Ice cars/trucks/vans/jeeps... add insignificant amounts of pollution/CO2 to the environment relative to the following:
Bulk carrier ships, one of these monstrosities pollute as much as 50 million cars. 16 (sixteen) release as much pollution as ALL cars in the world do. Now, depends where you...
I won't lend or rent mine out, too many foreseeable problems.
I would tell the person " its cheaper in the long run for you to rent a truck from an established company".
From what I understand this battery CANNOT overheat, cannot be adversely affected by a short circuit ( or cannot be short circuited) if tipped sideways or upside down the battery self discharges and goes to a solid and all one needs to do is pass an electrical current through it to get it back...
Nice.
The "Ambri liquid metal battery" is neat because it requires an operating temp of 500 Celsius. This high temp allows the battery to operate at its maximum performance level no matter the external temp and it does not require ANY power hungry air conditioning. Pretty good for Mars!
So...
Yep, the more moving/working parts the increased chance there is of wasted efficiency, energy and failure.
I did trades for a stint and what I learned was the less complications - on a roof - ( dormers, valleys, skylights...) the better chance exists of no leaks or problems.
Casted parts for...
Now they "seem" to be backtracking.
A few things I have learned and one is: When an agency/company... telegraphs/ floats out an idea rest assured they are "putting out feelers" and planning on how to implement that idea w/out creating to much backflash.
I fail to see how saying "China crap" is racist as China is a Country, a defined LAND mass, a non-living sectioned off piece of Earth NOT an individual. I enjoy eating pork hocks and "pissed off Germans" ( sauerkraut - get it? ), I am not racist against myself or my mother or any other German...
Interesting, there was an ad many many years ago that promoted the idea of "trees are beneficial" to a city - the City itself did this campaign - because each tree removed a lot (ton/tons) of pollutants (including Co2) from the air each year and having many such trees would "do wonders" for air...
The pendulum needs to find a middle ground.
Back in the day ( no I am not belittling or making nothing of horrendous conditions that still exist, just trying to make a point) workers were like ants and "management walked all over them". Then as time went on the pendulum began swinging from that...
With Teslas ( and future vehicles I imagine) it can be uploaded randomly, given to whomever and at their whim.
I watched a video on "WHAM BAMM TESLA CAM" wherein a valet appeared to have crashed a Tesla into another vehicle or two...and the owner requested some "_____ report" Tesla refused so...
It is just around the corner: meters on solar, wind turbines, water turbines and well pumps (if you are not using Town water). If they cannot do those, then they will simply set a $$$ amount according to house size, occupants...and add it to ones "tax bill"
The "Green New Steal, oppps Deal"...
Considering inflation is NOT political, but a Federal Reserve (PRIVATE banking syndicate) idea, all one has to do is LOOK at the price of housing, food, electricity, health care, tuition...and inflation is RAMPANT. It's just the Federal Reserve keeps shifting "what is in the 'CPI'". They take...
CT prices will NOT be what Elon initially said!
Copper is up in cost, steel is up, silver is up (r/wallstreetsilver), electricity is up, chips are up (if you can find them), oil is up....
To think Elon can "master" the lowball prices he initially spoke of...real estate for sale in the Florida...
1st would be what do you use per day watt wise?
2nd would be what CT are you gettin, as each may have diff capacity.
3rd would be if you are "using 25%" for return home and you will "have 75% charge avail to power cabin needs" -how did you get there with 100%? Shouldn't it be 25 to get there 50...
Ugly changes to looks, decrease in capacity (mainly battery, but also ground clearance) hold-ups in production, increase costs, limitations as a "stand alone" power source, ridiculous insurance cost... and I am SHUFFLING out of the NONSENSE!
