I‘ll not shitpost about substandard self driving cars  , but I will categorically state that touchscreens are an inferior interface between humans and rapidly moving machinery and that anyone who advocates for touch screen cars deserves to get thrown under the self driving bus.

Zero VGS posted:The point is 150,000 Volts have been sold in the whole 9 years of their existence. If only half of the people who've put down $1000 on the Model 3 actually buy it, then Volt has already been outsold. None of Tesla's millennial market cares about how 1-percenter the loving interior looks, they care about being able to drive around on the highway by tapping on an iPad: https://www.tesla.com/blog/introducing-navigate-autopilot You just keep being massively ignorant. Model 3s don't function, their interior design is worse than a Yugo that's been robbed, and the bumpers fall off when it rains. What we were talking about is the Bolt, and GM's sold inifinitely more functional Bolts than there are Model 3s ordered (and remember, vast amounts of the orders aren't being filled because Herr Elon decreed that the $35k model is going to be on hold indefinitely). You can't even drive with iPad, unless you love being rammed into roadside obstructions at high speed. "Autopilot" is a recipe for death, while the Chevy Bolt will actually carry you to where you're trying to go.

Maybe so, but I suspect most of the Model 3's are here (So. Cal). The numbers I see on the roads (I commute in Studio City by bicycle) is impressive as heck. They all just SHOWED UP.

If anyone wants to nerd out over the Model 3's battery, this guy did a teardown earlier in the year. It's the most energy-dense mass production battery in the world and has some neat features like a fire-retardant goo that foams up if a cell were to catch fire. The Tesla Powerwall and grid-size batteries are probably using these cells going forwards as well. The guy presenting is certainly interesting... he looks like he's on death's door, he's a republican, and you have to speed the video up to 1.25 or 1.5 to make him talk at normal person speed, but he owns a long-running EV conversion shop so he really knows his poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvCOcBynlq0

The Tesla Powerwall and grid-size batteries are probably using these cells going forwards as well. The Powerwall already uses the same cells as the Model 3. That's why there's such a delay on Powerwalls right now. Tesla views the model 3 to be more important long-term so when they passed the 200,000 vehicles shipped in July and the timer started on their tax credit halving, they said that no new Powerwall orders would be delivered until 2019 and diverted everything they could to the Model 3.

I don't this accounts for storage: Carbon emissions and costs associated with subsidizing New York nuclear instead of replacing it with renewables Highlights • A comparison of costs and CO2 emissions of New York's nuclear power and with renewable scenarios until 2050 is provided. • Shutting nuclear down today and replacing it with onshore wind will save $7.9 billion until 2050. • Renewable scenarios lead to CO2 savings up to 27.4 Mt until 2050. • Reinvesting cost savings from renewable scenarios into additional wind capacities will increase CO2 savings up to 32.5 Mt. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652618326829

It's an interesting gambit in that paper, to claim that shutting nuclear down Today doesn't mean massive increases in natural gas and coal usage.

at the point where even the UCS shifts its focus from “nuclear dangerous” to “but please don’t decommission all the reactors early we still need them” being more anti nuke than anti coal is an atomically hot take to make as a climate researcher/activist

Why shut down functioning nuke plants while you're still burning coal. His response: Jobs. Claimed a lot of workers in the German coal industry. Hmm... have I heard this somewhere else?
