  1. They are rougher on the batteries. If that were the only way you charged, they would definitely decrease battery life long term. We're not talking useless battery in a few years, but you can probably add another 5%-15% capacity loss after 10 years. If you're doing 80-90% of your charging at home on a slow charger (which is how the vast majority of people would charge), then the effect is inconsequential.
  2. Every other public job in existence has strict conflict of interest requirements. A fucking city worker can't accept a donut from a potential vendor or customers without being reprimanded or potentially fired. But @52-80 is perfectly ok with the government appointing someone the head of an agency on government "waste" who is the current CEO of a public company vehicle manufacturer and the CEO and CTO of rocket company and defense contractor. And he is ok with another government agency begging the public to buy the stock of said CEO's company. And he thinks those things are the same fucking thing as random fucking politicians criticizing the actions of that CEO and his companies. Fucking dense as shit motherfucker. These are blatant red flags that in every other context would be such flagrant conflicts of interest as to disqualify for the person from the position AND would even result in potential legal and criminal action for bribery and fraud. But because it is @52-80's guy, it is all good. Fucking ridiculous. And I say all this as the owner of Tesla (and I still love my vehicle) and a general fan of what SpaceX has accomplished.
  3. Batteries don't die after 10 years and don't need to be replaced. That's just fearmongering by others. I also think there are more fast chargers than you think. Colorado is also pretty well covered with fast chargers, especially if you have access to the Tesla Supercharger Network (which most vehicles do now or will soon). Hard to find where there would be any concerning distance between chargers here. Although I admit some of those uphill climbs may be concerning if you don't have a good amount of charge coming into them (but downhill gains energy, so that's nice).
  4. Just curious, what about charging time do you feel needs to be vastly improved? You can go from 0-60 in basically 20 minutes for most vehicles (charging north of 60 percent takes longer). For my road trips, I generally go with shorter 10-15 charge stops or however long it takes to go to bathroom, get snacks, etc. That's usually roughly 15 minutes and gets you enough charge to drive a couple of hours until the next stop. Obviously you can charge longer if you're actually getting a full meal. But the dedicated charging stops don't end up being significantly longer than I would stop with gas vehicle. It is definitely less convenient if you're driving very long road trips multiple times a month, but if you're only doing the occasional road trip, it isn't noticeable. And, if you can charge at home, you literally never have to stop and "buy gas" during the regular weeks. As an example, we go to Austin from Houston a couple of times a month (family). We leave with a full charge so we don't have to stop on the way there. We might stop for 15 minutes on the way back just depending on how much we were able to charge in Austin. implying was supposed to be "imploring" - stupid autocorrect!
  5. Eh, midweek game like ours last week where the bats hit well enough but your midweek pitching isn't there doesn't seem like anything to me, unless of course Arkansas was using its weekend guys in a midweek week.
  6. It is not classified if the President says it is not classified. That's the lesson Trump learned in his documents case.
  7. Again with the false equivalences. Politicians can shit on private companies all they want. Whether it is politically wise to do so is a different matter, but there is nothing improper about it. The fact that you don't see the difference between the executive office of the United States implying to people to buy the troubled stock of his billionaire friend and the governor of state making a joke criticizing the actions of said billionaire friend says a lot about you.
  8. I usually end up going at least once every 3 days or so. Otherwise, the gym week back from the vacation would absolutely suck.
  9. Arkie and Clemson go down. Alabama hangs on.
  10. Guy said fuck it so he could go home.
  11. That one was a no doubter off the bat.
  12. Farmer is really good at hitting the ball hard right to someone. Bye ball.
  13. Nice fucking k. Good job. He should still be done.
  14. I think this is near the end for bing. Some of these look like meat.
  15. No idea how that got through.
  16. We don't need to know what you're doing on the bus...
  17. Nice bunt. Just around @BachelorTrek.
  18. Where the fuck did that miss blue? Doesn't matter. Ball don't lie. Got him swinging the next pitch.
  19. Pretty good AB there and then hits it past both bing and Flores.
