Okay, maybe not "monster" truck but certainly monstrous. Obviously a lot of boys are compensating for something these days.

The guys that are under 5'6" drive them to the gym. They do not take public showers after. No one should see the Freudian inadequacy that the huge truck phytologically makes up for. Baby dicks. Half a pinky,. They also take steroids, shrinking some parts. They do not have balls. Peas. I saw one roll coal on an eight-year-old girl on a bike. He must have seen her as a threat. Baby dicks.

Thats very odd, are we presuming its some anti EV soft protest, or are these bays just empty anyway.
The pub near us has had ten bays fitted and its rare to see anyone using it.
Everyone has driveway around here, its suburban and its so much cheaper to charge at home.
 
Total non-sequitur: I am watching a crow territorial fight. I put peanuts on atop a 4x4 post that I can see. Most fell down because of wind, so I put up more. A crow couple has claimed them. The blue jays, another smart corvid species, will hord and stash them in close hiding places as soon as they spot them. Now a third crow has come in. The crow couple do not like him taking 'their' bounty. There are lots of barkin calls and chasing. It is a big crow territorial fight for resources. What is private and what is public, in the commons? Politics is the act, or process of allocating and distributing the commons. If one farmer has 1,000 of his sheep grazing the public commons; How fair is that? We, here, have the rule of law that applied to all. Are gross profits because we have a good public infrastructure and releasable rules, not worth paying for for by their most used, users, in proportion to profits? What is shared, is publicly used, and what is private and immune to the public benefit:? An Amiazon truck uses public roads, for example, for private gain. Should they pay proportionally for that use and the fair system that allows justice for all, regardless of resources or money? What about private jets who use air traffic control to to fly to burning man, we all pay for, and the Coast Guard to rescue luxury yachts? Some people have a larger public burden and overhead cost and benefit. That upside needs to be given back to where it came.

Its a simple story.
If you tax business too much it will walk away.
Then you have no tax and no jobs.

I cant see any fix to a fundamental issue that doesnt involve preventing them leaving by force.

In other news Harry and Meghan, or mug and smug as we call them are coming back to blighty.
Its all arranged and being smoothed over by the media.
There are differing opinions on this, but either way we will have to endure the wailing and the accusations of ray sism for not having a positive opinion of the whitest black person on earth.

Theres no way on gods earth she wants to come back here from California unless some sweetners are in place and the royals popularity is in freefall at the moment, Im sure the PR gurus have it all worked out.
 
Ah net zero..
Today ,The Independent
Meanwhile Romania scrambled F-16 fighter jets yesterday to destroy a suspected Russian marine drone spotted a few hundred metres from a Black Sea gas project.

The country’s defence minister said that the drone was destroyed as it travelled near Neptun Deep, a critical facility that is expected to make Romania the European Union's largest gas producer when it comes on-stream ⁠in 2027.
 
6 months and 10000 miles in. 10000 mile service was $55.

That and I'm paying about 15 percent per mile that a dinosaur burner would cost. Not even including maintenance.
 
Robotic battery repair from Catl, finally the industry is dealing with one of the biggest issues.

EV battery repair price drops to $1,480 as CATL offers 48-hour fixes with mobile service

CATL wants to make electric vehicle batteries repairable rather than replaceable and is putting its money where its mouth is with a global repair network. These can cut an EV battery repair price tenfold from $14,800 and times down to 48 hours with mobile repair centers on trucks.

Just saying, EV battery failure rates on later-model EVs (2022 and later) are about 0.3 percent. While on ICE vehicles engine failures are around 0.8 percent.

And the trends are going in the opposite directions, with EVs getting much more reliable (very early pre-2012 models had an 8 to 13 percent battery failure rate) while older ICE vehicle engines were much more reliable than later models have become. In the real world nobody seems to be able to make ICE vehicles as reliable as those made 15 or more years ago.

A lot of the very high failure rates of early EVs came down to a couple of models (most notably the Nissan Leaf) which did not have a thermal management system to cool the battery during charging. Any EV with an active thermal management system for the battery is much more reliable.
 
Its the perception of damage or cell failure on sales, if they can be reliably be repaired for such a low price thats a major argument against EVs put to bed.

I watched a battery that had a nick from road damage in the external cooling channel.
Four years old, car written off.
