It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don’t have road tolls. They’re used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.

I have had a few ads popup in it,

How is this not cause enough to instantly drop them!?

They missed a great opportunity by not calling it Draudio/Drawdio…

Money is power/influence, that has always been the case. Not sure why you felt the need to put that in quotes as if it wasn’t universally applicable.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy…prices vary by the hour, and that was only the single most expensive hour in that period though, and it was way above normal. Normally it peaks around 0.35USD/kWh with normal daytime prices around 0.2USD/kWh and nighttime prices around 0.1USD/kWh.

My total electricity consumption in the 5-9pm period is only around 2kWh though, so despite high prices it’s not much money.

Hah, that’s rookie numbers man…we just hit $1.2USD/kWh the other day during the “dinner rush” between 5pm-9pm

The company’s solution has an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg for lithium ternary batteries, 40% more than current batteries. However, the report said charging speed and cycle life are not quite where they need to be.

That’s corporate speak for “This is far from where it needs to be”

Volume control is also accessible from the steering wheel on pretty much any car produced within the last 15 years, and certainly any with a touch screen. I’m not comparing to steering wheel controls.

I’m comparing it to fiddling with AC settings on a centre console like everyone seems to me mentioning in this post.

When you’re fumbling to find the right switch/knob by feel your focus is still not on driving. It is at best very marginally better, and probably worse because you now think you’re still paying attention to driving even though you really aren’t. It’s still illegal to text while driving, even on an old phone with a physical keyboard, specifically for this reason.

Fisker is nothing but a conman, always has been. His MO is literally to start a company, secure funding, make a personal fortune and then abandon the bankrupt shell and leave customers hanging.

Wow…that thing is straight up nightmare fuel as it turns to walk back to get another whatever it’s moving.

Must be a typo in the account name, which is what I’m seeing then.

Huh, thats weird. My client says wheelchar 🤷‍♂️

Weird, the display name in my Lemmy client doesn’t have the i, which is why I made the comment.

Wheelchar, not wheelchair

It’s the reference to specific store names that (to me) seem very specific to Australia. McDonalds etc. are ubiquitous worldwide.

Yeah this seems very little universally applicable and more or less only applicable to Aussies, so you can’t blame them.

You just linked the same video as OP

I do have one, but I haven’t had any experiences that would make me sit down and cry or anything traumatic. He’s a handful (and then some) at times, but definitely more good times than bad ones.

Aha, I thought it was a reference to getting beaten, partly because of the other comment part I mentioned.
