Unfortunately, I think the other manufacturers are also following Tesla’s model of oversized batteries and software gimmicks.

That’s fair, but Musk has specifically complained about FCEVs before.

I don’t think transitioning to either predominantly BEVs or hydrogen powered vehicles really affects the energy mix since the electricity to charge BEVs also comes from natural gas. That said, the infrastructure to support fast charging for a predominantly BEV fleet isn’t there either, especially for cargo trucks.

I don’t know how the mineral ingredients of a fuel cell stack compare to a lithium battery, but assuming they’re the same, a fuel cell vehicle has significantly less of them. For example, the fuel cell stack in the Toyota Mirai weighs about 19kg and is complemented with a battery that weighs 45kg (1, 2). In comparison, the Tesla Model 3 carries a battery weighing 480kg. Therefore, a BEV has about 6.5x as much stuff of questionable origin (and questionable disposal requirements) as a FCEV.

Serenely imagining a Chinese Miss Trunchbull.

We need hydrogen powered vehicles just to spite this guy, if nothing else.

I don’t know if they were the first, but they’re one of the most notorious offenders.

I have observed that myself with the infotainment system of my 2017 Golf Alltrack, but when did they start software derating their engines? My understanding is that there’s nothing much to be gained from an aftermarket ECU tune unless I switch to premium gas and the more powerful Golf models have other real differences like bigger turbochargers.

The businesses are launching a joint venture to develop platforms for “software-defined vehicles.”

Big oof.

Cross posting good.

Looking at me like I owe him money lol.

Are greenhouse gas emissions haram yet?

Wouldn’t it make as much sense for him to have a Spanish accent?

If you’re not opposed to digital, then maybe you could set up an RSS feed reader to just update weekly. Or maybe you could just subscribe to weekly newsletters. Wouldn’t want you to get a paper cut.

Nice work!

You are welcome to share a photo on here that does it better.

The ADL’s response is included in the article. It’s predictably petulant, but they didn’t go that far.

Basically, the sorry state of public transit in this country is the result of various policy decisions to further enrich and empower capitalists by depleting public infrastructure, forcing working people to get their own transportation, and baking in racial segregation.

Start with a modest goal and do some research on the tools you would need to build it. Assess the space you have available and adjust your goal and/or your tool selection accordingly. Go find those tools second-hand (Craigslist, etc.). I think just about every power tool you would need for furniture making will require calibration so learn how to do it properly and actually take the time to do it. Eye protection, a respirator, and probably hearing protection are a must. Share your work on here!

I know this clock is kind of a silly, Burning Man brained idea, but I’m glad it’s happening. I guess I’m just a sucker.
