a Take(TM) I've seen is that software companies should have dedicated "poor conditions" testing staff.
Your software ideally should be usable by someone in the forest who has 1.5-megabit DSL that drops 25% packets, or someone on the ocean using a satellite with high latency
LRS: I think a lot about the interaction between new features written by people who never have less than a gigabit of network and never have a computer over three years old and "the real world"
whatever those items are might well be... notionally useful but at what cost?

also "basically my power bill becomes 19 grand the instant the station maxes out" feels extremely illustrative of why DCFC costs so much and is part of why I'm so interested in battery-backed DCFC hardware
the public EV charger of the day is this ChargePoint station at Pikes Peak CO. It's privately owned and the owner did it to fill a gap.
I love that type of story behind one-off types of stations.
there's some extremely good face going on here, also totally hot in your glasses!

I'd love to see an ioniq9 vs. GM 200kwh towing comparison. That always seems to be the unique/primary strength of GM's biggest batteries
(not sure I've seen Ioniq9 towing info other than "yes it can")
i dont want to QRT the same article about harddrives that is prolly on your feed 6x times already but there really needs to be Consequences because the current ones available to us are clearly having no effect

To their credit I think this is the biggest battery pack in a noncommercial BEV in the US.
There's firesale brightdrops but I do not have "DIY conversion" time or energy and I'm sure any would-be upfitters (there were a few!) are now looking elsewhere
Does the Cadillac count? (kinda /j because I know those cost a lot more)
My other wishlist for this platform is put it in the Express/Savana form factor for one of those light touch sleeper upfits/conversions

If it's still around after a couple more pay cycles and I do my taxes I may ask. This specific one's been sitting around for a few weeks and the dealer seems not to care that much about it or be super interested in it
