Actually it's the opposite. They're claiming he hadn't received/approved the newest draft, which is an insane justification when you think about it, like 'we didn't realize that he hadn't approved the changes the we independently made to his speech'

Funnily enough, his hairline resembles many of the product seals I've unsuccessfully tried to remove.

Yeah, it's a possibility but I'm incredibly skeptical that the bans will actually be implemented by those dates. It's real easy to make a claim about the future, but it's another to actually follow through with it. At the pace charging networks and grid upgrades are rolling out, I don't think we'll be ready even 20 or 30 years in the future.

Not only that but AFAIK no current EV can do wireless charging so who do they expect to use this? I should probably read the article.

Having the ability to see it versus having it pushed in your face in the app and in weekly emails are two completely separate things.

The Dell Optiplex micro form factor might be a good option. You can get them cheap on the second hand market (at least here in the US).

It was forked so long ago that people born on that date are now legally able to drive on public roads.

Which is still an issue. "Opting-out" means opting-out not halfway opting-in.

Enabling internet access is also a huge pain unless you're willing to raw dog the entire internet.

I followed the instructions and opted out yet I'm still seeing what my users watched along with getting emails listing the same. I'm certain none of my users are interested in this and likely skipped through the pop-up without reading/comprehending it.

The market isn't rapidly moving away from them, though, as they're some of the most popular vehicles on the road. Currently, EVs only make up a single digit percentage of new cars sold in the US and the infrastructure isn't there to support mass adoption yet.

By all accounts, the BZ4x is a piece of crap and I suspect it's little more than a light test-bed and compliance car similar to the HHR and PT Cruiser in their day. Toyota developed it with Subaru so they could split the cost and have something in the segment even if it's underwhelming. They're likely waiting for other manufacturers to iron out all the EV kinks along with further developing their battery tech before committing to any real design. Being conservative in their designs is what they've done for decades and has served them well thus far.
