Hey there we go, now I can be excited about their future… Nice

It's wildly offensive and arguably shouldn't have been made. But occasionally, there's something funny in it.

I think EV battery cells should be standardized and modular to reduce difficulty of replacement and make replacements cheaper and more available so that it could extend the useful lifespan of the car. If you could replace your battery with an off the shelf equivalent used EVs would hold a lot more value.

So... this is a 2-in-1 that is actually repairable? Am I reading this right?

I think the issue there is the tech in EV batteries is constantly changing due to miniaturization, battery chemistry advancements, etc. There has to be some point where the cells are "good enough" to become a standard though. I just don't think we're there quite yet.

true but we figured out things before like this when computer tech was rapidly changing so I do think it's possible while definitely having its challenges.

we need an alternative to needing a manufacturer specific part that costs nearly $15,000 and weighing in a ton and requiring a crane to replace.

I got a fw16 love it.

Is the 12 on the same board as the 13 or is it its own main board?

Care to elaborate?

Man, I love these interactions on Lemmy. So wholesome!

Looks like fw12 is Intel and fw16 is AMD.

Looking at the JerryRigEverything review it's a new main board size.

I considered it, but the specs were too low. Ended up choosing a Google Pixel instead.

Cells pretty much are one of 3 or 4 standard sizes. Getting down to the cell level is pretty tough on a lot of cars though.

New board size was dictated by the smaller form factor I believe. Still will be very interesting to see what options come out in time.

I e got an i3 one of these on order and should turn up next month. I need to buy RAM and an SSD, but I think it'll end up around £750 all in. Will replace my 11yo MacBook Air 11 inch. Mac OS just went in the wrong direction under Cook.

I have. Then I realize Slate doesn't get a chance to change vehicular design without him.

specs were too low

what usage was limited by specs?

how do you use it with one hand?

imo that's the only benefit of having a smartphone. any other computer can do internet calls too

They used to have poor band support in north America, though that seems better now on the 5. I'm still salty about the removal of the headohone jack though.
