That was a rebranded Toyota bz-whatever. This would be the first designed and produced inhouse

If it makes you feel better, there’s a good chance the deer died from those injuries. Between blood loss, infections, and whatever physical injuries, nature is not very forgiving.

Sorry, you (probably) agreed to binding arbitration. No class actions or even public spectacle allowed

FWIW, it was a janky range extender rather than a full combustion drivetrain. Effectively turning the Model 3 into a plug-in (series) hybrid.

It’s not the worst idea in itself - EREVs are very much a thing that meets some people’s needs. But trying to retrofit an existing Model 3 into one seems difficult, complicated, unreliable, and most importantly, expensive. All to make it happen on a brand that heavily markets that they are electric only. On top of that, they chose the cheaper “affordable” model instead of the luxury model, meaning would-be consumers are going to be much more price-conscious.

If it wouldn’t expose their incompetence in a competitive (and well-established) marketplace, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Musk pivot to fossil.

While that would work, it’s massively overkill for the original question about whether the water is getting hot. There are much simpler and definitive ways to get the answer.

Now, if it’s broken and they want to fix it, multimeter all the way

Most good trackers can be used completely free of charge. But you have to work your way up to them, proving yourself as worthy on a lower tier tracker.

There are plenty of guides on this. Most recommend starting with an open interview on RED or MAM, then using the invite forums once you qualify.

You can also watch for open sign-ups. TL opens its doors a few times per year (and usually during December), and it’s at least as good as the public trackers. Sometimes these have invite forums, but usually not. TL does not.

You will, however, want to spend money on a VPN with port forwarding. This should run ~$30/year.

VPN with a working Killswitch or network binding.

I used to have a VPN where their “network lock” feature treated “reconnecting” the same as “connected”. Meaning that every time the connection dropped, everything was being sent in the clear.

Seedbox is also an appropriate answer.

You basically can, albeit not in pill form. There’s a whole category of complete meal replacement options, mostly in the form of shakes. The best known is Soylent by Rosa Labs, but there are dozens of others targeting every nutritional profile around. Most are a fraction of the cost of even the most basic foods.

Strangely, most of those people will still not even try these.

Whatever you bring is part of your “costume” for the interview. This is true for your clothes, any binder or notepad you bring, and yes even a drink. It all gets measured (even if subconsciously) against the company culture and job requirements. For customer-facing roles, where an iced coffee would be inappropriate, it’s probably a bad idea to bring one.

One thing that other commenters (and the article) are missing is they are making the assumption that an interview is one-way. That you truly want the job, and you’re just doing whatever it takes to get there. And if you’re unemployed/desperate, that might be the case.

But if you’re interviewing them as well, it’s really important to locate the bullshit right away. If you won’t be a good fit, getting the job will be bad for everyone. This is especially true if you’re leaving a decent job elsewhere. If an iced coffee is a deal breaker, is that the culture you want to step into?

I’ve seen places that refuse to hire men with long hair, regardless of style. You can imagine what the rest of the culture is like. Going in with long (professional-looking) hair can bring out the problems faster and in a way that no other interview tactic would. Getting rejected here is dodging a bullet. Same with a coffee.

The 50% figure is gas-only vehicles. Can anyone explain to me why, outside of culture war bullshit, these even exist anymore? It seems that hybrids are better in nearly every single way, and nearly every single circumstance.

The only thing I can find is lower complexity, since it doesn’t need the electric drive system.

Yeah, it definitely would’ve been a more direct route draped across the hood.

My understanding is that Chinese EVs aren’t technically banned in the US. Rather, they have (and have long had) extremely steep tariffs, making them non-competitive.

They probably still need to complete things like crash testing and emissions certification. These become a requirement after imports hit a certain number.

My guess is that Google hasn’t imported enough of them to reach that threshold yet.
