I'll bet that the business very much cares when their link to the internet gets saturated with streaming media and work can't get done. How do you solve that without filtering or traffic shaping? And who would do such filtering and shaping? IT would.
The absolute last thing on the intended customer's mind is how it looks. The very first thing is operating cost per mile, and the second thing is the initial capital outlay.
It could look like it drove through the ugly forest ripping down every branch over the road, but it it has a lower operating cost per mile, they'll sell a whole lot of them.
Where it gets important is when you have a trailer with 60,000 pounds of cargo in the back, and you need to go from 0-60 up a hill. That takes a Diesel tractor minutes to do, where this thing could keep traffic flowing reasonably.
It appears that the electric motors have been done right, as they announced a whopping ONE MILLION MILE drivetrain warranty during the launch.
As for the driving from the left seat, it's to give you better perspective of the whole road in a vehicle that is low to the ground - it's the same effect you get in right-hand drive cars while driving on the left side of the road. Center-seat in a commercial vehicle probably works nice because you are up high, and it would give you a perspective for guiding that large vehicle right down the center of a lane, giving less danger of clipping parked vehicles.
Yeah, because there's absolutely no rusted out shitbucket internal-combustion vehicles throughout the midwest and northeast US due to road salt. Not a single one. Salt only attacks electric vehicles!
On a hill, the electric truck will win every single time - no rapid downshifting to keep engine RPMs up, no tough hillstart climbs that require a lot of skill or extra mechanical devices like crawler gears or hill-start assist magic that prevent you from sliding your trailer into the family of 4 behind you, torque for days to pull the steep grade faster than 10 mph and regenerative braking to get the power back on the other side of the hill - in a diesel you just burn more diesel getting up the hill, and then wear your brake pads and drums even more going back down the other side.
There's a lot of smoke and mirrors when it comes to these launches, but some of what they did here makes a lot of sense.
About as much courage as it takes to leave your web site not handling character encoding that has been part of every web server and spec for the last two decades, bunky.
they also appear to even it out over all the volume they do - I got "free" shipping on a water heater that was maybe $20 more expensive than the same model from local retailers, where either I had to get the thing (rent a truck / van) or they would deliver for $75 - that practically paid for the Prime membership for the year just on that one purchase.
I'm wondering why the Wall Street Journal thinks that walmart would need to ship individual boxes of mac and cheese over 700 miles through the heart of the midwest, and why that particular statistic is of any relevance to anything at all.
What, has there been a run on mac and cheese in Chicago, and the 500+ stores and god knows how many distribution centers are all tapped out? Or does Atlanta boxed mac and cheese taste better than Chicago boxed mac and cheese? And god damn it, I need my shitty boxed mac and cheese RIGHT FUCKING NOW, so you'd better same-day that shit.
The fuel I'd use getting there to do the curbside pickup is more expensive then the penny I'd be saving. And I wouldn't have to deal with traffic, the Walmart parking lot, etc. And the time I don't spend driving there is better utilized doing other things, unless I just really fucking need corn flakes right fucking now.
Tesla employs over 50,000 people world wide. I'd be shocked if there *weren't* racists in the mix.
A company's managers have the responsibility under state and federal law to maintain a hostility-free workplace, which includes being free of discrimination against protected groups defined by law, which includes race. If this guy can show that there was racial discriminatory behavior that went unchallenged and uncorrected by the management at multiple levels, then he has a case. But that's a hard one to prove, and the burden will be on him to do so.
This story has literally nothing to do with the Orange Combover. Especially since the allegations haven't been proven in any way, shape, substance, or form. It's literally one guy and his lawyer saying "uh-huh!" after the company said "nuh-uhh!"
It's amazing how some people will do some extreme contortions to relate literally anything to the Dorito-tinted-Commander-in-Chief; it's probably the same people that did the piss and moan about the exact same thing when other people were doing amazing contortions to non-ironically proclaim "Thanks, Obama!"
Would you rather have a CEO writing his honest opinion in an email, or some HR-sanitized boiler plate that is immediately ignored by all (including HR) and deleted from the inbox ?
This sounds like Musk heard there may have been some issues with employee conduct, and he pulled out his phone and tapped out an email right then and there.
Yeah, except that this is the official language that even HR uses in the employee handbook at Tesla, as documented many places you can find on Google. And, on the first day you are told that if you see a problem, you talk to whoever is best equipped to fix it fast - and that includes sending an email to Elon Musk if that's what it takes.
If there's casual racism being thrown about, and the immediate supervisor of the racists is unwilling to do jack shit about it, why didn't this guy take up that invitation and send a communication to an executive or five and get them shitcanned?
Don't worry - it's no better in urban southern Ohio.
One of the first things that opened my eyes when I moved here from Portland, is the casual racism (read: incredible ignorance) that some people display.
The pollution per panel, at worst, is still a static figure. The pollution from fossil fuels just keeps growing the longer you operate it. Are solar panels the utopia of green that some people like to think? No - but they are still a damn sight better than lopping off the tops of mountains and burning it.
I don't understand the shilling for fossil fuels on this supposedly enlightened site. Can't we all agree that essentially turning mountains into toxic slurry, aerosol particulate, fly ash ponds, and carbon dioxide / sulfur dioxide is bad?
Just because these particular plants decided to make even more profit at the expense of being dirty as fuck, doesn't mean that it can't be done in a non-dirty-as-fuck manner and still turn (less) profit.
These assholes just decided to either take a bigger margin, or undercut competition with literally dirty business.

So, right back to my first statement.
The absolute last thing on the intended customer's mind is how it looks. The very first thing is operating cost per mile, and the second thing is the initial capital outlay.
It could look like it drove through the ugly forest ripping down every branch over the road, but it it has a lower operating cost per mile, they'll sell a whole lot of them.
How is it legal? Because it is, in many jurisdictions.
Or are you asking about the actual legislative process by which speed limit laws are passed?
So the two trucks, and the car that they actually drove into, and out of the event, don't exist.
They must have some next-level hologram technology they aren't launching then. Or you don't know what you are talking about.
Where it gets important is when you have a trailer with 60,000 pounds of cargo in the back, and you need to go from 0-60 up a hill. That takes a Diesel tractor minutes to do, where this thing could keep traffic flowing reasonably.
That's the point.
It's fueled by millennials? Do they have a big furnace in the basement or something?

Sounds like a whole lot of IT departments need to set up some egress filtering...

Slashdot: ignoring the HTML 2.0 standard and it's incorporation of unicode since the late 90s.
The problem isn't Apple, the problem is Slashdot hasn't bothered to support Unicode in the literally 20 years it's been part of the HTML standard.

I'll gladly pay extra to not step foot into a Walmart. Of course, I don't shop their web site either, so I guess it makes no difference.
Seriously though, what is the googs doing that would make them seem like suspicious to conservatives?
They donate lots of money to Democrats.
Keep your republican probes to yourself - that kind of thing gets you in the newspapers these days.

Doesn't seem legit on the face of things.

You don't have to store it if you're just dumping it somewhere... which is exactly what these plants were doing (apparently)
