@GottaLaff As there is no w3c who would offer "activitypub forr chargers", it would be serious bullshit to overcome.
Sounds like Ivan Muskovite got a special order from his master in Kremlin to subvert the transition to EV, to keep demand for gasoline & oil high and help Ruzzia to finance their war machine.

The big thing slowing sales is high interest rates. They are sapping energy out of the whole economy. Why, to harm Biden's reelection chances.

@GottaLaff the quotes in the article from the people kissing his ass. Lord.

@Wileymiller Or why our damn govt is codependent on him?

@GottaLaff I said it elsewhere, but I expect him to spin up a new company (incorporated in TX, of course) to offer charging. Naturally $TSLA will license the rights and existing superchargers to this new company for what the Chief Fascist Officer insists will be a fair price.

I suspect I'll know whether I'm right or not in about 3 months.

@kithrup Ugh

@GottaLaff I assume the ugh is because it's plausible, and I agree.

@kithrup Yes. I was using it as a future ugh.

I doubt it. Less money coming in means slower expansion plans. Because of the NACS adoption, the Supercharger network isn't as vital. Before it was a necessary cost to make Tesla cars viable.

Note, CCS didn't exist when Tesla standardized their charging plug.
