“So that [charging in 12 minutes] is actually the number we’re solving for,” he said. “Do we need to charge in five minutes? The answer is probably no.”

Saying “we don’t need faster charging” isn’t very convincing - especially when only the competition offers it. If Mercedes-Benz were the one offering megawatt charging, it would suddenly be marketed as the next big thing.

And I believe that we need to solve megawatt charging for a breakthrough of electric trucks and buses.

As mentioned, there’s nothing particularly new this time around, but the update might end up fixing some of the niche bugs that are floating around with the platform.

Not half as interesting as expected.

Meanwhile Donald wants to go back to coal. What does he want next, steam locomotives?

Looks like some interesting lab research:

The team needed to prevent that surface layer from forming. They did this by coating the battery with a glassy material made of lithium borate-carbonate, approximately 20 nanometers thick. The addition of this coating sped up cold charging significantly, and when combined with the channels, the team’s test cells were 500% faster to charge in subfreezing temperatures.

I’ve got it running for a few weeks now. Seems very nice

Nice list of suggestions, but implementing all of them feels a little over-the-top.

I don’t really get the love for fail2ban. Sure, it helps keep your logs clean, but with a solid SSH setup (root disabled, SSH keys enforced), I’m not bothered by the login attempts.

The current tariff approach by the republican administration does not include the tariffs on US exports. They are not included in the formula.

This is exactly the kind of innovation I was looking for.

Markdown formatting can be tricky

Sounds like certificates to me, but I don’t know of any such solution

Edit: I found out that openssh allows the logon with a certificate. This guide shows how to setup a public key that expires after 52 weeks.

Boss, I need a third monitor, I’m out of space for post-its

I would need a small book hidden under my keyboard. My work password safe has approximately 100 entries.

Maybe this will help for US sales, but it Tesla sales will likely stay low in other markets.

Thank you for clarifying!

Why do companies name their password safe “Password Safe”? Thats about as relevant as naming a phone “Phone”.

We use Netwrix Password Secure at work. They just announced this week they have found a RCE vulnerability in their software…

Teams randomly selects the wrong microphone, so either people can’t hear me or they can hear everyone around me too (laptop mic).

How hard can it be to store my microphone preference?

I think this shows how far US car makers are now behind in this specific industry.

BYD just announced 1MW charging, while US car makers struggle to even get some EVs on the road.

“China fears tech leaking into the US” is not what I expected for 2025
