In at least some states, to sell more than XX cars per year, you must have a dealer license.
A company vehicle is really no different than a personal vehicle, at least not in this context. They own a truck (titled to them), they can sell a truck via private sale. They don't get any sort of dealer perks (such as not being listed in the history as an owner), they are just selling their property.
A half gallon of cold brew coffee is up to $7. I can make it myself for a fraction of that, but it's more labor for me.
I mean, only a little bit of labor. Even with premium grounds, I can't imagine it costing more than 50 cents to make a half gallon. As for labor, just throw it all in a pitcher, give it a quick shake or stir, then leave it in the fridge for a couple of days. Pour it through a standard filter. I use the basket from my regular coffee maker.
Making your own cold brew is one of the most cost-efficient DIY foods out there.
I'm assuming you mean when she lost the primary to Barack Obama in 2008. It's hard to argue that it was proof that she was unpopular when Obama went on to win the general election by such a huge margin, and even his reelection by a comfortable margin. It just serves as proof that Obama was extremely popular, moreso than her.
2016, OTOH, showed that the people (through a skewed system) preferred Trump to her. That's a hard reality to dismiss.
You really wouldn't. That's how we got into this mess in the first place
That does make a compelling campaign slogan. While I assume Musk's statement should not be taken literally, IIRC he made similar statements about Twitter. Shortly after, there were countless reports of how awful it suddenly became to work at Twitter.
~6 months ago, they were completely proprietary. It's being opened up now, but it doesn't change the history. Tesla home chargers would not work on anything else. The cars came with an adapter to allow them to use J1772 chargers. The adapters to use a Tesla level 1/2 charger on a J1772 car are still hard to find, and mostly from sketchy sources.
Tesla was also forced to adopt (or at least become compatible with) CCS2 in Europe. It's not unreasonable to think that it could happen in the US. Releasing NACS puts them ahead of the curve rather than behind.
I was referring to the chargers (home and other). I know there's a rich history, but I also know that it wasn't being released free and clear when CCS was being developed.
I acknowledge that they are now releasing NACS to the public. In other news, Apple is now using using USB-C. These may or may not be related.
You can 100% just look to Tesla to see what will happen. Tesla has been following the Apple model ("but on cars") since the beginning.

It does, but that's because the 12v starter battery was already present. The electric starter predates any electronics. This just made an easy and available source of power for anything else that came later.
There's actually a movement to switch to a higher voltage, such as 48v, but there is a ton of inertia to overcome with that.
I think you missed the point. EVs also have a 12v, for the same basic reason of starting the vehicle. But the bigger factor is that EVs are often plugged in, which will automatically warm the battery.
Yes, but the nutrients in raw are not as available as cooked. They're present in higher quantities, but a lot will pass through undigested.
Calculating how much is destroyed by cooking vs how much is made available is going to depend heavily on the food and nutrients in question.
But I will say that if you need more or less of a nutrient, you will get much further by changing the food vs how it's prepared.
Why can't they just copy Tesla's model? Or does Amazon operating a storefront on behalf of the manufacturer preclude that?
