on dec 31, 2024 they will open one ccs plug at harris ranch

So you’re clueless. Thought so. I never said farmers are stupid, but if you think Joe blow farmer is going to fix his own modern engine you’re dreaming. That’s why John Deere has j men mechanics that go to additional schooling from the company to learn specific engine systems. Your comments are very stupid, stick to skateboarding chum

And revenge porn is illegal in many jurisdictions…

It really pains me that this is even a thing.

Writing few lines of crab could risk the life :) They just want to make stories and make their product goes viral before everyone could realized it was just another twitter overhaul

yeah, everything is driven by greed, it is a crazy road to progress in the last centuries.

I totally read Bing's side of the conversation in HAL's voice.

Haha but that never stops them when it comes to climate change.

My point isn't whether or not AI will be impactful, but how it's being handled and marketed at the moment. My point is its being hyped in dishonest ways by marketers and rushed into application even though it isn't ready for that yet.

> they don't want to be dependent on Europe for anything (see: US spending trillions of dollars on chips manufacturing when they could just buy from Europe instead)

Things like food and microchips are vital to the persistence of the American state. Every country should strive for self-sufficiency in those areas and some other significant industrial capacities. God forbid more wars break out in Europe and we were dependent on them for our chip manufacture; well we just have wait until that war is over (or end it ourselves) if we want chips... or we can see that problem coming and build our own chip factories. The same thing goes with food and that would logically extend to the farming equipment used to create the high yields to feed a country that takes up most of a continent.

It's not unreasonable to want all of this done domestically.

there will be a charge for non-tesla use, I guarantee it.

Humanity willl kill itself lol 😂

You could say the same thing about electricity in late 19th century or about cryptocurrency 2 years ago, so I don’t know…!

I am surprised that this was possible to happen in Germany, let alone that it actually did...

There is nothing wrong with lobbying. Writing to your congresscritter to say "tell the cops to stop shooting unarmed black teenagers", congratulations, makes you a lobbyist. There's literally no way to stop lobbying without also trampling on the first amendment.

The scary thing is we have already passed the point where we can no longer tell if who you are speaking to is human or AI

Right I should have specified the USA.

Haha, arn’t you great at word play, if you boil down what this actual means, it has the same endgoal of anti-trust / monopoly regulation.

But we so lucky to have you to give your critique of the buzzword for the argument.

Btw buzzword is referring to the whole phrase not just a word, it’s so confusing I know!

This. Deepfake them doing the things they are preaching against. It doesn't even need to be porn.

> Because there WASN'T a fast charging DC infrastructure or standard when they started building their network.

That was then. This is now.

And for the record, I DC fast charged my Nissan LEAF before Tesla even built a single Supercharger. No, not using CCS, but still.

So suggesting Tesla had to decide to go it alone doesn't work. They chose to.

> At this point you'd be asking them to retrofit thousands of stations at their cost because the standard is now set

If they want to ask for financial aid to adapt chargers I'm fine with that. If instead of retrofitting their chargers they simply are prevented from building any new ones that only work with Teslas I'm fine with that.

For a person who is on my side you sure are making up a whole lot of roadblocks to my side. Why?

Yes, I'm saying Tesla should have to decide:

Is CCS infrastructure an asset?

If yes. Then it's time for them to join in it.

If no, then ban Teslas from using CCS infrastructure. Ban them from other (DC) chargers other than their own monopolistic network.

If their idea is "it's useful so we want our cars to use it but we're not going to help anyone else" then they can go hang.

Honestly, does anyone take him seriously anymore? It seems like he's made one really bad decision after another. He's certainly not the "big thinker" he (apparently) thinks himself to be.

I never said anything about forcing Tesla to use CCS for their own cars.

Yes he did, one of six principle founders. He was also the founder of SpaceX. He didn’t found Tesla, but it was just three guys with an idea when he joined.
