The poll shows that public views of Musk are increasingly polarized, with Republican support of the billionaire rising while Democratic support falls.

Elon Musk’s support among Democrats has withered to a new low as he has embraced Republican politics, according to a national NBC News poll

Only 6% of Democrats in the poll, which was conducted Sept. 13-17, said they had positive feelings about Musk, while 79% said they had negative feelings. The numbers were flipped for Republicans, with 62% having positive feelings toward him and 14% negative feelings. Independents were split, 31% to 36%. 

The poll shows that views of Musk are increasingly polarized, reflecting the transformation of his public image in recent years from that of an environmentally aware automaker crusading against fossil fuels to that of a conservative activist aligned with former President Donald Trump.

While funny... I think you underestimate how big the battery in a Tesla is and also how little power the computer would pull.

THAT said... I wonder if there is a drive somewhere that could be filled doing that?

From what I understand, it wastes an extra ~2%/hr. A tragic sum, if done repeatedly throughout the week. I think it overwrights old data as the drive fills. I can’t see utility in that, aside from mischievously scrubbing old footage.

It's nowhere near 2% an hour. It's like ~300w/h to keep it all running, and they said they were going to reduce that further by 40% in the near future, so ~180w/h

300w/h on a 62kw/h (model 3 standard range) battery is 0.48% an hour. You'd lose 3.82% for an 8h workday, and soon to be 2.29%

And the % would decrease as the battery is larger like a long range vehicle.

I'm not saying this is ideal, but 2%/h is just flat out wrong, and almost a whole order of magnitude after the update.

Correct.

Although it should be it uses 300w/h on a 62kwh battery.

I did the battery unit wrong.
