idk about "clowns"? RIM was about communications. I've managed a LOT of communications "debate" within MY circles. Mostly "engineering debate" which must also include some "humanities" variables. ?? Much accomplished this past decade plus, thanks to Bold. That output has slowed, this past year, tho. Really, BIG really, MISS Bold! lol CB posts historically prove warm up over breakfast, for me. Frequently. lolI guess CrackBerry and it's Circus of Clowns serves a very important political role in how it permits for a channel of voice. Who'd have thought from that perspective it is so much more than just about tech, such a role model.
There's still always the Q20 USB-C Keyboard, but that's another topic....Much done this past decade plus, thanks to Bold. That output has slowed, this past year, tho. Really, BIG really, MISS Bold! lol
No I meant all of us Clowns here in CB2/CC and/or still on CB1, as they referred to us for the CB2/CC launch, not about RIM.idk about "clowns"? RIM was about communications.

Hmm... my point was that as a collection of communication device enthusiasts, little surprise we'd find ourselves communicating?No I meant all of us Clowns here in CB2/CC and/or still on CB1, as they referred to us for the CB2/CC launch, not about RIM.
Weren't we?Guys guys, can’t we all just get along? LMAO……………….ahhhhhhhhhhhhh no
Shocking!Weren't we?
Yeah, about salt melt home made ice cream temps? Lol. Li chemistries just aren't up to the desired task... Yet. Imo. Toyota clearly favors NiMh for northern hybrid markets? A war of chemistries impends. Imo. Stay tuned?Here's an article with a picture of a GM EV truck, and a mention about GM cold weather testing.
Nothing new mentioned that hasn't already been discussed in these threads here on CB2 and CB1. The pictorial/chart included is ok for some reference, but in my opinion examining "cold conditions" in terms of a -7C to -1C range isn't tough enough testing. Gotta test under way colder than that.
The GM cold winter testing site (loosely discussed in the news article) is in an ok location for colder temperatures. I presume that GM does indeed test at suitable colder temperatures, but they (and other manufacturers) would rather not yet focus on those results for impact to EV range/batteries, etc.... The fact that CBC was only able to find/assemble a table/pictorial for at much higher temperatures (barely cold by most of Canadian winter standards), is probably representative of those sorts of facts for marketing or PR, that the EV industry would currently prefer things to bound by.Yeah, about salt melt home made ice cream temps?

Nothing new about human behaviour regulation thru information manipulation. It's what PR types do. Including politicians? Lol. Coaxing lithium ions to behave CAN be done. WithOUT information manipulation! Re Ingenuity on Mars? Collaborating lithium behavior with human behavior proves an enduring challenge. Imo. MUCH exciting activity there and alternatives. Li chemistries will remain a useful goto for a LOoooong time. For a great many use cases. Displacing liquid fuel for ALL use cases hasnt YET happened. Imo. Fwiw.

I don't think it ever will. Energy density and resilience in Li not up to it. Nor will it ever be I think. We'd best move on to antimatterDisplacing liquid fuel for ALL use cases hasnt YET happened. Imo. Fwiw. Lol.
You did miss one point, the batteries do bur really well..........LMAO I love the smell of a burning Tesla in the morning.Nothing new about human behaviour regulation thru information manipulation.

Lol... Still contemplating chemistries for my home built EVF350. Li is pretty low on list. Swappable config permits ready upgrade as chemistry improvements sort out.You did miss one point, the batteries do bur really well..........LMAO I love the smell of a burning Tesla in the morning.

Idk, I've owned vehicles I wouldn't have peed on if they would've caught fire. Lol. Darned 67 Yamaha 305 Big Bear was one. Seven (yes 7 !!) designs for ignition points that model year! 68 "enjoyed" twice that! Yamaha dealer just handed me 6 possibilities to compare and try parked out on the sidewalk. 7th possibility was not available. Loll. A then five year old machine! Lol Never EVER found the right Mikuni float valves. Attempted lapping them. Cylinder flooded out, smell gas, pull over, kill engine, shut off fuel cock, watch gas steam off of hot engine... From safe distance... !!As long as it's not yours
Is that like; “never spit into the wind, never eat yellow snow and never ever fart in a smart car!”Idk, I've owned vehicles I wouldn't have peed on if they would've caught fire. Lol.

That dealer, to his credit, did his best. Yamaha, to their credit, has produced some fine products. THAT vehicle was NOT among them. Lol
EDIT: coworker read and suggested a cautionary disclaimer... Never EVER pee on a burning vehicle containing a 400+V battery!!
Effective method for increasing space... lolIs that like; “never spit into the wind, never eat yellow snow and never ever fart in a smart car!”View attachment 112
