CYR3S, if we're going to add Roadster and Semi, both of which are allegedly still in development.

You already have it. Musk's earliest promise of a $30k price point appears to be an interview in September 2009: https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2009/09/25/teslas-elon-musk-on-... Adj…

3YC is the new S3XY.

Fascinating, I wasn't aware of that. They still offer an "AWS Snowball", which is 200 TB instead of 100 PB, but around the size of half a full size suitcase instead of a semi truck…

I tried setting that up, but now the trucker's union is refusing to talk to me, citing concerns that the platters will all spin up due to road vibration, derailing the truck in a d…

Neywiny's comment upthread isn't that you should use these without a BMS, but that the review is relatively less useful because it's stopping testing at a relatively high voltage. …

Some of us enjoy fixing things like these over and above the hypothetically fungible billable hour, and whether you can substitute some time in an evening with a billable hour or t…

You also have the option of building your own battery pack for these, or to disassemble an existing pack and replacing the cells. How difficult that is depends on the manufacturer,…

I'm aware of your and the GP's claim, I'm saying it doesn't survive contact with reality. If you look at e.g. the per-dose price of insulin it's as low or lower in countries with s…

If "rapid reusability" was a proxy goal for maintaining a given launch pace we wouldn't need any of this. We could just construct 200 Space Shuttles and spend months refurbishing t…
