TL;DR for people who don’t want to read the article:

EV’s are losing range, likely due to increased AC usage during hot weather.

Theoretically extreme heat can cause batteries to degrade, but modern EV’s have thermal management and probably can keep their batteries cool.

I design lots of things that go to space

Well, luckily for all of us, that’s his problem and his mistake to make. We can all just hang out on our unaffected instances

The Mary Poppins remake. To be honest, the movie was ok, but what really ruined it for me was the fact that a girl asked me out on a date to see the movie, then decided I wasn’t The One halfway through and just up and left

I had two android phones. The first one bricked itself after about a year, and the replacement was unusable a year later (even google maps was laggy). The second one suffered the same fate, with the added fun of being abandoned by Samsung after only 1 major android update

I noticed you didn’t say it has to be the main propulsive motors. So can I do things like seat motors, AC motor, and hyperspace drive?

Treat savings like a bill, not a bonus. Moreover, set up a second bank account (or, even better, a roboadvisor like Betterment or Wealthfront) and set up automatic transfers each month

Oh heavens! I can’t deal with this level of SHOCK!

Feels like a cross between mad max and a russian tank

To each their own. I’m glad you enjoy mastodon

Instructions unclear. Will fill entire car with Duracells and then take picture

I think your posts here are quality

How about we meet in the middle and photoshop in pictures of hampsters running in wheels?

Question: is it acceptable for owners of EV’s to post pictures of their trunk on Motor Mondays, but only so long as they make a reference to their car having a V0?

The problem with Mastodon is that they don’t have very many major entities actively making posts. The main thing I track on twitter is OSINT and US politics, and that community basically doesn’t exist on Mastodon right now

Would you be interested in running a new version of iAMA on Lemmy?

I sure hope they set that up to record regardless of whether sentry mode is enabled

Something I’d really like to see is if they could set up an organization whose entire job is to do interoperability testing between chargers and cars. I’m no expert, but I’d be willing to bet that at least half of CCS charge issues are because manufacturers are lazy and use cheap software.

Also, how is it that its 2023 yet we still can’t have plug and charge on all cars? It’s such a basic feature

Lol I can do a Lemmy AMA if people really want to hear about developing spacecraft. Should note most of my friends at JPL are people I went to college with - I only worked there as an intern
