Quite a lot don't have chargers at all. In California there are 303 Walmarts, none have walmart chargers, 4 in northern/central California are listed as coming soon. I was thinking one did, but it probably is chargers put in by the landlord of the shopping center and not Walmart, and now that I...

Looks like the guests aren't robots. Part of the guests probably are members not logged in. There are also probably a lot of people reading stuff here, but not posting, so they don't bother making an account.

That means avoidable by one party or the other, not by both. Someone rear ends you, or backs into you in a parking lot, etc, most likely there is little or nothing you could do to avoid it. Every accident I've been in has been one of those 2. I have family that was still waiting in a turn...

With state incentives, you'd have to look it up. There are currently no state level incentives in California, there is a smaller local AQMD incentive, but you specifically have to buy from a local dealer.

I expect the advertising to expand greatly once they actually have trucks rolling off the line. For one thing they could then in one shot show 20+ different trucks, in as many colors and externally visibly different sets of accessories, suv, different heights, wheels, tires, etc. Right now they...

Not really optimism, just observation. Their running through simulations has been mentioned, and you can see the spoilers, and that the door handles, while not like Tesla, do not stick out.

It doesn't take a crash to slow things down. Driver looks away from road, doesn't even have to be a phone, and when they look back they are too close to the vehicle ahead, and hit the brake, causing the driver behind them to hit the brake, and so on.

There are a bunch of little things Late has done with the classic pickup form factor to improve aero. They probably ran a lot of iterations through simulations to reach what they did. Some obvious ones are look at how the door handles don't stick out, and the mini spoilers at the end of the roof...

As far as where advertising has been, I actually have seen one on TV, the one comparing the Slate to a pizza, that you can make it how you want it. Online, the ads seem to be targeted. If you don't have privacy settings turned up and click on or search for Slate or truck stuff, you see Slate ads...

On what do urban people need a truck for, you can't even buy a TV in the most common and popular sizes now without either getting it delivered or having a truck. Same with getting appliances, etc. At the same time, a lot of people out in the country probably need significantly more "Truck"...

There are a lot more city people than homesteaders. A LOT. So of course many of their ads are going to target city people. They could probably sell one to everyone with a homestead, and 1. for half of them it wouldn't be a good fit, and 2. that wouldn't be enough sales to keep them going. It's...

I thought that was advance, but then the branding changed back and the stores went to half the previous size. On looking it up, looks like they split parts sales into a separate company, Auto Plus, which operated sales under the pep boys brand, which went bankrupt within 2 years. Pep boys now...

Still a lot less latency than with the current system. Reaction times of drivers add up. All it takes is one person hitting the brakes on a busy freeway to cause a cascading slowdown that spreads for miles and takes time to clear up.

Part of the details could be that kind of thing, and part could be misinterpretation by the writer. No steel body panels might have sounded like no steel parts.

Yeah, Autozone? do some Autozones have repair shops? I know Pep Boys does service, but maybe in that part of the company Autozone is similar?

So at those times vehicles slow down and spread out, just like they should, just like drivers should today. But when conditions are clear, it could get really efficient. It doesn't have to be optical. IR would work similarly, as would some short range RF. In any case, loss of signal, or people...

It does have a date of June 22 for their announcements, but with the mistakes made by going through the filter of the writer, not sure how much else is solid, like "doesn't rely on steel parts" "Deliver by the end of the year" may have been turned into "deliver beginning in December"

I was just seeing today that in the past 10 years, 7% of AM stations, and a lower % of FM have gone off the air. Multiple broadcasters keep declaring bankruptcy, because ad revenue is shrinking. Most younger listeners and some older go with podcasts and streaming, so advertisers don't want to...

Autonomous vehicle communications could be as simple as optical signals, carried by existing types of lights. A vehicle ahead of you modulates the power to it's rear lights, invisibly flickering them, telling your vehicle it is about to brake, or that an obstruction is detected at a certain...

Reaction time being faster with an autonomous system is real. If you took driver's ed classes, they talked about time to stop at different speeds, and part of that was reaction time, the distance you go before you even get your foot to the brake. A computer can identify a hazard and start...
