<p>I’m sure there are countless examples to the contrary, but I recently submitted feedback regarding an issue that I was experiencing in Final Cut Pro. Within a week, a member of the Final Cut Pro team contacted me and asked for a copy of my video editing files so they could replicate the issue. I sent them the files, they confirmed the issue, and the issue was fixed in the next release.<p>I was very pleasantly surprised.</p>

<p>> I think Charli crossed that line with the success of her album Brat last year.<p>In Hollywood, that line gets crossed at a surprisingly low level. I am friends with Josh Sussman, who played Jacob Ben Israel on Glee. I occasionally visit him in LA, and we can’t go <i>anywhere</i> in public without getting constantly stopped by people wanting photos. It’s exhausting.</p>

<p>The Plaid can only output its maximum power at 100% state-of-charge (or close to it).<p>As state-of-charge decreases, so does the overall battery pack voltage. Since the motors can only pull some peak number of amps, doing so at lower pack voltage will always deliver less total power.<p>I own a Model S Plaid and I used to pay close attention to the OBD-II data, out of curiosity.</p>
