Interesting. I've had the whole spectrum depending on the aircraft. Some as okay with WiFi and anything else, others wanted all electronics turned off completely.
It was supposed to be Obama's pick. The system is stupid but that's how it works, and Obama made a perfectly good choice. Republican's refused because they saw an opportunity to stack the SCOTUS.
I completely agree with that assessment. TTP has been very good for the remaining countries that went with it sans I.P. provisions.
The problem is that now the US wants to do individual trade deals, and they are all terrible for the other countries involved. Japan is trying to stall and wait it his presidency, for example.
Pulling out wasn't a terrible thing to do, especially compared to the other stuff, but it would have been better to fix it.
564Wh/mile is pretty much worst case. That's all I'm saying, their test is an edge case. Valid if you need to tow very un-aerodynamic trailers for long distances.
Superchargers are not like gas stations. You mostly charge at home or at destination chargers (work, shops etc.) Superchargers are for long distance travel.
There are pretty much enough in Europe now. What is needed is more effort to have on-street charging in some places.
This is indeed the problem. You might be able to detect things like power draw and RF oscillators if the device is receiving RF signals even when in airplane mode, but it is harder to do than measuring transmissions.
There is also a question about what "airplane mode" actually does. Okay, it prevents transmissions, but what about GPS? It appears to turn it off, but why? GPS is receive only, there is no transmission and no danger to aircraft even if it is turned on. Chances are it turns GPS off just to satisfy clueless airline staff and consumers.

I've driven plenty of those vehicles and could not disagree more.
Can you name one?
The eGolf and eUp are both fairly crap, the eUp in particular is a horrible compliance car. The Mercedes B class is a joke, can't even rapid charge. The Hyundai Ioniq is about the closest to being good, although it was actually designed for both EV and hybrid platforms from scratch so doesn't really count.
The electric Ford Focus is just a Ford Focus with the engine ripped out, like the eGolf it lacks most of the stuff that makes EVs good.
Oh, well the Kia Soul EV isn't bad actually, assuming you don't mind the Kia Soul in general.
You completely ignore a whole lot of use cases that will always depend on a combustion engine backup.
No I didn't. Go check, I'll wait. I said keep around ICE for those relatively limited cases where pure EV isn't suitable.
Instead of investing all that money and effort into complex hybrid systems, throw it all at EVs and infrastructure. Many of the kind of people who really need ICE mostly don't want a complex hybrid system anyway, they want something simple that they can maintain and fix themselves.
It's funny that Tesla built a massive network from nothing in a few years and people still insist that it's impossible to quickly build a massive network. And Tesla already said that they will share if other manufacturers want in on it. Not to mention that Nissan has built nationwide networks, Renault has been in on it, various independent networks exist...
Also, the Truck market is deal for home charging. People in city apartments are not the main customers of trucks, it's people in places where they have a driveway and the need for a truck.
In any case, a much better option than a complex hybrid drivetrain is a range extender, basically an on-board generator. If you absolutely have to burn fossil fuel that's the way to do it. Much less complex, can run at maximum efficiency all the time and can be much smaller than a massive and heavy combustion engine.
Hybrids are a waste of time at this point. Pure electric is the way forward, with a rapid charger network and a few ICE models for edge cases.
Ford still have no clue. They are trying to retrofit this tech to existing models. Every EV that is just an ICE with an electric drive train fitted is crap.
Even today such data collection is illegal without permission in the EU.
My Leaf asks me if I agree every time I turn it on, and if I don't it works fine but doesn't send the trip data up to the cloud service. I mostly decline since I don't use that service.
No need to over-think this. He is a populist, a demagogue. Same technique that has worked over and over throughout history. When times are hard someone like Trump can promise simple solutions like getting rid of immigrants, building a wall, opening up obsolete industries and "draining the swamp".
People respond to simple ideas that seem like they will produce quick results. The truth, that the problems are complex and difficult to solve and will require them to charge too is a much harder sell.
Are you kidding? Trump is running out of staff to fire and just started a damaging trade war. He failed to improve healthcare, backed out of Paris, made the office of POTUS a global laughing stock...
Is there anything positive he has actually done? H1B reform perhaps. He was a useful idiot for Kim. Not much of an achievement.
It will be immediately farmed and an industry will be created to increase your credit. Trolls will abuse it, cops will abuse it, the government will use it to subvert the legal system that is already a joke...
No, the story here is that as one site forces them out it just relocates the problem somewhere else. Same as in real life.
Companies apparently need to be on the lookout for migrating swarms of arseholes looking to turn their site into something creepy or illegal. None of them are motivated to do more than move them on.

Sure, on my phone you can enable everything in airplane mode if you want to. It's just a fast "disable everything" button.

You mean you didn't notice those times I was extremely critical of Musk?
564Wh/mile is pretty much worst case. That's all I'm saying, their test is an edge case. Valid if you need to tow very un-aerodynamic trailers for long distances.
Check out Bjorn Nyland's videos on YouTube. He regularly tows in very poor weather and 100 miles to a charge is totally unrealistic.
Superchargers are not like gas stations. You mostly charge at home or at destination chargers (work, shops etc.) Superchargers are for long distance travel.
There are pretty much enough in Europe now. What is needed is more effort to have on-street charging in some places.
I've driven a Kia Soul, an eGolf and an Ioniq EV. Did not try the B Class or the Ford Focus.

These would have happened anyway.
You said: "The problem is towing long distances, the batteries are just too expensive to do that at this point."
I said: "A lot of people use the Model X to tow"
You replied: "Stop trying to claim that EVs will do everything right now"
I'm not sure how you got from "a lot of people do that" to "EVs will do everything right now". What is the logic connecting those statements?
I've driven plenty of those vehicles and could not disagree more.

Slashdot comments are increasingly just ranting conspiracy theories. Sad.
A lot of people use the Model X to tow. Even the 75kWh model is fine with a network of superchargers.
Trucks are ideal to be made electric. Plenty of space for batteries, loads of torque at low speeds, and priced right to absorb the battery cost.
Are you kidding? Trump is running out of staff to fire and just started a damaging trade war. He failed to improve healthcare, backed out of Paris, made the office of POTUS a global laughing stock...

I expect Britain will adopt it soon.
Android devices get updates pretty much forever because they come via Play Services. Doesn't really matter if the vendor doesn't update the kernel.
Google fixed the lack of vendor today's by making it not matter.
