@JoshWest247 @MdeZegher @CityofLacey @PSETalk The contractor on these permits is Blackstone, who is the normal contractor working on most of the Seattle area superchargers. They’re just awesome everyday 😄

@XylaFoxlin There's now a product called the "O3 Armer" that lets you use an 03 air unit without a flight controller. You still need the goggles to configure them, but we're so much closer! Besides, wouldn't it be super cool to have goggle DVR even if the camera is lost or destroyed 😆

@antio @SawyerMerritt @Tesla Gas stations wouldn’t put those canopies in if they didn’t have to. They house mandatory fire suppression systems.

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

@fylzon @wolfpackberlin @Tesla @elonmusk No idea how Germany does it, but in the US you don’t need any permissions. As long as you’re taking off and operating from public land, anywhere <400 feet is free game. The people / FAA own the air, not private property owners.

@TechConnectify I found their citation for 1Mw. In their tech specs PDF on page 26. Even they say the best they've done is 0.9Mw 🤦

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

@nirmsk Brazen starting move! It paid off though!

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

@klwtts For most, an ev is about saving money on fuel. If you’re not driving enough to see those savings, it’s hard to justify paying more. Plus, you burn a huge amount of fossil fuels flying. Throwing 10 more gallons on the fire isn’t moving the needle much.

@vitorrigonibx I use it all the time. The dishwasher is loud, so I only want it to run late at night when I’m already asleep. For the washer, I’ll run it when I’m away and want to time it to be finishing as I’m getting back. That way the clothes don’t sit there wet for a while.

@pacodelacruz @logicappsio @apretth Hi Paco!
Great question! That was an honest configuration miss on our part. I'm going to update the action to make the setting available in the portal. For now, if you add "isSessionsEnabled": true" to the parameters of your trigger, the functionality is working 🎁

[Nitasha Verma @_NitashaV]

Check out the capabilities the Logic apps team has added to the Standard SKU. Automation tasks for event replication, SQL provider for your Logic apps, Export your consumption SKU Logic app to Standard and more!!

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

The first major feature I’ve worked on after moving back to software development! Glad to see it getting recognized 🤩

[Paco de la Cruz @pacodelacruz]

Now in preview release, the built-in @logicappsio Standard Service Bus trigger with peek-lock in stateless workflows.

@davidebbo We have an S and a Pilot, small world 🤣
We’re holding out for cybertruck or similar for ground clearance and chunkier tires. 8” vs 6.6” is difficult with all the trailheads we head to.
New Y deliveries are pushed out to May, so cybertruck should be available by then 🤷‍♂️

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

@TeslaMiles @BLKMDL3 Just a few more miles 🔋🔋🔋

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

@davidebbo That would have done the trick as well. If this turns into a regular occurrence that may well be the way to go 🔋🔋🔋

Gas car: 0
Electric car: 1

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

You just need to be careful to not crank the gas car while they’re plugged in. I charged for about 2 minutes then unplugged before starting.
It only takes a few seconds to pop off the nosecone. https://t.co/jKTZyhtJsI

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

For some context: I haven’t driven the old car much since getting a Tesla, but it’s been very useful as a phone booth in the pandemic and we drained the battery. @davidebbo asked about using a Tesla to jumpstart another car a little while ago

[Alex Karcher @AlexKarcher]

@klwtts I’d love to see the 0-60 impact of the extra weight of those seats. Tesla claims it’s the same, but I’d be surprised if it is.
