    It's sad I can't get the same software for 7 or 10 that runs so well on XP.

  6. Is it just me or does it start to seem like ol' Elon is going senile?

    He's rich, so he's just eccentric. And by that, I mean his axis is off center.

    But when you see a commercial on TV about product XX you've never heard of, you don't wonder "why are they talking about XX", right?

  12. There's no such thing as a British citizen. The correct term is SUBJECT.

    That's actually a time saver. Normally in surveillance the term "SUBJECT" is used to denote the person being observed...
    and the way it is now, everyone really is a "SUBJECT".
    Of course, once they have some dirt on you then you get upgraded "SUSPECT".

    So basically some rich guy wanted to know if he had to share his charging station with the unwashed lower classes.

    To be fair, it is a genuine concern. It takes me about 4 minutes to fill my car.

    In the last decade, I've had to wait for a pump only a couple times, and the longest wait was only a couple cars. (Maybe 10 minutes).

    If the new model is cheaper and a hit, demand for charging will rapidly outstrip supply.

    It takes an hour to charge a Tesla at a superstation. Its only going to take a small surge in electric vehicle to overwhelm a stations capacity. Get just 2-3 cars in front of you, and there goes half a DAY.

    They just need to monitor the batteries (# of charges, ser. #, etc.) and then have a station that swaps the discharged battery with a charged one of similar age and condition. Then they could be charging whole racks of batteries all day. Most likely have a proprietary mount from below the car so you drive in like an oil change station and sit while they do the swap. Premium members would always get the youngest batteries, a latte, windshield washed, etc..

    There is a very nice upside of automation. Without workers to screw over the CEO will not have any cheap ways to increase profits and no-one to blame when the company does something illegal.

    But on the upside, once caught doing something illegal you can do a low level format of the CEO and upgrade to a newer version!
