They've already announced that the new Xbox is made by ASUS so I think that confirms my long held suspicion that they're transitioning to an XBOX store for PCs, much like the XBOX Ally
It doesn't matter. Your argument is based on jurisdiction, so why does EU have jurisdiction over foreign nations operating in their region and Spain doesn't?
I don't have any kids. But I've been in similar situations. My previous employment place used Facebook for company comms. I spoke out about it many times. I've volunteered for multiple orgs and asked them to move to Nextcloud several times and they just refused. I've even turned down volunteer opportunities because they refused to communicate over anything other than Google Chat. No one cares.
Brother, you've lobbed an absolute myriad of dumb takes here. And you've just added another one. Slate is not even remotely owned by Amazon. None of the executives are from Amazon. CEO Chris Barman is from FCA, Rodney Copes is from Harley Davidson, CFO Ryan Green is from Rivian, CCO Jeremy Snyder is from Tesla, other executives come from Stellantis, Ford and GM. Jeff Bezos is not Amazon. He is invested as Jeff Bezos, not as Amazon. And even if he were, Amazon is not ordering the batteries for them. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
LFP is only typically about 15% less energy dense than NMC.
That is significant.
You're dead wrong about EV manufacturers moving off NMC
Prove it.
LFP is cheaper to make and lasts way longer.
It's also less energy dense and charges/discharges slower. We've already been over this.
The tax credit didn't get killed off until the end of 2025.
...it doesn't matter? The tax credits are not applied to the OEM when they purchase the batteries, they're applied to the end consumer when they purchase the vehicle. That's why they immediately raised the price of the vehicle when they ended.
Way after Amazon had already purchased the batteries
...what does Amazon have to do with anything?
(this is well known and documented. Go see for yourself).
It's well known and documented that there is no more tax credit.
The 100k battery replacement is pretty spot on.
No, it's spot way off. This has been proven with thorough studies time and time again.
