  • True, but more competitors should mean the max price they can charge is lower. (Assuming no collusion/buyouts)

  • 'functional' is stretching it I think, were they not on the edge of defaulting again?

    Not that they might not be still, I haven't seen apolitical economic info on them recently.

  • The bottom is going to be armoured to an extent against bottoming out the car etc, so harder to do that (and have it be water/salt proof) through the floor I guess?

    Having your battery eject itself because of a sensor failure while driving at 70mph would be exciting to everyone involved though!

    And it's not as obvious as it looks in the photo. It's a fabric/carpeted texture in a dark recessed pocket (that may have stuff in it)

    It's in no way obvious, I had to look it up to find it in my parents Tesla, even then it took me a while to work out. Absolutely terrifying if you consider that those in the back of a Tesla are unlikely to be the owners who have read the manual.

    My parents had no idea about it.

    This is recent too (about a year old?)

  • I would guess that the hurricanes are the reason it's so reliable? Old, aging power infrastructure gets blown away/broken and gets replaced. This happens all at once in big events when it's expected, so no one bats an eye.

    Elsewhere it would sit there, slowly degrading until it fails peacemeal.
