THE MORNING RANT - Pepsi About to Receive First Tesla Semis (Subsidized at $40k Per Unit By US Taxpayers); Severe Head Injury to High School Girl Spiked By “Trans” Volleyball Player
Tesla Inc is starting Semi electric commercial truck production and PepsiCo Inc will get the first deliveries on Dec. 1, the electric vehicle maker's chief Elon Musk tweeted on Thursday. Back in 2017, PepsiCo reserved 100 of Tesla's semi electric trucks as it sought to reduce fuel costs and fleet emissions.Well if Tesla is willing to use its capital for research and development, and if Pepsi is willing to put up its money to get the product launched, then the marketplace can sort out whether there is a functional use for this product, and if the technology is ready. If only…
The truck is expected to cost $180,000, although it would qualify for a tax break of up to $40,000 under a U.S. subsidy program approved by the Senate.Our government’s reckless spending has created the runaway inflation that is destroying family budgets and making the basic necessities of life unaffordable for millions of Americans. So aren’t you glad to know that you as a taxpayer are subsidizing over 20% of the cost of this green PR-stunt for Elon Musk? As you vote tomorrow, remember that our current Senate believes that taking money from your wallet to subsidize Tesla and Pepsi is a better use of your income than leaving that money in your wallet for you to spend.
A girls' high school volleyball player in North Carolina recently suffered severe injuries to her head and neck after a trans opponent spiked a ball into her face. Early last month, Hiwassee Dam High School competed against Highlands High School in a girls' volleyball tournament. During the game, an unnamed biological male playing for Highlands spiked a ball over the net and hit an unnamed Hiwassee Dam player directly in the face. The girl is still said to be experiencing long-term concussion symptoms, such as vision problems, and has not been cleared to return to play either by a physician or a neurologist.A great many feminists, along with much of the American left, are OK with this. And let’s face it, polite Republicans who fear being called “transphobic” are also complicit if they won’t speak in opposition to men invading women’s sports (and women’s dressing rooms.) Because there is clearly an absence of leadership in North Carolina to protect its schoolgirls, the local school board has chosen to take action by itself to protect its girls. It has pre-emptively forfeited future matches against the school that allows a “trans” biological male to injure opposing girls on the volleyball court.
As a result of her injury, the Cherokee County Board of Education voted 5-1 to cancel all future volleyball games against Highlands High School, citing a "safety issue." Cherokee board member Joe Wood said that "a coach of 40 years said they’d never seen a hit like this. That was really what sealed the decision, at least on my part." Fellow board member Jeff Tatham added that the ball had allegedly been traveling at 70 mph when it struck the girl's face. "I don’t know if that’s faster than normal, but it seemed like it was coming off very fast, abnormally, especially fast," Tatham said. "It not only hit her in the face, then the ball came off of her face with enough force to then go back through the net."Allowing men to physically abuse women in the name of “compassion” for transgenderism is a cultural sickness that must be stopped.

Also, 180K is a substantial cost for a Truck that isn't built up for overnights. And 500-mi won't get nationwide trips done.

2) These things weigh way more than normal semis and are dangerous on roads and bridges
3) Even if they managed 500 mile ranges, that's not nearly enough for long haul trucking.
4) good luck paying for the new batteries in 8-10 years.

Not saying whether that battery truck will perform or not; that cab and chassis is, I speculate, a competitive price.

Viewed objectively, in most areas it is more danger for an individual woman to stand up against trannies then it is to have them steal your scholarship.
And if you try to organize to stop them the full weight of the government will be used against you.
So for now in some ways more tranny stupidity is the best thing - make people see it is more dangerous to let the status quo continue then to fight it.
If there was an opposition party the tranny rapist in VA that got Youngkin elected would be one of the constant things the GOP would have been talking about since then...

No, I don't. The schools do, however, and so do the athletes.
This is a battle, I think, that the women are going to have win themselves. They have recourse: strike. Don't play. "If you want to put me up against (or play on the same team as) a tranny, we won't play. These games won't happen. We stay on that bench until you fix this."
That would probably end this in about six months as athletic programs continues bleeding revenue and achieving nothing and their communities and player families get furious about it. Or the athletic programs die, another scalp collected by the trans movement. But this is a fight they have to fight themselves. Yes, I will be careful with things like school board elections, but the athletes themselves are the ultimate in grass-roots activism in this case.

I saw a story the other day that the Cali AG was investigating ExxonMobile for telling people that plastics could be recycled back in the day.

This is true. But, it wasn't her team that had the guy on it. It was the fault of the school officials of that school allowing him to play.
It is ironic if she did in fact support transsexuals competing on teams but not justification for her injuries as she is a child. The adults in the schools should have done their best to protect her.
Posted by: whig at November 07, 2022 11:11 AM (CXr4y)
That's actually pathetic. Most Diesel semi's that you see on the road have a range of about 2100 miles between fillups, which only take 15 minutes.
This electric Semi is going to be short-haul only, and require at least 2 trucks in place of every one because of recharging time.

The concept they've described is that the battery pack is quick-release, so you swap it for a new fully charged one at a truck stop with some kind of machine and it's faster than refueling a diesel. I'm sure there'll be some way to fuck it up though.

Exactly. Adults are kids today. Play video games all day, cry on tiktok when they have to work, refusing to grow up.
Used to be when you saw someone with white hair you could respect them, know they had wisdom, know they had gone through things in their life. Instead now chances are they're still a perpetual teenager whose toughest time was when someone ghosted them. They're still fixated on getting laid, and partying.

And the value of the battery is so great that nobody will want to own his own and do it as an exchange.
If battery swapping becomes the norm, then the only way I see to make it work is that you don't own the battery at all. The purchase price of the car will not include the battery, and the battery will be either leased or paid for on subscription every time you swap. The owners of those hugely expensive batteries will not want to play Battery Lottery with each swap. On a propane tank, there's a willingness to do that because a propane tank isn't *that* expensive. An EV battery, on the other hand, is a major capital cost.
I could see swapping being the way it works, but not if the car owner is also the battery owner.

If battery swapping becomes the norm, then the only way I see to make it work is that you don't own the battery at all.

Yup. Standards will have to be a thing, which is a serious problem for EVs in a way that the gas fill pipe isn't for standard cars. They can't even agree on the *charging* interface right now, let alone the battery pack.
And the form factor is a problem. To allow for quick swapping, the car has to accommodate that. And to make them quickly swappable, the battery shape and size is a big problem and also has downstream effects on the shape and size of the car. With a cross-vendor swappable battery, the constraints are probably unacceptable because it will make vehicle design much more limited.
I could see in-vendor swapping schemes that could work, though.

When I played water polo, if the goalie was good and getting too many blocks we would start what we called "Goalie Absorption."

Believe it or not, gasoline fluid fires are relatively easy to put out. It is the vapors that can cause explosions. Also any materials released from the fire are not particularly hazardous. Lithium batteries, I would suggest discussing the matter with a local firefighter. In essence, the firefighters are there simply to keep the fire from spreading. If your electric lithium powered gizmo catches fire, its gone effectively.

Electric semis cannot weigh more than DOT limit of 82k pounds in combination. Is it possible the semi itself weighs more than a similarly capable diesel and thus it costs some cargo weight? Sure. But diesels are pretty darn heavy themselves.

Yup, and there will probably never be incentive to do so. Take an unsubsidized business with a similar phenomenon: computer motherboards.
Their sizes are (mostly) standardized, but the layout is not beyond the expansion slot locations. Headers for things like fans differ wildly. Front-panel connectors (for your power light, power button, etc.) don't have the same pin block. Hooking up front panel switches and lights is a pain in the ass because they're all individual connectors. Why are they not in a nice big, chunky pin block that's easy to plug in? Because the pin ordering isn't standard.

The problem with electric vehicles is weight, specifically the weight of the battery. Some models of Tesla car weigh about 6000 pounds, and as much as 40% of that is battery. So 40% of the electricity you pay for is used to haul around the storage medium.
I drive a Suburban. It weighs around 6000 pounds. It has a 50 gallon fuel tank that weighs about 40 pounds empty, and about 350 pounds full. So, with a full tank, 6% of the vehicle's weight is fuel and tank, so only 6% of the energy I pay for is used to haul that energy and its storage medium around. And even that small fraction diminishes as the fuel in the tank is consumed.

Changing out a semi-battery pack will be orders of magnitude more complex, time consuming and dangerous than taking a nozzle from a pump, putting into a fill spout and pressing a trigger.

Sorry Ian, have you actually seen how those forklift jockeys damage stuff already. Imagine poking a hole in an electric battery setup with a forklift fork. Fun times starting with a fire and perhaps frying the forklift operator via grounding out.
The energy density is simply not there and lithium battery technology is getting to be pretty mature.
Compressed nat gas or propane are far better fuels for local truck operations than lithium ion batteries. And diesel trumps gasoline, nat gas, or propane as far as cost and usefulness for big rigs hauling stuff.

Two main problems: (1) the replacement battery packs are so expensive that at the time of the replacement, the cost is probably 75% of what the entire car is worth. And (2) the swap almost never goes smoothly. It's not like putting new batteries in a flashlight. It's almost like doing an organ transplant where there's a real chance the new organ (the battery) doesn't "take" to the body. I don't know why this should be, but it is.

As someone said upthread, the EV craze isn't about pollution or AGW. It's about only elites having free mobility. They'll be the only ones able to afford and maintain EV's.
The rest of us will be sentenced to buses or rail....or bicycles.

I was going to suggest "placenta mining, " but I think I'd better not.

Here's a Top Gear article about it, where they try it out during a trip. Takes about five minutes each time:

If they manage to steal it for Uncle Festerman in PA, the mean IQ of the US Senate will actually be raised a few points ... so we've got that going for us.

IIRC, a battery powered rig would weigh 8 tons more, and that is lost cargo capacity.

If the Feds could get away with subsidizing GM etc and NOT Tesla, they damn well would! I mean BozoJoe had a Whitehouse conference on EVs, proclaimed GM the US leader, and didn't even invite Tesla! What a joke!

Its gonna weigh a ton and need a crane to move it. And what happens if nobody comes back to that same station to pick up the batteries? Who's going to buy all these excess battery packs and store them across the land, or even just the city?

Will the Semi actually work? I'm pretty confident, but my opinion doesn't matter because we will find out for real in a month. But Tesla has been driving prototypes around for years, and Pepsi was allowed to take prototypes and test them. If Tesla is blowing smoke I don't know how Pepsi couldn't figure out the trick.
Note that if it does work, Pepsi and others want as many Semis as they can get, ASAP. The cost of diesel is bad so these things will pay for themselves really fast in fuel cost savings.
About the $40,000 subsidy: I think it's a bad idea. It's part of the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" and I don't think the Dems did the math on how much they are spending. And Tesla doesn't need the money.
About battery swaps: Tesla has no such plans. A Tesla "Megacharger" can charge a Semi in about half an hour. This requires about 1.5 megaWatts of electricity. (My house has 200 kW service so that's like 8 houses pulling max load.) If the local grid can't handle it, the solution is to install a Tesla "Megapack" battery to back up the Megacharger.
