And it's not going to happen soon either. Always dangling the self-driving autocar carrot as that's the only thing that possibly justifies even a fraction of the market cap tesla has.
Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

There's a certain level of irony in that picture in that the word "department" isn't even spelled correctly.
It's somewhere between sad and scary that this is one of the people at the top of the US government right now however, someone who posts childish **** like this online in between dismantling their democracy.
And yet he doesn't understand why people are turning against Tesla.

The Tesla supercharger network officially opened to non-Tesla cars as of a day or two ago.
To keep options open for long trips, I downloaded the Tesla app today and setup an account for charging.
I feel dirty. Very dirty. It would be a last option choice, but it's an option.
Coincidentally, I found a NACS to CCS adapter at a liquidation place last week for $25. $200 on Amazon. Score.

Hmmmmm. AM doesn't seem to have an issue with bonding chassis sections and body panels.
put your money where your mouth is.
To be fair to tesla, producing 6000 cars per year at $250k+ is a far different program than being tooled up for 250k vehicles a year at $100K each. Also not having a kindergarten student as your Supreme overlord that constantly pushes appearance over function helps.Hmmmmm. AM doesn't seem to have an issue with bonding chassis sections and body panels.
Another month and you'll be able to insult the sales person and they'll use it as a disposable object to throw at you.
They're not exclusive users of the tech. It's common in the industry. One of the guys in the UK on my vintage MTB forum had an old carbon tubed with steel lugged frame (bonded) that separated (common with the 90s tech). He wanted to rebond it, so he emailed McLaren in Woking and asked them what they use. The reply was - Unfortunately we can't tell you. What's your address? He got a squeeze bottle in the mail 2 weeks later with a hand written label on it "Use this - Cheers!"
Saw a Ford Lightning charging at the Tesla chargers in Peterborough today.
Since the vast majority of Tesla chargers are still running at only 400v vs 800v architecture, that limits cars like the Lightning and our Ioniq5 to basically 100kw. Not slow, but far from super fast. Lightning guy with a 98kwh battery would be waiting about 1:20ish for a full charge, assuming the curve doesn't drop off too severely past 80%. Even 10-80% is still likely a 45 minute affair.
We really need more 150+kw charging infrastructure out there now that cars with big batteries are becoming more common. Guys with the new Chevy pickups with 205kw batteries, yeah, 100kw chargers are not going to cut it in many circumstances if you arrive really low and need to get back up towards 80-100% again.

So why did the battery need to be replaced?
"Even after enduring 360,000 miles and countless fast-charging cycles, the battery reportedly retained 87% of its original health."
Word is Hyundai wanted the battery for research purposes to see exactly how the battery fared internally on a cell to cell basis, and to learn from it.
If I racked up huge miles and got offered a brand new battery from a manufacturer just so they could study my old one, I'd probably jump at it too - it would be like getting a brand new engine on a high mileage ICE vehicle, it's absolutely going to breathe new life into things and extend it's lifespan.
