I don’t understand what you are asking.

>What EVs can do LA to Salt Lake City with one full charging stop?

I said that there are at least ten non-Tesla EVs that have a rated range over 300 miles.

LA to Salt Lake City is ~690 miles, half of which is 345 miles.

Few EV owners actually get their car’s rated range, and you’d have to be nuts to intentionally pull into a charging station with zero battery. Your scenario really calls for a car that has a rated range of ~400 miles, which, AFAIK, is currently limited to the Model S and the Lucid Air.

The longest range configuration of a Model S has a 405 mile rated range, though you’re not going to get that on a long road trip. The Lucid Air’s rated range is 516 miles. No idea how that bears out in reality, though I suspect it’s similarly less-efficient at interstate highway speeds. (Actual speeds, not speed limits.) I’ll be test driving one soon.

I am a reporter and I cover law enforcement & crime. Are you willing to provide more information about this?

I am not sure this is accurate, and it’s similarly unclear to me what exactly you are referring to.

I don’t know what, specifically, you mean by “withhold police protection.” Would you provide some examples? And what evidence do you have that such action happen “often” as a response to police reform?

People vastly underestimate the time and expense involved with “just posting videos to YouTube.”

(If it’s such easy money, why aren’t they doing it…)

Right on. I always tell people that I can’t pay my employees with subs and likes.

For most videos, an overwhelming majority of views come from traffic suggested by YouTube in some manner (home page, sidebar, after a video). I have millions of subscribers across a few channels. Subscriber notification and feeds invariably account for a very-low-single-digit percent of video views.

But that’s not the end of the craziness.

About a year ago, that video was suddenly and inexplicably deemed by YouTube as unsuitable for all advertisers. I appealed, but they stuck with their decision.

In the year since, that video has brought in ~$80.

While I have found success on YouTube, I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody who doesn’t have a strong track record of attracting and maintaining a large audience. YouTube is the most saturated market on the planet, and and at the end of the day, you are subject to the whims of a largely-opaque algorithm. It is not possible to succeed on YouTube without significant effort, but significant effort doesn’t guarantee success. Moreover, the connection between effort and reward is unpredictable, and it’s sometimes not there at all. You can be flying high today, only to have it all change tomorrow, without any explanation.

People understand that high-quality content is necessary for success on YouTube, but they often lose sight of the fact that it is not sufficient. Not only do you have to create quality content, but you have to create content that people want to watch more than everything else that is available to them on YouTube - which is obviously very, very hard.

That almost never happens. Rather, individual videos are demonetized- or deemed unsuitable for all advertisers. In fairness, that can easily happen to an overwhelming majority of a channel’s videos, but it is important, IMO, to speak accurately about what is going on.

Last I checked, they still are. What other company makes a 3m TB4 cable?

How did you learn that? (I think you’re right.)

That is totally contrary to my experience. Maybe I hang out with good people... or maybe my friends and I aren't as smart as I thought :P

Both computers are extraordinarily fast, but I still spend a lot of time waiting.

I would be willing to spend a lot of money:

(1) to reduce that time, (2) to significantly increase my laptop's battery life, and/or (3) to significantly increase the size of my laptop's already-rather-gargantuan 8TB SSD.

Maybe I should become a programmer. Sounds like there's less waiting :P

Come again? There are at least ten non-Tesla EVs that have a rated range of 300+ miles, and DC fast charging is everywhere. Look on PlugShare and filter out Tesla connectors.

Tesla is not the only game in town. And I say that as someone who recently bought a Model S Plaid.

(So much so that I bought two of them.)

The lifeguard has police authority?

I can't see that happening in the United States.

I don't know a single person who would be happy with the government controlling when and where they can drive, in the manner you describe.

Even if it was net-positive for society.
