It is important to use the Oxford Comma because it is commonly accepted, fits with tradition, and is just correct.

This is a pretty dumb idea. This article is from researchers at a University. Has anyone done this for real without a grant subsidy?

I understand the interest in maximizing space utilization, but this just doesn’t make any sense.

Some replies indicate field setups for solar should take priority and tractor/equipment systems should adapt to these new systems.

Crazy stuff.

No, I think you got it. You either have a lot of work to install ductwork or you're going to be doing lots of mini splits with ugly lines all over the exterior.

New comment by leemelone in "Tesla created secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints"

leemelone — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 17:02:14 +0000

and that should be obvious right? Let's say you're familiar with how fast your car eats gas and you drive around on flats all the time.

When you take it into the mountains, it's not surprising that your gas gauge goes down a bit faster when you're pushing that gas pedal a little further than usual.

Perhaps the takeaway is that EVs shouldn't so prominently display the range as part of the "gas" gauge the way they tend to do.

I'm floored that people are willing to keep accumulating debt at these rates. I have a feeling it can't go on much longer...
