Yet the Times reports that this new policy reflects "a widespread view that the United States has mounted an inadequate defense against the rising number of attacks aimed at America."
You don't say.
It's been obvious for a while that the NSA is too busy hacking other people's computers to properly defend important computers in the USA. I think this comes from the fact that the NSA is run by military leaders, who were all taught that the best defence is a good offence. Yet, no one in government appears to question whether this dogma applies to "cyberwar".
They only product SolarCity has that could eventually yield high margins is the solar roof, yet that is way to expensive for the common man, is way behind schedule on market availability, and will likely always cost significantly more than traditional panels.
You really don't have a clue, do you?
The Solar Roof is aimed squarely at new construction, where it won't be expensive, especially when Tesla's warranty is included in the calculations. CA just mandated solar on new houses, and Tesla Solar is uniquely positioned to satisfy the demand produced by this new mandate.
Sure it does. Any time a new technology comes into play you have to take some time to figure out how it fits into the existing legal framework or if you need to revise laws to better deal with the new reality
But we are not talking about revising laws. We are talking about applying the constitution. If you are an orginalist, the ease of selling over the Internet should not affect how existing laws and the Constitution are applied.
States have a reasonable interest in...
Please tell me where "reasonable interest" appears in the Constitution.
"Originalists" are just as much (if not more so) idealogues, since they ignore the actual text when convenient. For example, the idea that the Federal government can regulate anything that "affects" interstate commerce, while the word "affects" (or any synonym for it) does not appear in the Interstate Commerce Clause.
4) The "tent" is a Sprung building. Cheap, fast, and can last for decades. They're popular for athletic buildings, warehouses, hangars, military applications, mining, etc. There was even one at "Ground Zero" in New York after the terrorist attacks.
Or, to put it in context, these "tents" are more substantial than the tents that the Trump administration has been using to house children in Texas, where the weather is much more extreme.
I think the problem is that governments keep selling to a single bidder for the entire job and end up getting fucked time and time again, but I suppose it's always a new set of idiots in office making the same mistake so there's a little bit of an excuse.
I think you are wrong about this and California shows why. CA law doesn't allow exclusive deals between municipalities and ISPs. So why do CA residents have so few choices? I believe the answer is that wired Internet service is a natural monopoly.
We need to recognize that wired Internet is currently a natural monopoly and regulate it as such.
Technology may change its status as a natural monopoly, but the best placed companies (cellphone carriers) don't seem interested in doing anything about it (limited monthly bandwidth makes cellphone Internet impractical as a replacement for wired Internet).
The UK doesn't have this natural monopoly problem for Internet service, but the UK requires incumbents to allow competitors to user their last mile infrastructure. Remember when the USA had CLECs? Lobbying and obstruction by the ILECs killed that.
The quote about ramping up to 15000 chargers refers to destination chargers, while the number you quote for May 2018 is Superchargers. There is a big difference.
A supercharger is a higher-current draw. That's it.
That higher current makes a huge difference on road trips. You can't wave it off as unimportant.
4) "Like my local council, supermarket and car park have,
Perhaps it is different in your country, but in the USA, most chargers in car parks are level 2 chargers, which are completely useless for road trips. Also, who wants to drive miles from the highway to find a charger?
You don't understand the difference between "station" and "charger" when these terms are used by Tesla. So, no, there is not an order of magnitude miss.
Secondly, you don't understand the difference between a destination charger and a Supercharger.
Thirdly, you don't understand the technical differences between the capability of most CCS chargers and Superchargers.
You don't don't apparently understand the concept of driving along highways, since, in your mind, this includes taking diversions, through city traffic, in order to find a charger in your local city car park, instead of at a facility next to the highway.
I think that the M3 won't be so affected by temperature as the Leaf. Teslas have active battery temperature management, while the Leaf only has passive management.
Regarding the M3: I have one and it's a blast. Unfortunately, it makes me realize how sluggish my Leaf is.
One thing that surprises me in your post: I don't think I have ever seen a public CCS charger that did not also have Chademo. I am sure Chevy and other dealerships install CCS only chargers, but outside of that, any new level 3 charger supports both.
I don't understand why there isn't more excitement for plug-in hybrids.
Because a plug-in hybrid has all the disadvantages of a small-range EV combined with all the disadvantages of an ICE, with the exception of range.
A plug-in isn't going to be efficient as a pure EV (less regeneration because the battery is smaller), it's going to need maintenance of the ICE, and it's not as much fun to drive (small electric motor and small ICE).
Most people drive their car to and from work. A small fraction of automotive traffic would require the Supercharger network.
That's true. But most people people want to be able to do those long drives occasionally. $35k is a lot of money for a car that is only a commuter car. A Leaf would be cheaper and just as effective.
At least in the USA, every other manufacturer of EVs has not realized what is Tesla's massive advantage and what it takes for practical long distance EVs.
The Supercharger network.
There is no other charging solution in the USA that is close to the Supercharger network. You can buy a Chevy Bolt today, but driving across country in it: that's going to be slow and difficult.
Really, you descend to using strawmen instead actually attempting to refute my statement? None of what you show above refutes anything I wrote. I'll take it that you agree with me.
Here is a clue for you. In the World cup, a competition between national teams, is there a UK team, or an English team? Also, I suggest you do some reading about the Scottish Parliament.
When correcting someone, it's suggested to make absolutely sure you're right. Otherwise you look like not only an asshole, but also a fool.
I agree. You do look like a foolish asshole: "Since the Union with England Act 1707, Scotland has shared a legislature with England and Wales. Scotland retained a fundamentally different legal system from that south of the border, " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
not from England, which no longer existed as a country by 1707

You are a f...ing idiot. You probably don't even know what a short-seller is. Tesla is one of the most shorted stocks ever.

KarenRei?
What you are saying is that people who voted for Clinton are responsible for President Trump.
Are you on the Model3OwnersClub forums?
Or, to put it in context, these "tents" are more substantial than the tents that the Trump administration has been using to house children in Texas, where the weather is much more extreme.

You are the one with the bias.
They may have taken the jobs out of desperation, but they didn't have to announce the fact on LinkedIn.
They made the information about themselves public.
Your post merely shows your ignorance.

If everyone bought cars purely on what made economic sense, BMW, Mercedes and other luxury brands would not exist.

In my house, most of the wires run from the roof space down the studs to the outlets or switches. Very few wires run laterally.

Here is a clue for you. In the World cup, a competition between national teams, is there a UK team, or an English team? Also, I suggest you do some reading about the Scottish Parliament.
Furthermore, the page you reference notes differences in Scottish law.
I agree. You do look like a foolish asshole:
"Since the Union with England Act 1707, Scotland has shared a legislature with England and Wales. Scotland retained a fundamentally different legal system from that south of the border, "

"England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom."

FTFY. Scottish law is not the same as English law.
Read the article again. Western Union was effectively involved in the scam.
