Sure, but keep this in mind… The logistics for a single part give it a larger carbon footprint than that same part when it is shipped as part of a whole product. I’m not sure where the break-even point is, but repairing the laptop will eventually exceed the carbon footprint of a new machine, before the machine is completely replaced. Generally, it’s better to build for longevity than repairability. I can’t say at that Apple hardware is built to last longer, but that is certainly a claim I’ve seen other people make based on their experience.

The ability to read does not necessarily mean literate.

No laptop is environmentally friendly. Old statistics, but last time I checked, the carbon footprint for a laptop has basically a train car full of coal. I think Apple was a pretty early adopter of RoHS though. As for updates that slow down the device… Their main competitor is guilty of this too. In October, basically every windows device made before 2016 is going to need to be replaced, disconnected from the internet, or upgraded to Linux.

He hasn’t got the charisma, the financial sense, or trustworthiness to become a used car salesman.

Yet here we are.

A petty thief can only steal what you currently have. Elon can take away things that you don’t even have yet.

It’s a helluva thing killing a man; you take all he’s got, and all he’s ever gonna have.

The overall fire risk for EVs, (including most Teslas) is pretty low, but the Cybertruck is a huge outlier here.

The Tuskegee airmen thing pisses me off so much. Like brick-throwing shit-burning degree of angry.

I don’t think I could do a better Nazi salute on purpose.

Apparently a big part of Tesla’s business is selling carbon credits to other automakers… Which relies on them having a certain number of EV sales. If they drop below a threshold, then they can’t sell those credits anymore.

My brother has a model 3. It’s a nifty car. The advanced cruise control (not their FSD) is better than the Blue-Cruise in my Ford, and works on more roads. Build quality seems about the same TBH, although my brother may just have a good example. The Tesla charging network is expansive, and would be a major point to the Model 3, but other cars can charge there now, even older models can do it with an adapter.

Ergonomics-wise, I think the Ford is much better. Better controls on the steering wheel, has a “gauge cluster” instead of putting important info on the center display away from the driver’s line of sight, and it’s easier to open the doors, both from the outside, inside, and in the case of emergencies.

30k is abysmal for a car that had almost 2 million pre-orders. Clearly, there is huge demand for a vehicle like the Cybertruck, but not specifically the Cybertruck. A little hyperbole can be fun sometimes.

True, but they’ve also probably been paid enough to lie about it.

…A couple hundred CTs…

Gonna be hard to get the majority of them that have been sold to show up in one place at one time.

Police : Buddy, you are lucky it wasn’t something much worse, this one time, a friggin acorn hit my car and I…

Like 13 times less safe than a Ford Pinto, and ~50x worse (for fires) than another EV.

Herd immunity for measles is 95% vaccination if I recall correctly.

Google says rates are falling, and we’re at 92.7%

The sad thing is that the electively unvaxxed people are probably going to be fine. Measles sucks, but most people get through it without any issues. The people who are unable to get the vaccine because of medical conditions… It’s basically a death sentence for them.

Plus, elective antivax is dumb. Those people get rabies shots when they get bit by an animal, because they know that the vaccines work, they just like to deny it when the disease isn’t extremely fatal to them.

… Intelligent Design was the "default* up until the Scopes Monkey trials though?

They seem to be more common in EVs, so if you want to make a statement on the CT youcompare it to other EV trucks and if you spot a difference, THEN you can make the case about the CT being unsafe.

You literally couldn’t be more wrong.
