I was just thinking "How can an electric car charge at a rate of miles per hour?", but then twigged that it means "(standardised) miles worth of energy per energy."@luka you were talking about charging the Tesla and I asked Dad about it. It seems that there are a few places to charge but they all charge at different speeds. For specialist places one charges at 150mph and another at 300 or something. The range of the car is 290 on a full "tank" I understand so the first one will take two hours to charge it fully. There are some in garages that are much slower and so on - and there is only one there so if some guy is using it you might have to wait six hours for your turn. Also, he has a power cable at home that he dangles out the window to charge it but it will take like ten hours so I guess you gotta do it overnight. Basically what I'm getting from him (although he doesn't really want to admit it) is it's not half as flexible as a normal car. Though I think the problem is not so much finding somewhere to charge it but how long it takes. If there is a journey more than 290 miles then it's inevitable you will have to spend hours charging it.

"We tend to use the Tesla chargers at Telford and Flint Mountain both of which have 8 charging units. Telford with a power output of 150Kw and Flint Mountain at 250Kw. Obviously the higher the power output the faster the charge. The ones at Telford and Flint are obviously quicker. At times the Flint one has started charging at 550 mph."
More importantly, what's the latest on twitter, is he getting it or not? Got a bet riding on this.
do we know any more about this? seems to have disappeared off the headlines.
^It may be months before Twitter is under the control of its future owner, Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk. The world’s richest man agreed to acquire Twitter for $54.20 per share in late April, a price that values the company around $44 billion, but the deal has not yet closed. Employees are struggling with squaring what might be the best financial outcome for shareholders, including themselves, with the chaos of working through the wait.
Musk’s constant tweeting, including trolling of Twitter employees, has complicated the feeling. Workers’ messages in internal Slack groups show Musk has alienated many of them by criticizing Twitter’s policies around speech and harassment and singling outthe company’s top lawyer, Vijaya Gadde, who is well-liked internally.
Elon Musk has threatened to walk away from his $44bn takeover of Twitter, accusing the social media company of "thwarting" his requests to learn more about its user base.
Aww man, I was looking forward to finally - finally! - being able, as a straight, white dude living in a liberal, secular, Western democracy, speak freely on Twitter without fear of being sent to the gulag for inadvertently misgendering someone. 😕
Good. Hope they rinse the cunt."Elon Musk, SpaceX and Tesla are being sued in US federal court for $258 billion for their role in alleged Dogecoin ‘pyramid scheme’."
very naive. my all-time thread of shame.i'm naively excited about the prospects of this. all open source - which is pretty amazing...
It's OK, Matt. We still love you.very naive. my all-time thread of shame.

No fuss was made over this internationally, but a couple of months ago Musk was in .br to do a deal with Bolsonaro wrt setting up Starlink above the Amazon jungle. No idea what for but I assume the endgame is to cover the whole planet. It all went well by the looks of the shots I've seen, inc. this one with a surprise guest.
