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.

There’s tons on the used market.

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.

Only the Russian people can fix the elections. NATO and the EU have nothing to do with that, so I’m not sure why you’re blaming them for “confirming” it when the only people that “confirmed” it were the Russian people who rolled over for yet another false election.

So you are owed no apology from NATO, and I certainly don’t owe you one.

It would still probably count as some sort of trade (even when delayed), which is what would violate the sanctions.

Also, you seem to be putting the actions of Putin (and the consequences of allowing him to get the country to this state) on to Europe and NATO. The fact is that these sanctions would not be in place if Putin didn’t invade a neighboring country for illegal annexation (specifically, Russia violated United Nations Charter Article 2, paragraph 4).

I’m sorry to tell you that mass protests aren’t enough. As long as the Russian people are complicit (for example, by continuing to contribute to war efforts at their oil refinery jobs) and continue to allow Putin to govern, they will suffer.

Huge growth!

Since many of the sanctions also apply to things that are expected to fail over time, like electronics and industrial equipment, I’m sure the losses will continue to rise. Something to look forward to.

No shit, the Cybertruck can’t offroad.

Does Floccus count? It syncs via caldev into the native bookmarks.

I hope Google gets sued once this inevitably backfires.

Western Australia

You only have to work 80 hours a week to get it (or else they’ll just fire you)!

Hell no, not gunna ever go back.

Ah, the classic “hive mind” excuse. It’s always brought up when someone has nothing else to stand on (that someone is you, if it wasn’t clear).

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 CCS 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.

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.

That’s all I was trying to say - I’m more miffed regarding the lobbying than the connector itself.

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). When the government decided to change to NACS, NACS specifications hadn’t even been sent to other companies yet. A new, better CCS plug was even being developed, one that on paper could handle more than NACS.
