Ya that's our employment insurance. Glad you were able to get back on your feet!

Many many years ago I worked a job where we had to keep an eye on the call center call queue/employees call status on the phone.

Someone always has to keep an eye on it, so if you need to go for a break, even just to use the washroom, if you're the only one on shift, you asked one of the team leads to watch it.

Had been like that for years.

Well, we had a brand new manager for our team who was an offsite manager at another call center, and my other coworker was in a very long meeting that day so I was all alone watching things.

I was really hungry, feeling sick from it, so I asked one of the team leads as usual to watch things while I took a break and went across the street to grab some fast food and come back.

Well, while I was gone for like 10minutes, the manager had called our desk (we have voice mail) and realized no one was there.

He reamed me out for having left the desk unattended, and how I should have waited for my coworkers meeting to end which wasn't ending anytime soon.

Didn't care that I'd had a TL cover for me as we'd always done.

Next day, HR calls me into their office and puts me on formal notice for it.

I quit the next day. Fuck that shit.

Were you on EI still when you found the job?

That'd be a fun story to tell them why you need to restart it.

I think I saw a snippet from his biography where Franz (head designer) convinced Elon to make the car so it could also have a steering wheel so as to not get fucked if fsd doesn't work out.

Supposedly took a lot of effort to convince him.

Guess that didn't pan out in the end. Nothing about that car is designed for non robotaxi use.

Why would having sex at a party make it trafficking.

It's just paid for underage sex at a party.

Unless she was trafficked at the party by someone else, but I don't think that gets the person paying charged with trafficking? That would get the person who trafficked her that charge.

With electronic voting, random audits of the paper ballots should be mandatory before the next president is sworn in.

It should be done by an independent organization.

You could audit specific machines or counties, just get a good smattering around the country. If a red flag goes off on the audit, then do it all since it's now compromised.

I guess that makes your comment woke.

If the dual motor isn't selling well that doesn't bode well.

Of all the reveal specs, it was actually the closest to the advertised specs and price after inflation.

With inflation after the delay it'd be about 61k. Sells for 80k. The final vehicle has more range though, offsetting the 19k gap a bit.

The RWD and Tri were much further off.

There goes the Google monopoly case.

I was kinda hoping it'd always stay like this.

Ah, I can see how that may have come across like that. My bad.

 

The company’s letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated the door handles could allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which may lead to the doors opening unexpectedly.

According to Volkswagen, the production halt could last until the beginning of next year as it works to resolve the issue.

 

This was a really good interview, worth the watch!

 

It doesn't say what was changed but that makes it a great price again.

It also really messes up the pricing between the 3 RWD which doesn't qualify and the AWD that does since it's only a 1k difference now. I wonder if we'll see them lower the RWD or potentially raise the AWD price?

 

So both Rivian and Tesla have or say they are going to have range extenders for their trucks, but in both cases even if they are removable and rentable they are huge as trucks are huge. In teslas case it seems to be a permanent change though.

What about commuter cars though?

One thing we really need is cheaper in city commuters and those don't need a long range. That brings costs down and gets more people into EVs, but those will get relegated to 2nd cars in many cases.

If those commuter cars could go to a shop and get an extender added in the trunk though that would make them much more capable of longer trips as well while keeping costs down.

If the battery rental is similar or less to renting a car for the same period then people would opt to use their own car for the longer trip and all the personal comforts that provides.

The batteries would be much smaller as well for a smaller vehicle.

 

Really cool look inside the factory!

 

I've been following the strike and sympathy strike happening against Tesla and the similarities to what happened with Toys R Us, and I'm left wondering why the financial sector in Sweden hasn't stepped in by now?

This has spread to multiple countries now, so it's not like this is day 1 of the strike.

Do they consider themselves some sort of thermonuclear option and would rather not get involved unless necessary for some reason?

If my understanding is right, they're what forced Toys R Us to sign an agreement since they couldn't effectively do anything like payroll anymore?

It seems like the logical next step to me at this point unless I don't understand something about how the sympathy strikes work there?
