"The worst case is that the crumbling electrically infrastructure in the US (and I would guess in many other countries) can not support having a huge fleet of EV to charge every day." most people charge overnight when there is less call on the infrastructure.
"You always have time to recharge over night? And when you dont you can always just easily get a rental vehicle? On a Sunday? Or in the middle of the night during an emergency?" what happens when you run out of gas on the road as people do? You don't run EVs until they are almost flat like ICE cars, you charge when you park up if its possible so you are running with pretty much a full tank a lot of the time
"percentage of people commute XYZ miles a day" yes, 95% of journeys are short, studies back this up.
"Remember Tesla has been at this for that long and barely sold any vehicles compared to the big boys." in relative terms its a very very short time compared to the big boys plus the fact they are pioneering a new way of doing things. How long did it take the big boys take to become big boys?
" I can buy a beater gas powered car for under $5K. Why would I want to dump $50K for an electric." - is that comparing prices of buying a used car to a new one? Might be better to compare to a used EV which will be closer.
A lot of the newer EVs have a camper mode where you can have the heater on all night if you want, it shouldn't drain the battery too much as they use the more efficient heat pumps rather then conventional heating. Check out Bjorn Nylands videos, he sleeps in his car on some of his EV tests in Norway.
"And I'm sorry if it takes you 2 minutes to enter your pin into the card reader, but that's not the car's fault." true, but it adds to the time you are at a gas station.
"In the 5-ish years it's been here I've seen maybe a half dozen cars ever parked at it, and I drive by twice a day." probably confirms that most charge at home overnight and that recharge stations aren't as critical as detractors make out. It also supports the studies that 95% of daily journeys are short
you can still eat your packed lunch whilst charging, its not compulsory to eat at the greasy spoon. also gives you chance for a rest and ease you bladder/bowel in more comfortable way.
Millions reply on glacier melt for their water supply, if they melt away completely and don't replenish prepare for an exodus from those countries to yours if your water supply is okay - do a search for "countries that reply on glacier melt for water"
Maybe MS are hoping Google "giving up" on Chrome like they do with other products when they get bored with them then they can assume ownership - hows that for a conspiracy theory
Its a supply problem, the waiting time for new EVs is huge. They cannot service the demand as yet being such a relatively new product. Why is that so hard to understand?
As you are so interested in Norway and cold running of EVs, go to Youtube and search out Bjorn Nyland as he has loads of documented winter running of EVs in Norway.
"Not a lot of point in electric cars, unless you have excess clean electricity," - Even with coal power, EVs are still cleaner. Remember when processing gasoline, the refineries use a lot of electricity before you even look at the tail pipe emissions, then you have to transport that fuel to the stations and they use electricity to pump the gas. One refinery here in the UK says they use as much electricity as a small city every year. You can't just compare the tailpipe emissions.
"Given the fact that the oldest possible Tesla S is seven years old and their small relative numbers, the even one catching on fire should be disturbing. " - why? ICE cars have been catching fire since their creation and they still do after 100+ years of development. The odd car catching fire is nothing special for EV or ICE, shit happens.
"While bad things happening to an older car are often attributable to wear, bad things happening to a fairly new car usually point to a design flaw" - some old cars were badly designed too and after 100 years development history design flaws there should be less and less. Cars now are so much safer than old cars.
Sounds like Pence wants a "feel good factor" for their administration to divert attention from all the other shit. Space flight is science after all and generally against their normal anti-science verbals.
You have loads of trade deals already, all the UKs will be dead. Plus Norway has to obey every rule regarding trade, manufacture etc the EU creates and has no influence of the rule creation.
So if the Norway government let results based on lies and misinformation go unchallenged like the UK government and the Norwegians would not take a stand for truth?
that was said by the food businesses themselves. and you can only stockpile non-perishable stuff. And what happens when the imports get so slow because of all the introduced customs inspections and the stock piling runs out?
yes, best you don't comment until you know just a little about it. The EU is not throwing up any roadblocks, they have not changed their stance one bit. the UK is trying to get a unicorn deal that has been refused by numerous times no matter how many times the re-paginate the document to say its a different offer.

Its simple, there's no need for rockets, he just needs to jump off the edge into space.

"Every drop of oil Norway pumps is burned." - can you provide a link to that, it'll make an interesting read.

Does that mean "God" will fix the mess you contribute to for your progeny to live a healthier life?

what were the results of your tests in those conditions?
Was that perhaps because the China took all the rubbish from western countries until quite recently?

Correct but the UK referendums are only advisory so a responsible government would have said "thanks but no thanks"

+1 I was there too - we must have been part of a bot army
and each one needs validating before its counted - that should be fun.
we'll all bow to your superior counting ability... not
Extreme Left AND Right wing isn't well researched. It's thick as fuck. Hope that helps moron. - fixed that for you
