No way this can go wrong

lol cool so you're creating a heatsink around the thermocouple(s) that govern(s) charge rate

The thermocouple that ostensibly protects the conductor and terminals of the charge lead from heat cycling out of spec

Sudden failure not likely, but this has a good chance of inducing rapid deterioration in the charging cable and connected parts. Heat, and particularly heat cycling, kills cable insulation and the integrity of conductor contacts. Inevitable in the long run but as long as you stay within the cable's spec this failure should be predictable and take several years if not decades. They're doing their best to slide along the damage curve in ways that don't trip the breaker but DO run the cable and connectors hot in a way that the designers did not intend.

Best case, the contacts wear out prematurely and the connector makes poor contact and needs replacement after enough people complain. Fine, stock part, you replace that with one with less manipulatable thermocouples, whatever.

Worse and most likely case, the cable insulation deteriorates far ahead of the expected lifespan. This can manifest as damage in a number of different ways, the most likely being a line-to-line or line-to-ground fault as the insulation between conductors breaks down. In this case, the charge controller should detect a fault and shut down the breaker until the cable is repaired.

In the worst case, it becomes the kind of thing where "hey if you hold the cable just right it still works" right up until the plastic housing of the grip melts due to the heat and one of those conductors grounds to a surface a person can touch

Anyway it ain't good!!!

besides the technological and regulatory challenges just imagine how loving stressful that’d be as a worker

constantly being thrown into new driving scenarios. sometimes when an accident already occurred. if you make a mistake the company probably pays out huge and you get immediately fired. hypervigilence through a whole shift.

hopefully they don’t make you interact with the customer or there’s a whole nother layer of BS (probs not though since that’d destroy the illusion

some dip in the comments was claiming the tunnels would scale to 50k people/hr by 2029

even if you’re assuming those stupid pods, where in the blue gently caress are 50k peoples worth of vehicles going to dwell? you’d have to build an insane sized platform

I wonder how the public opinion polls would change if a double-digit percentage of people over 65 were no longer answering those polls

hey if those old people die due to not getting benefits suddenly social security is 100% solvent again

nobody else ever sees a payment of course, and perhaps someone’s spaghetti code funnels the trust into a memecoin, and perhaps our employers don’t knock that contribution off of our payroll because it’s still the law so we provide liquidity for the scam economy, directly, forever

but at least we’ll have halted all that filthy socialism that kept the poor and disabled out of poverty for 80 years

I sure hope this is all real actioned hatred and he's actually been ousted. Maybe it's just my broke brain at hand but there's at least a couple people in Musk's orbit smart enough to suggest a PR maneuver to let him continue to operate quietly after people realized nobody fuckin' likes the guy
