CmdrShepard42 , to technology in EV Batteries Are Dangerous to Repair. Here’s Why Mechanics Are Doing So Anyway

Plus imagine if you crash or sell the car after 5 years and then lose $3k for nothing.

A car sitting 6 feet in the air is also a highly dense storage of energy that could be released at any moment. I do get your point, but there are ways to mitigate the dangers associated with working on a pack, and they’re not as volatile as you think. Being exposed to air isn’t going to cause a cell to explode as the lithium is mixed with other chemicals inside the cell to make it fairly inert. The danger comes from short circuits, whether it be a puncture or bridging contacts with something conductive.

The problem with this is that every vehicle would need to be built around the same battery pack dimensions, have the same amp-hour rating, same voltage, same cooling system, etc. I seriously doubt that would ever happen as nothing like that has ever existed in the 120+ years of automotive history.

I also saw that video (note $60k CAD about $42k USD). Hyundai is really going to need to figure things out if they expect Ioniq 5 sales to continue because insurers aren’t going to keep paying out $60k every time someone drives over some road debris and customers aren’t going to be happy about insanely high insurance bills or paying more than the MSRP of their brand new car to replace a single component.

I wonder if the prices are due to Hyundai having supply chain issues and designating every pack toward new vehicles.

CmdrShepard42 , (edited ) to technology in Tesla drivers had highest accident rate, BMW drivers highest DUI rate, study finds

Weird that this ‘study’ keeps getting picked up by different outlets and attributed to LendingTree who specifically notes at the top of said study that they don’t endorse anything within it and it’s solely the opinion of the author.

Furthermore, this study is obviously flawed as it states Pontiac, Mercury, and Saturn as the vehicles with the safest drivers, even though none of those companies have produced a car in around 15 years. The data is also sourced from people filling out insurance applications and doesn’t actually account for who was at fault for these accidents, nor does it even track the type of vehicle involved in the accident. It simply tracks who has an accident or DUI on their record and what vehicle they’re currently looking to get insurance quotes for. It’s clickbait in its purest form.

CmdrShepard42 , to news in Paramedics Found Guilty in Last Trial in Elijah McClain Death

In order for you to sedate someone, they must already be under control right? Or do you jump into the dog pile with a syringe full of ketamine?

Furthermore, you’re unlikely to have been there for the initial encounter so who are you to judge whether someone is trying to hurt police versus someone who is being assaulted by the police after having committed no crime and is only trying to protect themselves from a bunch of roided-out criminals? These fights often involve police kneeling on people’s arms and legs, immobilizing them completely, while shouting “give me your hands” or “stop resisting” so that it appears to bystanders that it’s a two-way fight and not just a motionless person getting the shit beat out of them. I can’t count the number of bodycam videos I’ve seen where you can clearly see the ‘suspect’s’ hands pinned down by other police while being punched in the face for not putting their hands behind their back.

CmdrShepard42 , to technology in Windows 10 end of life could prompt torrent of e-waste as 240 million devices set for scrapheap

In one sense, I’m glad they put this stupid barrier up so that I don’t have to keep deleting the forced upgrade as part of regular Windows Updates like I did with Win10, but on the other hand it’s bullshit that they’re creating so much waste for no other reason than personal profit for their company.

CmdrShepard42 , to technology in Intel CEO laments Nvidia's 'extraordinarily lucky' AI dominance, claims it coulda-woulda-shoulda have been Intel

Well Bob Swan did dump $20 billion on a single stock buyback that only elevated the share price for like 2 weeks and Brian Krzanitch saw delay after delay on 14nm which resulted in turning their two year lead into a two year defecit. There’s definitely truth to Pat’s words.

CmdrShepard42 , to technology in Study shows Tesla owners have most car accidents, but Ram has the worst drivers

It’s suspicious that all three top slots went to vehicles that haven’t been produced in ~15 years. It clearly indicates (among numerous other things) something wrong with the data/analysis. I have major doubts that someone currently driving a clapped out 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix is the safest driver on the road.

CmdrShepard42 , to technology in Study shows Tesla owners have most car accidents, but Ram has the worst drivers

Even the site hosting the study includes a huge disclaimer stating that it’s just the author’s personal opinion.

And all it analyzes is people’s driving record and the current model of vehicle they’re trying to insure. Someone who got rear-ended in a Honda and had their car totaled who is now trying to insure their new Tesla would be included in this even though they didn’t crash their Tesla nor were they at fault for the accident.

Be honest. You tried microwaving it, didn’t you?
