Bonus #517: Heat, Cyber Trucks and Big Brother
Added 2024-09-06 23:00:50 +0000 UTC
It’s a hundred ten in LA and we’re losing our minds. Come spin out with us as we talk about air conditioning vents, cyber trucks, and Big Brother.
Totally! I divide my time between Norwood Park and Andersonville, and they're slowly creeping in...

Yes agreed. I'm up and down between Wrigley and LP and they're everywhere

I've seen a bunch of them around Chicago. They look like a mashup of Mad Max and Minecraft. Yeesh...

Listening to Cali complain about heat gives me a giggle when it was just in 80s here in Houston. (But we don't get many arid days lol)

Long Island here! Its the opposite, it’s been cooler than normal on the East Coast. I even got to turn my AC off about two weeks ago. Also, those Minecraft looking trucks are so ugly. I’ve seen two in my area and I just shake my head and laugh every time.

There are lots of videos and TikToks about how flimsy the Cybertrucks are—easy to pull off trim and break the glass roof. Just a sprinkling of them here in KC. My 14yo son seems to be the only one fascinated by them lol

Here to confirm the cyber trucks are all over San Jose. They’ve even infiltrated our beach towns and are a plenty in Santa Cruz, Monterey, etc.

I am in Louisiana where it feels like walking into a mouth. Our 100 year old historic house has floor registers and it is decadent!!! Especially in the bathrooms!

I am in Providence RI. Barely any cyber trucks out here in RI; I’ve only seen maybe 4?

We have floor AC vents and it works just fine. The dog loves to sleep on top of them. (Also, lots of Cyber Trucks in Minneapolis)

I live in Fresno and it’s still over a 100 here. We are in an older home and our electric was over 1000 every summer (nightmare). We did a major rehab and got solar and now our electric is seriously $50. Now when our kids come over they have to wear my sweatshirts. I love it . plus a bonus is because we save so much doe on electric I can pay a little something for your Patreon , yay. So many pluses..

Super random, but I work at a clean energy org & Ben, if you ever need best charging options for a road trip, send to me & I’ll ask our EV experts! (I agree on Cybertruck, and many of my colleagues do as well.)

I love the bay area! 81 there is super hot. I used to live in eureka and when the sun was out and 75 I thought I was going to die.

I'm gonna need Ben to freak out over watching this cyber truck video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA55B1kobnw&ab_channel=JeremyJudkins
What I find fascinating about it is the guy making the truck look bad isn't even a hater, it's a guy who genuinely likes the truck and wants to use it. There's no physical way to open-close the trunk, you can only do it through a button. And the trunk now has a software update which detects objects in the way of the closure and will open if there's something on the side of the trunk so the door doesn't close and break that object (or like, your finger for example)
The dude tests that theory. Results are in the video.....IMO a good example of natural selection.

Everyone hates the cybertrucks here in Chicago. Pretty hideous

And no to 80 degrees air temp

People hate on the SF bay area, but our heat-wave never went above 81 degrees
