1000 charge cycles. If you charge twice a week, that's 500 weeks or a little less than 10 years. There's no mention of degradation over time.

But back-of-the-napkin, it means for this to be cost-effective, they may want to come up with some sort of replaceable or battery swap system. Not sure anyone will want to buy a vehicle that needs a massive battery retrofit every 8-10 years.

There's a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it'll be packed.

Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.

Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.

Years ago. Was visiting a client on-site. Meeting ran late and had to race home. Popped into a 'natural' food store to get something. Grabbed a package of pre-made 'fresh' shrimp spring rolls out of one of those open coolers. Ate in the car.

A 1.5 hour drive turned into a four hour nightmare with all the unplanned stops.

Never again.

Robert Caro's "The Power Broker."

There's also a 50-year anniversary, 12-part, 99% Invisible series diving into it. Looking forward to listening to those alongside each section.

So... Hyundai Automotive signed a deal with Hyundai Electric to supply them with electricity.

Reading that was a rollercoaster of horror and confusion, ending in relief.

This is pretty sad.

I have a number of elderly relatives. The one thing I keep telling them is if they ever get approached, to contact their kids, or check with another family member before responding. So far, there haven't been any problems.

But I heard an in-law's parents in a different state lost a big chunk of money to one of these scams and may now lose their home.

Not a WP dev. Just a (techie) user.

This whole thing seems so unnecessary. FOSS devs would love to get a fraction of the goodwill being squandered here.

 

Finally, a good use for drone and AI/ML technology!

Not sure if true, but someone raised an issue when this was first announced. That you can no longer refuse to unlock your phone when stopped, since you'll have to unlock it to show your digital driver's license.

 

Excerpt from 'Dark Wire.' It's a good read.
