Comment Re:ICCU problems (Score 1) 103

I'm aware of how they handle the recall. My 2 year anniversary with my Ioniq 6 was last Friday. (No more free EA DCFC for me.)

My point was the total number of cars that were repaired after an ICCU failure is very small. Lots of manufacturers have recalls, including for parts that can cause a vehicle to stop running. Ford is the worst. Every vehicle lineup has their issues, so just putting it in perspective.

2 years for me, no ICCU issues. No charging issues. They did replace my interior door panels under warranty for peeling clear coat.

A tiny number of cars, but with very vocal responses because gotta drive them clicks!

Statistically, just 1% of the roughly 200,000 vehicles involved in the recall can have their ICCUs fail, which is 2,000 cars. Out of all the cars that are part of the latest recall for the failing ICCU, 41,137 Hyundai and Genesis EVs have already been fixed by Jan. 22, while another 14,828 Kia EV6s have had the remedy applied. Motor Trend concurred in a recent look at the issue: "Itâ(TM)s a big deal, but not one that individual E-GMP owners are statistically likely to face."

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.

Nobody. They're replacing them with universal chargers that have BOTH. And support credit-card readers, which the Tesla ones didn't. And upgrading them from the v3 400V 175kW Tesla chargers to Applegreen's 800V 350kW.

Tesla's contract ended. It was rebid. Tesla lost. Elon whines and throws a tantrum.

I have one chefs knife that is sharp like a razor. I have a stainless steel bowl I make a sanitation solution in (one or two cap fulls of bleach) and throw in a clean small towel or two. The super sharp knife makes sure onions and the like don't squirt unneeded juice, and I can wipe off the blade between food types.

Kosher was created because people didn't know what germs are, and just knew that if you ate certain foods you were more likely to get sick, but didn't know why. And they didn't know that the problem with wood handles on knives was that bits of stuff could get stuck between the steel and wood allowing contamination. So the rabbis just made up a rule and put it in the book that said, unless it is blessed by a rabbi, you can't eat that food or use that type of cooking tool. And then the rabbis would only bless food that was less likely to make you sick. Now we know about germs and raise animals in ways they won't be contaminated (e.g. trichinosis in pigs is almost unheard of now, and we know about things like 'red tide' and other stuff that contaminate shellfish and crustaceans). So Kosher doesn't mean shit anymore. Only people who think there is a god that watches what you eat believes that nonsense now.

Comment Who benefits from this? (Score 1) 103

Who benefits? the travellers certainly won't because the boarding passes could be obtained via e-checkin anyway and you would still need to go through the luggage checkin process.

How will e-passports save time? you will still need to go through the immigration clearance. Why not just print a QR code or a barcode on the visas such that the immigration clearance system can easily pickup the details about the visa from their database?

So the USA puts by tomorrow, 100% tariffs on Chinese goods. That means Americans' buying power with respect to what they can purchase from China, is halved. For all other countries at 50% it is one third. America can't buy as much. Just like the buying power of third world countries. Anyway, China won't care, there are over six billion people in all the other countries outside of China and the USA. And eventually when the American dollar goes low enough, all those countries will switch to using the Euro as the standard. Then the USA will be the banana republic you MAGA types have always wanted. You're number 85.

And, arguably, the current crisis at Tesla is because Musk is playing President rather than being "out on the factory floor".

The "current crisis" is manufactured and amplified externally. Nobody is doxxing Tesla owners with maps using Molotov cocktails as map cursors or burning lots full of vehicles in for service in some way that is a function of whether Musk is personally present on the factory floor vs doing something else he thinks is vital to our economic survival. All of it is ginned up hate based on the politics surrounding the pruning of vast left slush funds and debt-funded waste that has to go away. That's an entire industry with vested interests, and acting against it certainly brings out the coordinated hate, attacks on stock value, media smearing, and of course thousands of people who now say he's a nazi though they can't actually articulate why they think that.

No, him being "on the factory floor" or off it doesn't precipitate some "current crisis," except in the sense that entrenched interests currently having their oxen gored by drying up things like the NGO money laundering industry are doing their best to try to wreck the company to make a point.
