This over reliance on llms is crazy. People are going to forget how to code. Sometimes the llm makes up shit or uses the wrong version of the API. Sometimes it's easier to look up the documentation and write some code.

The dudes who did this are going to probably be visited by homeland security or FBI. Not sure what they thought they will get out of this. I don't think the government cares about security, but they are vengeful.

It describes the details:

Driving distance 1,010 km (627.6 miles)

Total driving time 14:42 h

Ave. speed 68.7 km/h (42.7 mph) including vehicle static (1:57 h due to border crossing and driver change); 79.4 km/h (49.3 mph) in motion

Ave. consumption 7.4 kWh/100km (8.4 mi/kWh)¹, equalling around 0.9 l/100 km or 282 MPGe for a petrol-fuelled vehicle

Unless you own a house I don't think it makes sense to get an electric. I barely like sitting 5 minutes at the super charger which at least for me was giving like 180kw and then it just drops off a bunch, and now the super chargers are getting more full.

The biggest challenge is the battery which is what byd originally made. Electric motors have been around for a long time. The first cars were electric.
