Rivian has been collecting charging session data for a while now. That's how they know the reliability of Electrify America is terrible. We all knew this, but they will now be able to show it in-vehicle. We can avoid derated, unavailable, and generally bad chargers much more…

When I hear people say we are doomed, I try to tell them about how much progress has been made over the last decade from the combined mix of technology progress and policy (both of which influence one another).

We have a long way to go, but it is quite remarkable...

It was great to join Jesse D. Jenkins and Robinson Meyer to take a VERY deep dive into the US 1Q 2024 EV market data. And this is a challenge given that Tesla sales are estimated at the regional level!

Comprehensive pod on how far the US market has to go, but w/ some bright spots

Yet another top official in Mayor Eric Adams Adams’ administration has resigned before he finishes his first term at City Hall.

Unexpected article of the day.

British shepherds have discovered that spraying Axe deodorant (it's called Lynx there) gets male sheep to calm down + stop ramming each other.

Bro, this is a crime

I don't think I have the words to describe this article, or the events it describes, adequately.

Read it ... on the role of insecure men in a changing world, Christianism, #LGBTQ fear, and a WHOLE lot of other stuff. It's ... ummmmmm ... well, read it.

As the founder of 'Concerned Women for America,' she organized an army of ‘kitchen-table lobbyists’ to oppose the Equal Rights Amendment, abortion, and #LGBTQ rights.

She's dead. Her damage will live on. Bless her heart.

What incredible brass. The CEO of this here site claims charging new users to post will help prevent bots. Yeah, perhaps. But ...

Three House GOP members came to the Supreme Court whining about being fined for evading Capitol metal detectors after the Jan 6th insurrection, after the House Ethics Committee denied their appeal.

The Supreme Court told them to pound sand. Good.

If true, hugely encouraging. I hope it continues.

I've told several friends whose underemployed, college-educated kids still live at home to get them into plumbing or other trades. Big $$$, continual demand. They reacted as if I'd suggested p0rn or worse.

Huh. So #Tesla has slashed the U.S. price of the so-called 'Full Self Driving' package for its #EV models by half. (It does not allow the car to drive itself; human supervision is required.)

Thoughts?
