Suggest alternative title: Man Shoots Self in Foot, Complains About Pain This article might have made a little sense in 2020 when Bolts were among the most common EVs on the road, but now it’s just disingenuous. To make things worse, this is public radio. “Balanced” coverage my ass. I get that...

So you did see the crowds, lots of people at/ near their cars, the flags for a big event… Don’t be an ass here because of one stupid detail. And if you read her Tweet she even said there was an event.

Yeah I did twice. That’s where I saw the people literally camped in their car. And the crowds of people and the flags. Did you watch it?

People, here, on Twitter, everywhere. People love to vilify others and form righteous mobs based on little to no evidence. There were flags. People camping in their cars and pretty clearly a big crowd. It clearly wasn’t a normal Tuesday afternoon.

Absolutely!! I don’t think this is. Bunch of AH looking to piss off EV owners. It’s. Bunch of people who showed up for an event and needed a parking place.

I think people need to keep the context in mind. This was an event, very possibly a grand opening. Looked like one person had camped in their car like retail nuts often do to save a buck. Maybe you think putting on a big event only to end up with pictures on the front page of the local paper...

Sure. But if I own a business and I’m holding a big event, I’m not towing cars or passing out fines. It’s just bad business. From the looks of the flags up, very possibly an opening event.

I’m not suggesting it is ok. Just pointing out it is inevitable and that the stores have zero motivation to enforce this. Don’t put chargers in attractive parking areas. There is a reason Handicapped spaces are in the close up spots. There is no reason charger stalls should be close to the...

The top picture is at a Bucees. They call the people parked in the Supercharger “customers” and very few businesses want to tow customers vehicles, it cuts down on repeat visits.

Kind of inevitable when you commingle parking with charging. If the charging stalls are more convenient than parking or the lot is full, people will use the charging spaces to park. From the sound of it this was an opening event and quite busy. Don’t put chargers in the best parking spaces or...

This isn’t true. Power generation has been coming online at a rate much faster than EV penetration. The grid capacity hasn’t been increasing largely because when new capacity comes online, they retire coal and NG generation capacity. For example, look at New Mexico over just the past 5...

In other news, Ogre is able to levitate things with his mind. Independent verification to come “eventually”.

CleanerWatt suggests GFT is producing 100,000 cells per day. Fremont is way ahead of this right now. That’s roughly 85 - 100 trucks worth per day. These numbers are a total swag on his part, but the numbers fit. In January Tesla said they had 1 line running, not clear if this is with all 4...

Crazy thing about solar power is the rate of production is increasing each year, as does the cost to produce them. Before long, we are going to have more solar surplus power than we know what to do with and some companies will be able to negotiate free or near free power from the power...

We have an effectively infinite power source available. We just need to build more collectors to convert it to useful power. Literally Teslas mission.

that post was total — inclauding Fremont which started first and had a huge head start. The 10m mark is for Texas only which had a much later start. Notice that part has 2 big groups of people where the more recent only has one?

It’s grifters. As in there are going to be a large number of chargers built and installed with the goal of collecting government funds and little else. We’ve already seen this happening, it’s a huge part of why non-Tesla EV chargers are crap. They aren’t reliable because reliability hasn’t Been...

Texas has only been producing cells for ~6 months.

They set guidelines in their own legislation. They should use that standard or set better guidelines. They’ve now set up this perverse scenario where they are very likely to be funding a charging network which only benefits grifters.
