It's more complicated than private network = more sales, because otherwise why would they open it at all? As a public corporation, the default assumption is that they think they'll make more money opening the network than keeping it closed. There's NEVI money, there is whatever backroom deals with the other automakers, there is brand prestige with NACS, there is marketing effect of getting drivers of other brands EVs to engage with their network, there is the long term view that their market share can only shrink and it's better to ensure their customers have access to every charger, etc. I think time will show that open access is more profitable for everyone.
Most of the year is irrelevant. They had a stellar post-season and nobody is calling it an "upset" because it wasn't surprising to anyone that the Chiefs pulled it off.
A leaf is 3500-3900 lbs, not almost 5k lbs
Yep. Source: am in Colorado and have triple pane tilt turn windows, and know several others with them. They are super nice and slowly growing in popularity.
We’ve moved from 17% to 40% of total energy production coming from renewables since 2020
This what you said. You're comparing a 2020 number without nuclear to a 2022 number with nuclear. That's dumb and misleading. That doesn't make me a douche, it makes you wrong and petty. Grow up and just try to get your numbers and facts straight.
How is accelerationism a "long term plan that thinks beyond cutting off your nose to spite your face"? There's no long term plan at all, it's simply a false hope that people will rise up when things get shitty enough, and from those ashes some kind of utopia will sprout. That's not a plan at all, that's just a dream.
That was 2014.
Y'all surprised that Porsche of all brands is making expensive cars now? If you're upset about the Macan pricing, you can't afford it (new).
I feel like some simple demographics data could clear this up. The answer is a lot of people. Like the top 5-10% in developed countries could afford a polestar 2. There are like 120M households in the US alone, so 6 million on the low end? Then there are folks that can't actually afford cars but buy them anyway (super common in the US too). I personally think spending this much on any car is ridiculous, but I'm a scumbag ebike rider first and an EV enthusiast a distant second.
It's mostly high fructose corn syrup, which shouldn't even be a food. Stubbs is vastly superior since it uses real sugar and molasses.
GM normalizes 5ft tall hood heights and horrid outward visibility, then acts like they give two shits about pedestrian safety. I guess there's more profit in selling people both the problem and a solution. Regardless, I'd still rather have vehicles with tricked out electronics sensors not run me over so I'll take it.

How can you possibly think the US military, or any sovereign country, will magically spend an extra $165B a year on meat a year if all of the current consumers magically go vegetarian? Who exactly is going to eat a bunch of extra meat? There will just be fewer meat sales, period, ignoring a short term price drop if everyone magically goes vegetarian on the same day.
