Russia deploying Starlink in Ukraine—reports
  • That is what's happening.

    SpaceX knows which satellites were sold to the Ukrainian government though and could apply additional filtering. That's the easiest first step.

    To prevent Ukrainian dishes from falling into Russian hands you'd also need some sort of rolling authentication code so the dish becomes inoperable after a period of time.

    Simply being in Russian territory doesn't guarantee a Russian is using it as it could be Ukrainian special forces deep in enemy territory.

  • Tesla stock drops on Q4 earnings miss, EV maker warns production growth rate will be 'notably lower' than 2023
  • It was very obvious 2024 was not going to meet the 50% goal and they've been warning us for years about it.

    50% with some years over and some years under based on when we do vehicle launches is what they've been saying for quite a long time now.

    The only way 2024 was ever going to be above that trend line, or even in its vicinity is if the Gen 3 platform launched, and it's been clear for over a year now this wasn't happening in 2024.

    Probably like mid 2022 this was the obvious outcome for 2024.

    And yet everyone is acting like the sky is falling.

    The sky is falling when gen 3 comes out and it doesn't sell well at reasonable profit. If it sells with reasonable profit, everyone is going to be hospitalized with whiplash as they start spiking deliveries again and March their way to 7-10 million vehicles based off the platform (multiple vehicles in the platform)

    But ya, 2024 is a dud year. It's been a dud year vehicle wise for over a year already.

  • How many days do your wear your socks before changing them?
  • I only wear wool socks and work from home. I can easily go 4-5 days if I've only gone outside to get groceries or whatnot.

    If I'm going out to socialize though and it's been more than 2 days I'll get a fresh pair.

  • American Debt: Auto Loan Balances Hit Record $1.6 Trillion in Q3 2023
  • You essentially need a fully remade battery.

    Most of the attempts to fix a single module don't work out and fail again as the battery isn't properly balanced.

    It's almost impossible to do it without the scale of batteries the OEMs have at their service centers.

    Maybe it'll get better as time goes on though

  • American Debt: Auto Loan Balances Hit Record $1.6 Trillion in Q3 2023
  • Well ya, I got years left still.

    But at 8 years it's resale value will be much higher than at 8 years with a 15-20k battery replacement if it dies.

    There's a cost/risk to consider there, it just working isn't a financially sound decision on its own

    Edit: also by the time 8 years is up,getting a 1 year old car to eat that initial depreciation will be easier.

  • American Debt: Auto Loan Balances Hit Record $1.6 Trillion in Q3 2023
  • I got an electric vehicle, and I'm worried about the post battery warranty period. Do I keep it after 8 years and hope the battery doesn't go out, or do I say fuck that risk and get another one to drive until it's battery warranty is up too.

    Putin declares 1867 sale of Alaska to US illegal
  • GOP: well, we gave it back to Russia, but we still have American citizens there, so we're just going to keep 2 senators to ensure they're represented.

    Dems: but we need to get representation for Puerto Rico and DC!

    GOP: they've never had it, we're just trying to keep the status quo!

    Putin declares 1867 sale of Alaska to US illegal
  • This sounds like a set up for if Trump wins.

    Trump: Im the world's savior, I prevented World War 3 with Russia by giving them back their illegally stolen Alaska. No president has ever done anything so great for the world!

    Tesla launches new 'universal wall connector' that puts the charging world on notice

    Tesla has launched a product: the Tesla Universal Wall Connector. The product is perfect for non-Tesla EV buyers in North America.

    The product is inspired by Tesla’s Magic Dock, a new adapter integrated into Supercharger stations. The Magic Dock serves as the receptor for the Supercharger handle, but when unlocked by a non-Tesla EV owner, it sticks to the connector, gets out of the charging stall, and acts as a CCS adapter.

    Now Tesla is doing the same thing, but for home charging and commercial level 2 charging.
