Definitely AI generated, by me.

Nice.

Which one?

It's a climate change denial site, we've covered that off before. It content is half truths and lies, the sort off place Trump would like.

It's progress at least. They've stopped blaming Obama for everything

All they do is share links from other sites. Feel free to counter the report about the buses.

In other words, critical thinking (also known as misinformation).

I'm waiting until they start to build the 'proper' Model Y in Germany, then I'm buying one. While I'm waiting We thought we'll have a look at maybe, a used Model S. The Tesla Luxury car. I'm already sold on the technology so that goes without saying. But I wanted the 'Luxury' car feeling and didn't get that. Its very nice and a pleasure to drive. But I left feeling disappointed.

The right hand drive versions of the Model S don't really sell in big numbers. There is only one factory producing them so I think its a cost thing really.

They had to do something after partnering with SunRun for the chargers etc. People were buying E Machs & Lightnings then finding out there was a 3 month wait to get the charger installed at their homes.

Ok so it's not cars but changing batteries on trucks makes a lot of sense.
Well worth a watch.
Charge up slowly and when the energy grid has spare capacity, replacing the batteries is actually faster than refilling diesel, gearbox lasts longer, less running costs and less downtime for maintenance.
Oh and the batteries are good for grid storage even after theyve lost enough capacity to be good in a truck

Surprised they didn't insist on solar chargers where it's dark for half the year...

Interesting take on where we are with battery cars by a surprising author - Mr Bean. (Rowan Atkinson appears to be better academically qualified than most to comment given his degrees). My summary - for those that lose interest in anything with more than 12 words and no pictures, or are allergic to Guardian links

- don't buy one, yet.
