post COVID posted:The US privatized a lot of research and now we can't make it to the moon. Extra funny because it's carrying the cremated remains of 70 dead rich people (and 1 rich person's dead dog) who thought it would be fun to use the moon as their graveyard, and it comes on the heels of India's success with Chandrayaan-3. Appropriate for the thread because We’re doing our part

Trabisnikof posted:golf carts are the way to ween Americans off of personally owned vehicles. lets us downsize the infrastructure and literal footprint of personal transport, while providing a slow off-ramp to car culture. In SoCal, sure. You can’t drive a snow covered road in -20 weather in a golf cart.

Also small town hicks and farmers loving love golf carts and Gators and drive them everywhere in the summer for short trips so you don’t even need to convince people they just don’t work for most use cases outside of urban environments and in mild weather.

Ardennes posted:Investing in the Chinese stock market is usually high risk just because the Chinese government doesn't place a priority on it, especially regards regulations. Honestly, that is the way to do it, but yeah Tecent/Netease stock dropped like 20% because they put restrict regulations on gatcha games (absolutely justified). Car makers (and EVs) perhaps are more sustainable just because they are targeting a large international market but I wouldn't say there are zero risks. i just looked up the yields on chinese debt and lmao

And by that I mean that the range suffers but the superchargers and public chargers still work Same. We picked up an ID4 two months ago, and I had it parked at the airport in Detroit all of last week. It lost virtually no charge, and generally didn’t care much about being parked outside in 0F / -20-30 windchill here in NW Ohio. On the flip side, it’s great because you can get into a cozy car in the morning, without running an ICE for an extended period of time.

Teabag Dome Scandal posted:I was watching some episode of House Hunters International in Amsterdam or one of those european cities with a shitload of bike infrastructure and they had the agent driving around the hunters in some sort of golf cart like ride that apparently can use bike lanes. That's how you get more bike lanes in America. As much as they annoy me the electric scooters help with this too I think

This was a good article on the Tesla freeze thing: https://www.theautopian.com/heres-w...gos-deep-freeze The tl;dr is that aside from batteries being bad in cold it's likely the charger plugs were getting frozen so they couldn't give out the juice plus long wait times meant the pre-conditioning on the batteries that help them charge quickly wasn't working right.

Ardennes posted:The question is if you really should keep ICEs around except for the most extreme situations. The issue with EVs and their carbon footprint is largely the result of their huge batteries, and that most countries still use a bunch of fossil fuels, but those are fixable problems. You really don't need a huge battery in most cases (and swappable batteries are already a thing) and constantly having someone use a compact EV with a sodium-ion battery is honestly an improvement. Tire rubber is the primary source of micro and nanoplastics poisoning the world's water EVs bad. Cars bad.

Cpt_Obvious posted:Spirit airlines just lost half its value after their merger with JetBlue got stopped in court. gotta say, im kinda surprised. it's very funny that a ton of wsbies/speculative anyways airlines are dogshit business, all the money is in the microtransaction paypig mileage point system, not the actual flying operations. spirit is losing money hands over fists and dont even have a gamified paypig mileage system that people spend $$$ buying into. spirit is almost certainly toast in a year or two. jblu isn't great either tbf but at least doing better than spirit.

Paradoxish posted:Batteries don't do well with temperature extremes in general. Regular car batteries weaken in cold weather too, which is why people with old/damaged batteries suddenly need to replace them when the temperature drops. The cold weather isn't actually damaging the battery, but the reduced output means that a weak one isn't going to be able to start your car anymore. meanwhile, in Saskatchewan... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL9zveDz8H0

When I lived in the southwest many decades ago, I remember a car battery exploding in the parking lot of one of my lovely jobs. That was like an m80 went off. I wonder what a tesla detonating would do.
