  Thanks for the links to the sources. It was interesting to read the backstory on how it came to be.

  My prediction is that as pressures mount on all industries, especially food supplies, we’ll start to see large civil unrest leading ultimately to wars which will wipe most of us out first, then famine takes the rest. Agree on a few well off holdouts for a while.

  Yeah, Tesla is certainly not the first ones to have this design or issues with it:

  Question is, how do you keep that from being abused?

  It’s about time, quite annoying to hit the limit of your “unlimited” data plan to have it throttled so heavily it is totally unusable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku got hacked⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The headline is misleading. Roku didn’t get hacked and leak accounts. There were ~15000 customers that had accounts accessed due to credential stuffing. Aka, they reused passwords on other sites that had leaks and hackers tried those credentials on their Roku accounts and got into them.

  Ah, good point, the speed changes for ICE ended results in lots of energy wastes due to heat instead of being recaptured. That would certainly be the largest loss for an ICE in the city cycle.

  Due to electric drivetrains having minimal fixed losses at low speed unlike internal combustion engines. Aerodynamic losses start becoming the largest factor for EVs at relatively low speeds (25-35 MPH) since other losses at so low. This shows up on tests as higher city efficiency and lower highway.

  For an internal combustion engine you are burning a large amount of energy just to keep the engine running, so the slower the speed, the less distance traveled for the fixed amount of running losses and lower the MPG. It isn’t until higher speeds (55-65 MPH) that aerodynamic losses become the largest factor. This manifests as lower efficiency in the city tests and higher highway.

  What was the EPA rated highway range? The 320 mile range is the EPA combined city/highway which you won’t hit doing entirely highway but you would beat doing entirely city.
