More big news. Looks like GM will be adding Tesla ports to its future vehicles and Tesla software to be able to use Tesla’s charging network.
Yea, big news, just posted this in the California EV thread. Also, GM plans to have adapters available in 2024.

They produce oxygen during daylight and CO˛ in darkness. Humans, on the other hand, produce CO˛ and CH⁴ (methane). Some produce far more methane than others.

Not when they take in ten times more CO2 than what they expel. Production isn't a problem. They are a net carbon sink.

I do my share to rid the world of CO2 by consuming way too much of it in my daily allotment of caffeinated soda.

Actually most CO2 in soda is released or belched out, but fortunately, the amount is relatively insignificant.

I think it is interesting that the climate stuff gets all the press, but there seems to be relatively little press about us running out of oil soon and what that could mean for industries dependent on oil without alternatives. Seemingly burning through oil for combustion engines and for peak electricity demand is not ideal.

Great video, thanks for posting.

The Roadster was the best looking car Tesla ever produced, and this example is the best looking one I've ever seen. Yet, in true Tesla fashion (for me) it's still an ugly car from the front.

I think the new Roadster concept is good looking too, but you’re right that this was their best looking car. It is definitely the right size.
