You may be entertained by this youtube I made over a dozen years ago, it was rather prescient looking back at it.  Youtube shadowbanned me within a few hours as it was sarcastic and humorous.  To this day they have blurred the video and shut off comments, it is still NOT searchable.  They have since have added their own BS comment.

Electric cars for dummies

Yes, you can copy the article text into chatGPT and ask for a summary. For this article, though, it’s much faster to scan it for points 1, 2, and 3.

Hahaha...I love those kinds of things, you did a great job with the dialogue...

“Are you ******* kidding me?”

Of course, I do get the tyranny of YouTube. No doubt about that! Thanks for the link, I enjoyed it...:)

I am not seeing how they came up with 25 refrigerators extra load. A L2 home charger is going to be 80% or 30 amps or 80% of 50 amps. Which means 24 amps or 40 amps at 240 volts. The average clothes dryer is on a 30 amp two pole breaker and the HVAC unit is usually on a 50 amp two pole. So at most it’s equal to the existing a.c. Unit’s load.

My Model 3 is averaging 180 watt hours per mile mixed urban and suburban/exurban driving. The average person drives 40 miles or less per day this is also the furthest I typically go into North Big D and back every few days. 40 miles per day at 180 watt hours per mile is 7.2 kilowatt hours per day that’s a whole lot less than 25 fridges it actually equal to one hour of your A.C. Units use or an hour and half of a typical clothes dryer. Here again it makes no sense at 25 refrigerators... 7 kWh is also 85 cents worth of retail power. To cover that same 40 miles in my S60 at 28mpg and 2.99 a gallon today would be $4.27 vs 85 cents.

I think this “journalist” took a fast DC charge rate and a empty battery and said oh look it’s this huge load that people will draw every day. No one drives 300+ miles per day so no one is going to have an empty pack every day and no one has a fast DC charger at 250kw at the house. A 300 mile EV means the average person will need to charge once a week or less and even then a home L2 at 30 amps will fill that 300 miles up in 8 hours once or less a week not per day.

I drive a Tacoma Double cab Long bed. It is almost impossible to pull into a parking space going forward. Therefore, I typically back in. With the camera you can safely get within a few inches of the vehicle behind it.

Geometric parking makes much more sense. The town I formerly lived in had it in their downtown main street instead of parallel parking.

Example where I asked chatGPT to ignore the timings of the thread creator’s post and prepare a one paragraph summary: https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4240735/posts?page=44#44

“Example where I asked chatGPT to ignore the timings ...

Interesting, but I worry that chatgpt might leave out something, or might misinterpret the author’s writing.

I don’t mean maliciously.

I didn’t think of this concern in my earlier post.

A summary by chatgpt might help us in speed-reading the original article.

EV infrastructure puts out HEAT. “Fast Charging” especially.

I really cannot fathom this. Are all the shareholders complete and total Leftists, where this kind of loss on each vehicle is okay if it pushes an agenda?

Big institutional investors like Blackrock and Vanguard have all the sway. They are heavily into ESG. Ford/GM didn't decide to go all electric back in the day without their nudging. Now it has backfired.

Yes. I have been trying to help people understand exactly that point, and that is that DIE has been baked into our economy by those scumbags at Blackrock and Vanguard.
