  • Stuff I’ve heard on naysays:

    “The battery will blow up!!!”

    No, it won’t if it’s a solid state battery - solid state batteries barely even notice such a charging rate, their temperature might change by half a degree from this monster charging rate.

    “You can’t supply the power because lines”

    Modern large commercial buildings already suck down this amount and more.

    “The grid overall can’t take 1MW”

    So, the 1,000 MW nuclear reactor can’t provide 1MW? How about a reactor station with 4 units cranking 4000 MW? How about we add another 1000 in renewables? How about another 800MW with a single gas turbine? How about adding roof solar and a battery bank below ground for the charging station to supplement the power? We haven’t even touched hydro or geo yet. Making power is not a problem, and we’ll build out the power as we need it.













  • Stupid is as stupid does. A significant portion of trucking accidents involve the truck driver missing a cue because they were mid gear change.

    While it is good to have a person learn to drive stick, it is really hard to get people to learn how to drive if they have zero interest in actually learning how to be a driver, no matter what transmission.

    I personally like dual clutch transmissions and daily’ed a car to 175k miles with one, yet I went out of my way to find a manual version of my current car.
