“Court of Appeal and King’s Bench [judges] are chosen by the federal government. In fact, I just wrote a letter to [Prime Minister] Mark Carney saying maybe we should look at a way, now that we’ve got some openings on King’s Bench, for us to have a joint process to choose those judges so we start choosing judges in Alberta that reflect the values of how we want them to operate here.”

Emphasis mine.

Like wtf... that is exactly what is NOT supposed to happen. They shouldn't be ruling on values, they should be ruling on the god damn law.

The chalk messages were written just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, prompting Miller’s wife, the podcaster and former communications official Katie Miller, to post a message of defiance on social media.

“To the ‘Tolerant Left’ who spent their day trying to intimidate us in the house where we have three young children: We will not back down. We will not cower in fear. We will double down. Always, For Charlie,” she posted via X on Sept. 14

There was so much hate on Tesla for this saying it was all fraud, while Tesla was adamant it was just backlogged paper work.

Hopefully those who prejudged and were harsh to the company online about this incident, can come to see that not everything you read online is true, and that maybe, just maybe, you should actually wait for the final results before condemning a company for something like this, and stating it as fact.

I'm shocked... really, like, i 100% knew that was going to be in there article. So actually, I'm not shocked. Fuck you Alberta.

There's been a lot of talk about SMR's over the years, it's nice to see one finally being built.

Even if it comes in over budget, getting the first one done will be a great learning experience and could lead to figuring out how to do future ones cheaper.

Assuming it's on time, completion in 2029, connected to grid in 2030.

I hope everyone can now stop with all the it has no crumple zone so it's a death trap comments.

I guess that means doubling down on the pedestrian death machine now.

Full report is available from the website

Edit: Also the report is dated January 14th. This is before Trump.

So, the recall is more than the rear camera, there was a software/hardware combo problem that could cause the HW4 computer to short, which took out major functionality on the car without the computer.

The backup camera is part of what is lost, and is a mandatory safety feature, so the recall is technically because of that, even though it's much more than that.

What I find interesting is that this appears to be the 2nd recall where software has physically broken hardware which is a more uncommon type of recall. Lots of hardware problems that can be fixed with software, but not a lot of software problems breaking hardware.

The other one was on earlier Model 3's they were logging too much data, and they actually went through the lifespan of the memory in the vehicle. Once the memory was dead the vehicle had problems. The fix was to log less. They eventually had to address that, but it took a long time to properly acknowledge.

Tesla said a reverse current may occur while powering up the vehicle, which could cause a short circuit on the car's computer board and result in the rear-view camera becoming inoperative, the automaker said.

The automaker said the issue was the result of a sequence of specific software and hardware configurations, coupled with colder temperatures.

Tesla said it has already pushed a software update to vehicles that changes the vehicle power up sequence to prevent the shorting failure. Tesla will identify any vehicles with a circuit board issue and replace the car's computer if necessary.

The automaker launched an investigation after seeing an increase in car computer replacements relating to short circuit issues in November.

Tesla said it has 887 warranty claims and 68 field reports related to the recall but said it is not aware of any collisions, injuries or fatalities related to the condition

Tesla said Model 3, Model S and Model X vehicles in production also received a different car computer variant after Dec. 16 to address the issue.

The issue affects 2024-25 Model 3 and Model S vehicles and 2023-25 Model X and Model Y.

The company’s letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated the door handles could allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which may lead to the doors opening unexpectedly.

According to Volkswagen, the production halt could last until the beginning of next year as it works to resolve the issue.

This was a really good interview, worth the watch!

It doesn't say what was changed but that makes it a great price again.

It also really messes up the pricing between the 3 RWD which doesn't qualify and the AWD that does since it's only a 1k difference now. I wonder if we'll see them lower the RWD or potentially raise the AWD price?

So both Rivian and Tesla have or say they are going to have range extenders for their trucks, but in both cases even if they are removable and rentable they are huge as trucks are huge. In teslas case it seems to be a permanent change though.

What about commuter cars though?

One thing we really need is cheaper in city commuters and those don't need a long range. That brings costs down and gets more people into EVs, but those will get relegated to 2nd cars in many cases.

If those commuter cars could go to a shop and get an extender added in the trunk though that would make them much more capable of longer trips as well while keeping costs down.

If the battery rental is similar or less to renting a car for the same period then people would opt to use their own car for the longer trip and all the personal comforts that provides.

The batteries would be much smaller as well for a smaller vehicle.
