultimately it's up to humans to accept our reject the merge request.

Not the way manned missions should be tested. Accept the cost of many test flights in actual space with proposed modifications before putting astronauts on board.

5 or 10 years ago, this was a smart move. Charging times were slower and people had time on their hands to wander around a store. Now everyone is getting into the charging game, at the same time EV sales are plummeting in the US.

The most ironic part is MRP was replaced by notecards when Lean Manufacturing took over, yet ERP remains.
Submission + - 'Kill Switch'—Iran Shuts Down Musk's Starlink For First Time (forbes.com)
Thelasko writes: We have not seen this before. Iran’s digital blackout has now deployed military jammers, reportedly supplied by Russia, to shut down access to Starlink Internet. This is a game-changer for the Plan-B connectivity frequently used by protesters and anti-regime activists when ordinary access to the internet is stopped..
“Despite reports that tens of thousands of Starlink units are operating inside Iran,” says Iran Wire, “the blackout has also reached satellite connections.” It is reported that about 30 per cent of Starlink’s uplink and downlink traffic was (initially) disrupted," quickly rising “to more than 80 per cent” within hours.
