EV sales have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Stop lying in headlines.
  • Tesla is the most American made car. My Model S was built in Fremont CA.

  • EV sales have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Stop lying in headlines.
  • I went from a 2016 Dodge Challenger to a 2024 Tesla Model S. Same coverage, the Tesla was $32/mo more expensive. Considering the Challenger was $250 in fuel each month, I'd say I'm ahead.

  • EV sales have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Stop lying in headlines.
  • Bought a Tesla last week and I love it. Quality is flawless (unlike what the media likes to write about) and it's saving me a ton of cash by not buying fuel. Charging at home is so damned simple and convenient. I can't imagine every driving an ICE vehicle.

  • The Carbon Tax Is Good for Canadians. Why Axe It?
  • Spoke with 2 co-workers the other day about the Carbon Tax Refund. Both said it was bullshit and neither were receiving anything.

    I said bullshit, check your 'My CRA' and it'll be there.

    Turns out one guy owes $6K so his carbon tax refund is paying that off and the other's wife is collecting it as only 1 person per household can receive it.

    Both clueless but both were very vocal about something they don't understand. We're truly fucked as a species.

  • EV prices need to drop by one third if Canada wants to hit sales targets, says gov't report
  • The first case is for people who have no access to a charger at their home (primarily condo dwellers, since home owners can easily install them) This should be regulated by the government, every condo should be required to upgrade their parking to include a certain percentage of chargers. We don’t need more chargers at random places around the city like we have with gas stations, vehicles should always be charged wherever they happen to sit overnight.

    Do ICE vehicles owners have a gas station at their house? Why are EV's an issue for this but not ICE vehicles? As long as you're near some form of fast charger, you don't need a Level 2 charger at home, though it would be nice.

  • Donald Trump is officially more popular in Alberta than he is in the United States
  • I hope you're right because rural Alberta was why we have Danielle Smith as Premier. She's a lunatic.

  • Donald Trump is officially more popular in Alberta than he is in the United States
  • Exactly. He'd be more comfortable in Caroline AB which is where the KKK are.

  • If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?
  • It's used in Cisco networking and Red Hat bonding that I know of. Changing it to primary/secondary IMHO is better and more clear.

  • Alex Jones and his fans are intrigued by Putin offer of sanctuary to conservatives
  • Russia is forcing people who are disabled to fight in Ukraine. I'm sure Alex qualifies.

  • 'You're blowing it': Trump's fans beg him to change course as polls show GOP slipping
  • Republican in name only, or RINO. Republicans back then were the same as Democrats today in terms of policy which I find weird.

  • 'You're blowing it': Trump's fans beg him to change course as polls show GOP slipping
  • Were fucking Republicans. We freed the slaves. We forced through reconstruction. We were responsible for civil rights. We literally have the historical record to make these arguments to the face of these race obsessed garbage people.

    LOL. I so laughed at this line. Some people are unbelievably clueless.

  • BYD to shake up North American EV market with plans to enter Canada
  • Thanks for that. Doesn't sound too bad when they put it this way.

  • BYD to shake up North American EV market with plans to enter Canada
  • Apple phones are made in China as are most laptops, servers and pretty much most electronics we use.

    I just read that Ford is trying to patent a technology to report speeding directly to the police.

    I don't like the Chinese Government but it's not like all North American companies are altruistic.

  • White man tells Black journalists his Black opponent is not Black
  • You can't get into Canada if you have a DUI. Trump would need special permission to enter Canada.

  • Man arrested, charged after revving engine outside Winnipeg police HQ
  • Mopar or no car. Title is total clickbait but glad he got arrested for speeding and running red lights.

  • Help us rank the worst of Pierre Poilievre's record.
  • In late March, Poilievre had suggested during a campaign event that digital currencies could help Canadians “opt out of inflation” because they are not influenced by central banks.

    That's arguably one of his worst comments because he was finance critic under Harper, the master of economics.

    Imagine if anyone took his advice then, they'd be broke.

  • Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
  • You can do it over the phone. I just did a few dozen this morning and it was relatively easy.

    Good news for anyone looking to buy the Polestar 3. Despite my initial quote, it seems there will be a price drop even on 2024 models.

    Also, their website changed recently to show that the Plus package is no longer included in the Performance Pack package so they're going through some changes.

    Anyone order a Polestar 3?

    I put a deposit down for the P3 Performance model and the dealer said I was likely the first one in my city to order one.

    When is this province going to get real with electricity capacity? How are we suppose to use EV's and Heat Pumps when the electrical grid is so under capacity?

    Anyone affected by the power outages?
