  • Every other EV has a 50% range penalty while towing. This won’t be any different. The ~85 kilowatt hour battery in the state truck is the same-ish capacity as the model Y, but has 2/3 less range total than the model Y. Sadly, there’s no way that it’s more efficient than the model Y.

    That said, for sure using the bed to haul tools would be more efficient, but now you’re talking about using gas tools because there’s not enough capacity in the truck to charge them up between jobs. They needed to make this thing the “model 3/Y, but a truck”, but they failed even at that.










  • No one is going to switch to windows/Linux to run classroom software, especially not instrumentation software. There’s always a terminal PC connected to the instrumentation machine that’s connected to the internet to just send your data to yourself. Gen Alpha kids in the US have been raised on iPads and some are as technologically handicapped as boomers when it comes to desktop OS software.


  • People who want a low cost option are generally not in the Apple ecosystem because the rest of the products are out of their price range. Then, there’s my husband that hates anything that isn’t Windows because he finds macOS and Linux too much to relearn. These products are coming about now to capture the Gen Alpha kids getting ready for college, who are like 90:100 iPhone and iPad users (in the US).
