Well they are still installing RAN chargers with CCS plugs and we are probably about a year or so before the first R2 start shipping. So I doubt they will replace the CCS plugs with NACS before the R2 starts shipping. Probably will be adapters.
I also agree that the low speed suspension seems a lot better. I just wish it wasn't as noisy all the time but I guess that's a hardware issue and can't be fixed in software.
True but starlink started out with smaller and less capable satellites vs Kuiper which are closer to what startlink satellites are now. So I don’t think it will take Kuiper as long to get started as starlink did.
Ok maybe not many times less but it's starting to get there. It's a shame too since it would be nice to get more in rural areas. Nice that other companies are still building out chargers too instead of just relying on Tesla.
Tesla builds the stations in Buffalo, that's not the issue. The 500 person teams finds locations, working with permitting, electric companies, contractors, etc. Look at the reports of contractors not being able to get a hold of anyone since they were all fired. New station locations ground to...
Don't think that's true. Go look at supercharger.info before and after the team firing. It's a night and day difference. He fired the entire 500 person team, not just management.
They used to put out many many more stations every day until someone threw a fit and fired the entire supercharger team. Brilliant move. They were finally starting to put more in rural areas like truck stops and targets. Now they are down to a few a week in NA.
At least the Rivian sites will happen in a reasonable time. I know it’s only 17 but a lot of the superchargers have been in development for over a year.
Vastly different kind of rockets. The new shepard blue origin rocket is suborbital and made to be cheap to launch and have as many people as possible. Look at their orbital and interplanetary rocket the new Glenn. Looks like a typical rocket.
