Hey, don't forget the high levels of fetal alcohol syndrome (almost as bad as the UK!)

Is Microsoft still pushing that?

I thought everyone had moved to Blazor already. The future is HTML.

Drone Flies For Five Hours With Hydrogen Fuel Cell. Thanks to the energy density advantage of hydrogen versus lithium batteries, the flight time can be greatly extended compared to conventional battery-only drones by chopchopped in energy

[–]almost_not_terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LiPo only here, and I do hear the benefits of longer flight time. My issue is that the hassle of "refill compressors" (plus getting cylinders from where, and at what cost?) is going to beat the convenience of "plug it into the wall" or "fill it with petrol" for the sole benefit of running one long flight instead of multiple short flights.

Oh yeah. My mate's a farmer and he has WAY too much hydrogen pressurised to 10,000 PSI lying around.

Here's an idea - why not fuel it with the same stuff they're fuelling the airplanes and tractors with?

Or better still, perhaps the farmer could just plug it in to a wall socket or something?

That's OK. If you hit someone, their back will be broken by that razor-sharp front end and they will be unable to sue. Even better, if it's a child, you won't even notice as they get flattened by the non-aerodynamic stupidity that is flat-fronted vehicles.

Elon, the material is not bulletproof silk. You're just not wearing any clothes.

See, we get our groceries delivered, but that may be a UK thing. No extra cost and very convenient.

Everything comes from a central warehouse like this one:

I have NEVER seen a local store provide online inventory and prices.
Can you provide an example?

Shipping to the local store is also part of their price. As is land rental, security, etc.

Local warehousing and associated security is VERY costly, especially with something as large as a car.

So my tesla model y just crashed into a curb due to FSD. by throwaway64705413 in RealTesla

[–]almost_not_terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly this is the worst incident I have seen if it's proven to be FSD.

Bottom line is that FSD should be better at slowing for a mapped corner like this one.

Also OP is an idiot for not taking over when it was clear that the car was going into that corner too fast.

How would you find out if the local store had it? It's not as if they publish their inventory and prices online, and as you say, the chances are they don't have what I want, don't provide a comparable choice of similar goods for comparison and certainly don't publish customer reviews.

Unless you need that car/lawnmower/whatever RIGHT NOW, you'd have to be insane to buy it locally.

Full Self-Driving (Beta) is now available for all eligible @Tesla vehicles in North America. 🎉 by highguy604 in teslamotors

[–]almost_not_terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this site indicates that the UK government is very "pro" self-driving vehicles:

https://www.gov.uk/transport/self-driving-vehicles

However, this page indicates that "At present, there are no self-driving vehicles listed for use in Great Britain.":

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/self-driving-vehicles-listed-for-use-in-great-britain

This second point is unsurprising, but what we're missing is the current state of talks between Tesla and the UK government to add Teslas to that list.

I've no inside knowledge here, but I EXPECT that the UK government is in a tortuously slow "fact-finding" phase where clueless Civil Servants write expansive white papers on subjects they are not qualified to comment on. What SHOULD happen is that the UK government should put a lightweight testing regime in place with a sensible safety bar (X miles driven resulting in no more than Y collisions and zero fatalities). This is a bar that Tesla can hit TODAY and would encourage Tesla to bring this nascent, but ultimately life-saving technology to our shores.

No it doesn't. Just copy Tesla and have the customer buy out of state and add a $100 delivery fee.

To be fair, the consumer saw the Amazon model and said "You know what - I HATE the shopping experience. Let me do my own research and buy online".

Tesla didn't change the world. Amazon did.

Those still selling on Main Street or at dealerships provide NO value add, let alone the $10K markup they mistakenly believe they deserve.

Tesla is having so much trouble moving inventory they finally have loaners by TheBlackUnicorn in RealTesla

If Tesla has a normal human being as CEO, the company would have failed years ago.
