It definitely is.

It has a particular smell that doesn’t come out of fabric easily, either.

You get a water hammer when you shut off the flow, not when you open it.

That’s ideal conditions, so very few people would actually see that. If you don’t have somewhere to charge, you can typically charge up at somewhere like a supermarket.

That’s to test the incoming main, the actual grid on the floor doesn’t get flushed. There’s a lot of dead end pipes that can’t be flushed.

I’ll believe that when I see it.

Yes. A combination of rust, thread cutting oil, and water that has been in the pipes often since the system was filled. It smells, it will stain anything it touches, and it’s a smell that’s difficult to remove.

15 miles a day under ideal conditions isn’t really a significant amount, most EVs could run for multiple weeks without being charged under those conditions.

There’s also things like Sentinel mode on Teslas that use power.

My main gripe is people think a solar car will never need to be charged, or only on trips, and that’s just not the case.

This happens with fire sprinklers a lot, one sprinkler goes off, and triggers the rest of the floor, or sometimes even building.

That’s not how it works. Each sprinkler has it’s own trigger mechanism, the glass bulb, and cannot trigger another sprinkler.

There are systems where this happens, but the sprinkler heads look very different, and you won’t find them in an office building.

There’s something that people really fail to grasp with solar, and that’s the fact there is bugger all energy in the sun, and you need a huge surface area to get any meaningful energy.

A home solar array often takes up a significant chunk of the roof area, and the amount of surface area a car typically has means that even perfectly efficient solar panels wouldn’t collect enough energy to significantly contribute to the vehicle’s range.

There’s a good reason why vehicle manufacturers don’t bother adding them.

Even in locations where you are required to give notice, you can just pay out the notice period.

Someone who isn’t a pedant would interpret “using the OS” as going through the start menu, or equivalent.

You are unbelievably pedantic.

A short press of the power button shuts down almost any computer in existence, why would you use the OS?

I wonder how many people will just have the thing upside down?

Tesla sell everything except the Cybertruck in right hand drive, so I think it’s a fair comparison.

And the bronco?

No, you utter pillock, I mean they don’t sell them. Most of the vehicles you are yapping about are left hand drive only.

A Ford Bronco Sport or Escape

I can’t buy either of those where I live, by the way.

Good to know. I absolutely cannot stand any computer voice I’ve heard so far.
