There appear to be only 20 SCs in Texas, including one in all of Houston, and one on the 240 mile drive from Houston to Dallas. As soon as you finish the drive, your first thought will be to hunt for a charging station.
And there are zero in vast swaths of the state.
In my state, there are six, the closest being 40 miles away. It'll be decades before there's an EV station in the where sisters live (at least 10 miles from the nearest small town).
And RV parks... is that electricity usage unmetered? (I bet it currently is, and they'll be mighty pissed when people start pulling in and -- effectively -- run a string of sixty 100W light bulbs for 10 hours.
A Model 3 doesn't have the range for a long weekend at the quaint rural B&B two hours away (plus driving to all the little shops your wife wants to visit in the "nearby" town).
a dirty gas station and breathe carcinogenic (literally) fumes while standing outside fueling your vehicle
Not in the US in the (at least) past 15 years.
regardless of the weather.
In some very small town gas stations (where you wouldn't find an EV charging station anyway), but certainly not at 98% of gas stations in the US in the past 30 years.
There's no point to 400+ miles range otherwise; it's not safe to drive for such long periods
Fine: you find a Motel 6 off the Interstate and check in for the night. Good luck charging your EV over night.
Same with visiting distant friends/relatives: it would be grossly impolite to plug your car into someone else's power outlet.
I'm smart enough to figure out that someone with a/. id number just slightly higher than mine is in no way shape or form a "kiddie". Thus, as usual, your comment is wrong.
Since my original comment ("Also IIRC, these catalysts require very high temperatures.") is in no way, shape or form critical (it is skeptical, which is different), your comment is Yet Another Example of your poor reading comprehension skills. Or at least your apparently burning desire to find something -- however nonsensical -- to criticize me about.
Texas has more charging stations than any other state but California.
1) A guy as smart as you should know that's a damned meaningless statement: if the state with the third most chargers has 10 charging stations, then your statement would be true by Texas only having 11 charging stations.
2) Texas is becoming blue.
3) Are those charging stations in (far left) Austin and (really rich) northern Dallas suburbs, or out in hot, dusty Lubbock?
The problem for AMD is that most desktop workloads aren't multi-threaded, and many that are (like HandBrake) show diminishing returns after 4 threads.
Heck, Firefox still only uses a few threads.
Six cores (from AMD, or four from Intel) really does seem to offer the best performance for "average" users. (I won't speak to CAD, Mathematica, etc. users.)

Unless you move to where charging stations aren't as ubiquitous as in San Jose.
I see you ignored my reply about the bubbles. To paraphrase Eun Ji-won, "Show me the bubbles!"
or missed the little pic with the bubbles
I see no picture of bubbles in either of these web pages: /. post: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221128551730441X?via%3Dihub

Do you frequently bully the kiddies that way?

Nothing in what I wrote was arrogant. (Heck, it took me an extra year to get a B.Sci., since I radically changed majors half-way through.
The standard is still 4 years to get a Bachelor's degree.
Assumes that all new games will be written in Vulkan instead of DX10.
(DX12 has the same feature set as Vulkan regarding multi-threading, but I'm not holding my breath on it's wild adoption either.
San Jose, California
I'm not surprised.

3) Are those charging stations in (far left) Austin and (really rich) northern Dallas suburbs, or out in hot, dusty Lubbock?
or in my parking space at work
Where is that? (I can't imagine it being a red state.)
Interesting that you don't drive an EV.
probably helps them dodge environmental laws.
Which drive up prices.
Balancing every single task by oneself, instead of getting some help, can break a person down in record time.
Nissan is a large company, with lots of people.
This is either selling assets to pay down debt, or upper management thinking that they can't be competitive as battery manufacturers.
So it's a guess based on a headline somewhere else NINE YEARS AGO
Congratulations on skipping right past the link embedded in the sentence "These are the much higher temperatures."
in order to make the leap to the next generation of computing with the next generation of applications, we need to move beyond that.
I'm pretty sure I read that exact quote 10 years ago when dual-core CPUs came out.
Where did I even hint that I'm going to buy an i9 or TR? My old FX-6100 is perfectly adequate to the tasks I set it to.
They have proven that they dont do actual design well.
Seeing as how Intel's performance has been crushing AMD for almost a decade, that's the stupidest thing I've read this month.
Yes... but that does not negate the fact that $100 is suddenly uncheap.
The problem for AMD is that most desktop workloads aren't multi-threaded, and many that are (like HandBrake) show diminishing returns after 4 threads.

On what basis do you say that Intel hasn't designed for greater core scaling?
Only if you're a pair of females (one a man-hater, the other one with very poor man-choosing skills) on the run from the law in SoCal/AZ.
"Two years" is the standard for Associate degrees. For people with average intelligence.
So have I. but then I got married, a mortgage, kids, wife was SAHM, etc. Suddenly, $100 becomes very uncheap.
But when you're as rich as Jobs, $100 is throw-away.
Not only that, but the mindset which thinks that $100 is cheap.
Two years is damned recent... when you compare it to when the Great Pyramid was built.
