Is that a SR-72 in the final scene of the trailer? Well... CGI of a SR-72?

A lot of the tech you see on resumes these days like ansible, docker, kubernetes, chef, various AWS and Azure buzzwords etc. are just layers to make underlying infrastructure easier. It's pretty easy to get experience in them and I get tons of resumes of people saying they do. Most of the time...

14 days on, 14 hours off is more the norm in the software industry.

That's a weird case to hang your hat on. Did you actually read it, or just looked at the title? "I got a nail in my tire at some point in the last 2 weeks - who knows where it came from, so I think Tesla should replace the tire for free but they won't" is hardly an example of terrible customer...

We dinged up a Model 3 rim 10 days ago. Got towed to the service center and the rim replaced and the (still good) tire transferred across to the new rim. Took about 20 minutes (apart from the tow), and $220 all said and done. No praying required.

Not really. The "for" people I've seen on here and other places are mostly just trying to fight preconceived notions. Most frequently it's the direct translation of "I fill up gas once every two weeks" -> "Now I'm going to have to spend 40 minutes every two weeks waiting for a refill". and...

Not necessarily. There are 2 types of standard 240V outlets. NEMA 6- which is commonly used by welders and server racks is a pure 240V L1 and L2 (and ground) with no neutral. NEMA 14- which is used by ovens, dryers etc. has L1, L2 (and ground) and the neutral. The main reason for the neutral...

Absolutely. 40 day aged ribeye. Then again, I’m not grilling because it’s Thanksgiving. I’m grilling because it’s my turn to cook, and how else are you supposed to get food warm??

It has 2 full-size rows of seats? Or do you mean more rear than that?

Release date I agree, but Tesla has always met and exceeded forecasted performance, and “technically” met forecasted cost.

For the Mode X and 3, Tesla was pretty strict in not allowing reservations to be transferred except between direct family members - specifically to discourage speculation.

That's not unique to outdoor though. But yes, I agree. I personally think all breakers should be GFCI - we've done that in South Africa since the 80s, if not earlier.

The wording on the code is goofy. 2017 NEC says this about EV outlets: "625.54 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection for Personnel. All single-phase receptacles installed for the connection of electric vehicle charging that are rated 150 volts to ground or less, and 50 amperes or less...

I have never seen a outlet- or breaker-side 240V GFCI in practice the US (I know they exist). I've seen AFCI on 240V breakers, but that's different. I actually just had two new 240V (6-30's) outlets installed a couple of weeks ago for my Christmas Lights. No GFCI. Installed by an electrician...

Just for reference, this is the set of adapters Tesla has available: These are basically just an adapter with a small coded resistor built in that tells the car how much current it can draw from that outlet. That's how the car knows it can draw 16A from a 5-20 but only 12A from a 5-15. (You...

Ok, but whether you actually want to have a 6-15 outlet is one thing - admittedly there is not a lot that work over them. But there some appliances, like 240V refridgerators that call for 6-15 outlets, and those call for 14/2 romex. Also consider that most of the rest of the world outside North...

Not sure about all EV'S, but Tesla at least ships with a mobile connector that has an GFCI breaker built into it. I think Leaf does as well.

You only need /3 for a NEMA 14-x (4 prong 240V) outlet. You can use /2 for a NEMA 6-x (3 prong 240V) outlet. I wasn't suggesting putting on a NEMA 14- outlet on /2 wires.

Neither against code, nor dangerous. 5-15 and 6-15 are both 14/2 romex, and 5-20 and 6-20 are both 12/2 romex. An inspector might tell you to recode the white as black using electrical tape on both sides.

Actually 40 x 365 = 14'600 miles. That over the average yearly mileage (13'500). If the battery is big enough to smooth over the spikes it should work out fine for most people. Put another way, the average commute length per day is 32 miles. So 120V is fine for "most" people. Not like in 99% of...
