When Tesla Superchargers Are Opened to Everyone You Sometimes Have to Take Unconventional Routes to Avoid the Queue...

When Tesla Superchargers are opened to everyone you sometimes have to take unconventional routes to avoid the queue... In this case a VW ID3, whose charging port is at the rear right, parked in the "wrong" parking space and thereby blocked the charging station for that space for all other Teslas that have the charging port at the rear left. A pity, but thanks to all-wheel drive no problem for me ;) I'm thrilled that electromobility is taking off so much and Tesla is now also fo

If this doesn't stop people from ridiculing EVs and battery production I don't know what will.

๐Ÿฅต If this doesn't stop people from ridiculing EVs and battery production I don't know what will.Ever since I'm driving an EV I can't wrap my head around fossils burning for energy. This stuff has taken millions of years to produce. It has been in the ground for millions of years. And then it gets pumped up, refined, transported around half the world only to be burned in a matter of seconds. Once.This can't be the future.Source: https://lnkd.in/eHjJbUbU

Lots of great innovations in that 1950s refrigerator, especially...... those pull-out trays.Where did all those ideas go?I'm sure there are high-end refrigerators out there that somehow incorporate these features - but:in all the low-end or mid-range devices I know these innovations are surely not a part of it.The point I want to make: this is a good example of a product where customer-centricity was sacrificed on the altar of higher profits very early on.#innovation #customercentricity #product

Tesla and Zoom team up to add, well... video conferencing to TeslasAnother example of where Tesla simply thinks and acts out of the box.There's a camera in the cabin already, so why not utilize it for something useful (while we all wait for Tesla Autopilot)?This type of relentless focus on the customer experience, needs, problems is exactly what defines Tesla and why everybody who has ever tried one would never want to go back.It the overall user experience, stupid!#userexperience #cars #teslaSo

This actor was created by an AIIn this case, the model is used for "good purposes", e.g. for video or photo shoots, as a moderator, as a face-to-the-customer in the customer success environment.In the future, however, we will also see more and more "bad actors", i.e. artificially generated 3D models that, for example, emulate an important personality and put words into his or her mouth.The phenomenon is already known today as "deep fakes."The Pandorra's box in this area has been opened.However,

Learned more about history in this clip than during all history classes in school

โšก Learned more about history in this clip than during all history classes in schoolOn the other hand, when looking at my nephew's curriculum and school experience (same school I went to) it seems like a lot has changed already.Still I wonder if schools can keep up with the ever increasing pace of technological developments.In my opinion, schools should increasingly focus on teaching evergreen skills like creativity, social skills, courage to think and act out of the box and entrepreneurship.Thes

โšก This saw stops in 5 milli-seconds to save woodworkers from cutting off their fingersEverybody knows one of these old woodworkers who are missing one or two fingers because they cut them off accidentally.This saw blade has a small electrical current going through it.As soon as a human touches the blade the signal changes, because the human body is conductive of electricity.That makes the blade stop immediately.Any other inventions that are potentially life saving that you can share?#innovation
