    Reckless Kelly did the best cover version of one of my all-time favorite story-songs, Richard Thompson's 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. Although, be fair, it took three of them to play what Thompson played on his own.

    Absolutely correct sir.

    Electrek’s Take

    The only new model in Tesla’s lineup doesn’t have sufficient demand to run all the shifts? That’s very troubling but not surprising. I guess the decision to launch an $80,000-120,000 niche truck that’s worst in class in every regard except acceleration wasn’t the best plan. Maybe instead they should’ve been focusing on drastically improving the core lineup and adding additional models that would be easier to produce and potentially sell in the hundreds of thousands to a million units per annum. If the decision to can the $25,000 car in exchange for a “robotaxi” is even the least bit true the future of Tesla looks bleak. Robotaxis are years and years away not only due to their technical challenges that are so far from being solved but also due to government approvals and the market’s acceptance of such a product.

     

    Maybe Elon will also learn that the anti-vax anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists he’s trying to be buddy-buddy with on Twitter aren’t exactly the EV buying type either. All he’s doing is turning off the people that actually have and would buy a Tesla. Elon needs to go. It would be best if he left on his own but that’s extremely unlikely to happen. The board is full of Elon apologists but maybe if they see their portfolio crashing that will motivate them to make a move they otherwise wouldn’t have done on a moral or ethical basis.

    In one of the first ones where she says " I don't think we were dealing with the top brass" killed me.  I use it all the time now.

    has Bobby ever lashed out on his own subs in the message boards? Cause I've seen screenshots of Nahlin doing  it 

    If he hasn't he's a fucking saint because there is at least once every morning livestream that one of their posters asks a question or makes a remark that would make me spout off.

  6. Pretty good podcast from Lewin and Nathan Johnson about the future of the grid. About an hour but pretty interesting and somewhat promising.

    Johnson seems like a smart guy. 

    Here's the lede.

     

     

    Following Winter Storm Uri, the Texas legislature worked to identify proposals that can increase the reliability of the ERCOT grid. In this week’s episode, State Senator Nathan Johnson, representing Senate District 16 in Dallas and a member of the Business and Commerce Committee overseeing ERCOT and the PUC, shares insights into the proposals that are reshaping Texas energy policy.

    Central to Senator Johnson's efforts is the establishment of a fund aimed at creating microgrids at crucial facilities such as hospitals and police stations. This initiative, now part of the Texas Energy Fund via Senate Bill 2627, secured nearly $2 billion to bolster microgrid infrastructure after receiving approval from Texas voters in a constitutional amendment. Moreover, Senate Bill 1699, spearheaded by Senator Johnson, formalizes the collaboration between the Public Utility Commission and various stakeholders to implement virtual power plants and aggregated distributed energy resources programs, while also mandating the commission to enact measures for reducing residential energy consumption.

    Beyond legislative achievements, the conversation delves into pressing topics such as transmission policy, the evolving dynamics between fossil fuels and renewables, the imperative for innovative regulatory frameworks and incentives for utilities, and the pivotal role of energy efficiency in shaping Texas' energy landscape.

  7. Ffrench seems like a long shot. I'm not sure I recall a win vs Hartline on WR he wanted. I know that Mater Dei and SoCal is important to the staff so maybe that's the reason they seem to like Harris so much.  I know he's a good player but I wouldn't bend over backwards on that one.

    Give me 3. Johnson, Lockett and Moore.

    Honestly, I'm fine with 2, considering our prowess in the portal.
