@brandenflasch Despite UL/IEC/SAE/ISO and other standards globally defining basic requirements to provide safety interlocks both physical as well as backed with monitoring intelligence in the adapter that are being wholly ignored in order to get a product to market.
@wholemars@starnevs Thatโs a bit of an exaggeration, but it isnโt as simple as swapping in the steer by wire rack. 48V mid voltage system needs to replace the 12V system, so components from Cybertruck or new 48V electronics would be needed, New wiring harnesses, might as well go 800V HV too.
@ChadMoran This port does presumably allow for both AC and DC charging using the same pins.
I was just educating a first time EV owner. He didnโt understand his Ionic 5 N needs both an NACS adapter for DC fast charging and an NACS-J1772 adapter for AC charging using Tesla chargers.
@somejwm @clearSNR@argoexp@Mark_J_Perry Lower wages? How much of a pay cut are you ready to accept to go with the higher prices of everything while the tariffs are in place to force businesses to move their repatriate their production and supply chains to the US? Recipe for economic disaster much?
@somejwm @clearSNR@argoexp@Mark_J_Perry How much more are you willing to pay for your next vehicle? $3k, $5k, $15k while we wait for manufacturing of all the parts that go into an โAmerican madeโ car to be built in America? $250-$500+ more for your next TV and cell phone? Americans canโt afford that in masse.
@somejwm @clearSNR@argoexp@Mark_J_Perry What happens to our economy in the mean time? Tariffs thrown out in the most ham fisted way. Itโs not a black&white tariffs good/bad situation. Itโs about whether they are being intelligently implemented in a way which allows a predictable and safe path for businesses to adapt.
@clearSNR@argoexp@Mark_J_Perry This is the crux of the issue. You cannot easily or quickly move any of these manufacturing sectors back to the US. Not without 3+years MINIMUM. The machinery, the supply chains, the construction or renovation of factories all take not weeks or months but years.
