Note, this isn’t about giving Elon money. This is about giving Elon back majority control so he feels like he has the power needed to steer the company after he blew all his shares with the mistake of buying Twitter. That’s it. So the question is do the shareholders take the hit for elons...

Wait, you can block people on here. And all these years and money spent on therapy from all the hurt feelings on here that could have been avoided.

Steel welded assemblies dont really have the same problems. Has there ever been any evidence of a repair shop actually welding an aluminum casting as a certified repair though? I doubt it will be common practice as welding cracked aluminum (let alone a casting) is much less of a certainty than...

Is Yahoo still around?

Do you anticipate a lot of culturally Caucasian workers building in Mexico?

Nope. I can speak for California. I have sat in commercial development meetings where the utilities are saying add all the EV charging you want. We frequently have days now where all the demand is covered by renewable energy. Meaning where once the power provider has to pick up 100% of the...

I researched a few options like Chargepoint and evgo but tesla had the simplest solution. It was a little hectic dealing with the support staff, but we got it done.

This is actually how it works if you install more than 6 chargers and get on teslas business account.

Tesla charges $0.01/kWh as a fee to manage it. We pay the electricity bill monthly. Tesla cuts us a check quarterly and we pay them the $0.01/kWh at the end of the year.

I just put in 6 Tesla chargers at my office. Tesla has a commercial deal where if you install 6 or more chargers you get on their business account and they manage all the payments through the Tesla app. We select what people pay.

One thing that is important to note is that a typical BEV costs an equivalent of about $2 to $2.5 per gallon, assuming about $0.25/kwh to charge, when compared to a car that gets about 30 mpg, which would be typical for a modern ICE with a size around the model 3 or Y. And, its much less...

I just set up Tesla charging at out office and they charge $0.01/kWh to manage the software and tesla accounts. I don't know what their cost are on the super chargers. To purchase a supercharger its about $80k for the equipment. At out office we just did level 2 chargers at $350 ea. Obviously...

Its really great to see companies humbling themselves to use the better design/tech. Its like the apple charger vs usb whatever. its just a better design. I wish the whole world would just get over it and work with apple to make it the standard.

You are my hero. You probably just summarized an entire afternoon of research. Thank you,

It’s probably been posted, but did you see how the launch obliterated the launch tower foundation. It completely took out a grade beam that must have been 20’ wide 30’ deep and 100’ long. That’s nuts. I am sure the structural engineering manual doesn’t deal much with vast quantities of rocket...
