Uptime based on what interval?
quote:
The 98% figure is year-to-date fleet uptime in 2026, not “98% uptime over a million-mile truck life.” Tesla said its Semi customer fleet had logged more than 19 million km / 11.8 million miles and was running at about 98% uptime YTD as of September 2026.

Sure there are less maintenance items until there aren't
quote:
What we do know so far is that the Semi fleet is accumulating millions of commercial miles, uptime has been around 95–98%, and an EV eliminates a lot of diesel maintenance items entirely—engine oil, emissions equipment, fuel system, transmission, etc.

The only things keeping me from considering an EV are
I think my wife is about to buy one. She is tired of driving she says so she wants full FSD
She loves the look and cost of the Cybercab but you can't buy them for personal use yet, though Tesla says that's coming.

If people were smart, this is what they would pimp about EVs. The uptime and lifespan on electric vehicles is exceptional compared to ICE powered stuff.
Tesla has done a good job addressing battery degradation but that is still a concern for many
Tesla launched high volume production of it's Semi truck

Targeting a production capacity of 50,000 semi-trucks annually
These are not driverless, but I imagine that's not too far in the future
What this will do is save on diesel, DEF, and maintenance. Fewer moving parts = less maintenance. They claim to have a 98% uptime.
This X thread from Tesla Semi answers a lot of questions
Queue the Elon haters here who used to love him but now hate him because he backed Trump. Looking at you UFF, and a few others

The image is fake but the fact that it could be real is what makes it hilarious

Come on Barbie, let’s go latke!
This week, Mattel debuted its first official Hanukkah doll as part of the legendary toy brand’s Holiday Sweaters collection.
The $28 toy is part of the company’s upcoming Holiday Sweater collection, which also includes two Barbies — one blonde, one Black — dressed in red-and-green Christmas sweaters that light up when you press a hidden button.
They have Barbie’s iconic swishy hair, shiny lips and Malibu-approved full smiles, along with the doll’s wide eyes and button nose.
The Hanukkah Barbie is a little different.

This week, Mattel debuted its first official Hanukkah doll as part of the legendary toy brand’s Holiday Sweaters collection.
The $28 toy is part of the company’s upcoming Holiday Sweater collection, which also includes two Barbies — one blonde, one Black — dressed in red-and-green Christmas sweaters that light up when you press a hidden button.
They have Barbie’s iconic swishy hair, shiny lips and Malibu-approved full smiles, along with the doll’s wide eyes and button nose.
The Hanukkah Barbie is a little different.
First, there’s her outfit: A cobalt sweater printed with a giant menorah, baby blue dreidels, and tiny snowflakes along with blue Stars of David.
The Dreamhouse resident also sports blue checkered leggings and tiny Ugg boots — adorable, but likely the first thing she’ll lose while playing “summer camp color war” with the other dolls.
But although Hanukkah Barbie maintains the same super-skinny shape embodied by bombshell Margot Robbie in the “Barbie” movie, this version has olive-toned skin, a mane of babka-colored brown hair and eyes, and a closed half-smile with a matte finish.
She’s also got a schnoz — one that’s noticeably more pronounced than the noses on her Christmas cousins.
A seeming update to Barbie’s “Violet” mold, which was first created in 2018, the Jewish doll’s punim has an angular, jutting nose that’s more closely aligned with a stereotypical semite than Barbie’s traditional California-girl profile.
“The nose seems to have more of a bump to mimic more ‘Jewish’ facial features,” noted one Redditor.
“She looks different,” mused another commenter. “Her nose appears more prominent.”
On Reddit, several users even claimed the nose was “hooked,” referencing a downward-curving septum used to vilify and “other” Jews for centuries, including in World War II propaganda and as a template for Disney’s Wicked Witch in “Snow White.”
“She deserved better,” grumbled a Barbie fan online about her overall appearance, including her “printed, cheap” outfit.
She has a big nose because air is free.

to acknowledge that the data is clear
I like how you skipped my post showing the data is suspect because the methods and methodology have changed considerably
quote:
but I'd like to know what it's made of, from what I'm seeing it looks like it could be flower petals and wood which is all biodegradable.
Look, man, I have to buy overpriced urea to put in my truck and if I delete that same truck, no dealership will buy it from me out of fear they will get massive fines from the EPA, so forgive me for not wanting foreigners to be allowed to dump garbage in our waterways no matter what it is made of.
This is all dyes, paper, plastic, etc. Some of it is biodegradable and some not, but regardless, it shouldn't be allowed, and they should all face the same penalties as any of us would for dumping trash into a lake.

the last 30 years of data
Around 30 years ago we changed from old liquid-in-glass thermometers to electronic MMTS sensors, amongst many other changes
Just in the past decade, we have changed how we measure from the previous decade, and to account for that, we use a man-made methodology that can be subjective.
quote:
Some of the tools and data systems used today are different from those used in roughly 2005–2015.
Weather stations have been upgraded or replaced in some locations.
Ocean measurements increasingly use newer buoys and autonomous floats.
Satellite instruments and satellite generations have changed.
NASA changed its global land-station dataset to GHCN v4 in 2019, expanding the available station network.
NASA changed its ocean temperature dataset from ERSST v4 in 2015 to ERSST v5 in 2017.
Data-processing and correction methods have also been updated.
So, yes: the exact instruments and processing systems are not identical between the two decades.
But the older and newer measurements are calibrated and adjusted specifically so researchers can compare them across time. NASA’s current temperature series recalculates the historical record using a consistent methodology rather than simply comparing an old thermometer directly with a new instrument.

Might as well be true. They blame everything else on climate change
