It'd make the world a better place, but a big company would make slightly less money, therefore it's unthinkable to even attempt it.

Plot twist: the dude is colourblind and thinks that's brown.
I'm not sure Lemmy has many users old enough to get that reference.
Depends whether Elon made the decision or Captain Sensible snuck in and did it while Elon was playing with Twitter.
It's not like Tesla doesn't have smart people, they just don't get to make the decisions some of the time.
If you live in an apartment and own a car, you're parking it somewhere. Put the chargers there.
What does that have to do with grid demand?
We've got enough excess supply coming online as people install solar that we're seeing the wholesale electricity price occasionally flip negative. We might not have enough power to satisfy 2035's demand today, but we can accommodate a lot more EVs than we've got on the road.
The argument against your example scales, though. You can do demand management with EV chargers, either at the household level or grid scale. Unless your power supply is running so close to the edge it can't cope with existing normal usage, adding EV charging in the midnight to 6am period when power consumption is otherwise really low works just fine. And nobody cares if their car took 6 hours to charge instead of 5, because they sleep through it.
It's a joke about Toyota's attitude towards hydrogen and batteries. Fuel cell EVs almost make sense as plug in hybrids, with 40 miles of battery range for daily use and the hydrogen system for longer trips, but that would be blasphemy against the holy fuel cell!
It's from the 380kg listed here and the Mirai's 5kg hydrogen capacity.
Sure, there's also the 'super-insulated, cryogenic tanker trucks' with super cooled liquid hydrogen, but you were claiming nothing special needed to be built?
Yeah it is. The training data skews white, so they added a "make some people non-white" kludge. It wouldn't be needed if there was actually racial diversity in the training data.
