For this price, just get an Intel NUC (one with like an i5 or better). They’re cheaper than this is on ebay.
They might not have 32GB of memory, but I’m honestly not sure why you’d need that much for a small PC like this.

Rivian and Ford are killing it in the EV truck space, which doesn’t help Tesla.

I mean, this amount of problems is still surprising for a first model year.

Eh, I think that might be too smart for Musk. I don’t doubt the Saudi’s investment but that investment only came after the SEC forced him to take the “deal” (since he couldn’t keep his mouth shut even when around SEC officials). In other words, I think the Saudi’s saw their chance and took it.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
So Tesla successfully lobbies the government to get the grant money to apply to NACS instead of CCS, making it the new defacto standard. Now, they’re seemingly pulling out? Seems like Tesla just didn’t want to have to update their chargers to work with CCS (something that would have been required for that government money, before the lobbying).
On top of that, the lobbying successfully stunted CCS development, even after 700 kW charging had been demonstrated, with future increases planned. Tesla basically killed all of their charging competition with this move.
I’m sure the auto industry is happy to hear this headline after they started to change their vehicles over to NACS and made promises to customers about access to the Tesla network. Rivian, for example, has already begun shipping complimentary NACS adapters for R1 owners, but this will probably throw a wrench into that.

- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 month ago:
Sure, that is a valid argument. But it doesn’t change the fact that the government was successfully lobbied into changing what their grant money could be used for, seemingly overnight. When the grants were announced, CCS was said to become the standard. Due to that, many car companies stuck with CCS, and no doubt that some consumers (myself included) bought a CCS vehicle expecting it to be further developed.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 month ago:
I absolutely hate that Tesla was successful in lobbying the government to use NACS instead of CCS. You can tell that it was lobbyists because seemingly overnight, the government changed from giving grants for CCS (never owned by a single company) to only giving grants for NACS (a proprietary standard that was opened to other companies so that Tesla wouldn’t have to pay to change their chargers). A new, better CCS plug was even being developed, one that on paper could handle more than NACS.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 month ago:
It was developed by Tesla and they lobbied the government to change the standard from CCS to NACS.
Originally, the government said they’d make CCS the standard, so many car companies made their vehicles CCS. Obviously, this would be mighty expensive for Tesla since they’d have to upgrade their infrastructure. So instead, they claimed that out of the goodness of their hearts, they’d release the NACS specification to all car manufacturers.
Once Tesla did that, the government changed their tune and made NACS the standard. While you are correct that NACS can handle more power, CCS was having a newer version developed (with the same connector) which would have likely been the standard moving forward, had Tesla not been successful in their lobbying.
- Comment on Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated? 2 months ago:
Bluetooth can do it locally, but yes, for things on ZigBee or Z-Wave, it’s gotta have an antenna hub. WiFi switches and lights most likely do “phone-home” to the cloud in some way (usually for color or brightness control via app, Govee especially loves this). The down side, other than the obvious privacy implications, is that if your ISP has an outage, so do your switches.
Home Assistant attempts to mitigate both the privacy and offline issues, while putting all of the different brands and hubs into one place.

You can also get a KVM and keep them fully seperate that way. Some rootkits may still be able to infect both of your installs if you dual boot. Just depends on your paranoia level.

The idea of a truck EV isn’t bad, look at Rivian for example. It was purely poor execution, no doubt attributed to Musk.
