@JoeBrunoWSOC9 The traffic is awful, but repeating what they did on the north end of town and expecting a different result never made any sense. While maybe this feels knee jerk, and the reasons why will vary, it’s clear that the current path would lead to another dead end

@CostaKapo My hate is because it’s the owners son and more golden spoon nepotism. Same reason Custer has a cup ride. Taking up seats that could be used to develop real talent makes the sport less entertaining, not more

Cody is driving the piss out of the car this year. He is out driving Custer who's driving for a billion dollar corporation. Had a 6th taken away from him at Dega because of someone elses mistake. (Was at the front all day, not running extra laps, skipping tires, or because others were saving fuel.) Had a top 20 taken away today because someone else wrecked him, but because FOX didn't show a reply everyone is talking shit. Everyone says they want the NASCAR of the 80's but don't root for the only teams left that resemble those days. NASCAR charters will all be owned by Private Equity in the near future and you assholes will be crying for teams like RWR back when that happens, I can promise you that. Theres only a handful of Michael Jordans in the world and the others aren't lining up to buy charters. How do you think these drivers will get the money to keep their teams.

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 You forgot to include “The highest paid city manager in the country” Joe. Fire IS first response. Regularly beating police to scenes and doing a large amount of medics work as well. The hourly rate these guys receive due to their shift requirements is laughably low.

Subtle reminders from Chief Johnson and CFD that public safety includes CFD. I expect City Council debate over the raise discrepancy between CMPD (10%) and CFD (7%). The city manager says CMPD is getting more because they struggle more with recruitment and retention than CFD. 186 or so CMPD vacancies compared to around 65 or so current CFD vacancies. Budget public hearing is tomorrow.

What a true statement of fact! Our firefighters risk their lives daily to ensure the safety of our community. They cannot be forgotten when we discuss Public Safety.

@VadimYuryev They didn’t kill the education discount. They put actual accountability on it….. with Id.me and the like this isn’t that hard. As someone that qualifies for it I would hope it would allow a larger discount for those that actually qualify by reducing fraud

Btw this also proves my prediction from last year that Apple would pull out ALL stops to battle memory crisis before actually raising Mac prices. So far, they’ve killed off base storage models to help profit margins and killed off the education discount. Told you so!
Vadim Yuryev@VadimYuryev

Dang Apple is getting FULLY serious about profit margins with the MacBook Neo. Too many people exploiting the effortless $100 discount. To those that purchased and got it already, congrats because it’s gone forever now lol.

@brandenflasch Cool deal but kind of pricy, no? For the average 1-2 hour wmt charger why wouldn’t they also have some nice cheap 50kw chargers as well?

@RobGuy3 How’s the saying go, privatize the gains and subsidize the losses. They probably think it still has lower to go…..

@RobGuy3 Unfortunately privatizing it would just make it worse, and more expensive. Give them another angle to make revenue and see how they mess this one up…..

@OutofSpecDetail I’m honestly so disappointed in Toyota for this. This was THE car for my wife but this charging combined with that range is pitiful. If it isn’t 50k (which is impossible) this is a huge swing and a miss

I finally have my wife open to pure EV for her next vehicle after almost 2 years with her plug in hybrid (which I am proud to say she plugs in religiously) This new Lexus TZ sounded perfect, and then they dropped this 300 mile range dud with slow charging and fake engine noises

@wes_mur @RivianTrackr For sure. But the vast majority of the chargers on my routes are v3 superchargers. Well I guess that or Electrify American which work 25% of the time. Need IONNA to roll out more.

@RivianTrackr BMW’s leasing arm is on another level and depending on what they cook up could easily flip that value prop on its head.

Rivian's software is just on another level compared to BMW, and honestly that alone is going to push a lot of people toward the R2.
Darin Frerichs@djfrerichs

@RivianTrackr I have considered, but my ideal IX3 spec puts me over $70k. I can get my ideal R2 spec under $70k. Charging speed & +400 range aren’t priorities for me compared to others. At the end of the day I feel Rivian’s software & future upgrade experiences will be better longterm.

@gschom @RivianTrackr You would want to avoid superchargers anyway since the speed would be significantly less due to Tesla’s unwillingness to move to 800V. This thing on an IONNA will crush

@RivianTrackr I just wish the charging port was rear drivers side instead of rear passenger. I road trip a decent amount in my R1S and charging at v3 Tesla superchargers (with the shorter cables) has been sometimes tricky. This will have the same issue but now you’ll also need to back in.

@itskyleconner I’m very interested in driving one once they land. The I3 and I4 as well to be honest. Trying to get my wife to move from Plug in hybrid to full EV for her next vehicle and this may actually do it.

As a reminder, for just over $60k you get 400kW charging, 112kWh battery, 430+mi EPA range, and insane software / electrical architecture integration etc etc Options seem reasonably priced This feels like a deal…? Why are we excited about R2?

@MarcoRPi1 Comical they haven’t built their own commercial van is what I see here. Such a missed opportunity for fleet vehicles.

Interestingly, Tesla seems to be assembling a general contracting team to build out new Superchargers, instead of bidding out projects to other contractors. Two Tesla Energy vans were on site when I got there. One with a California plate and the other with a Maryland plate.

A new Supercharger is coming soon to Depew, New York!! Construction is underway on what looks like a 12-stall V3 station at the Wegmans on Dick Rd. The site is located about 2 miles off Interstate 90 via NY-33.
