Can we use this model in a fixed plan like claude code for which we can pay 100$ / month?

Doesnt look like it. Unless they add a fixed pricing, claude imo still would be better from a developer POV

Looks like i’m in one of those minorities who like going to office. My major point is those spontaneous interactions that i have with my colleagues that gives me a lot of ideas. With work from home all those are gone. Hate commuting to office. An ideal world would be walk to office and have a hybrid model like 2-3 days in office for me.

In India, cost of running a petrol car is almost 7x that of a electric car. Where i live, the electricity rate is like 7 rs/kwh and gasoline rate is like 100 rs/l. My earlier gasoline car had an running rate of like 10km/l which turns out to be 10Rs/km price point. While, in an EV, i get like 250 kms minimum on full charge with a 40 kWh battery which is like 1.12 Rs/km. Also simpler maintainance in an EV and much more easier to drive. No vibration and an almost silent drive. Whats there not to like. Not sure why people hate on EV so much here. Even when i use fast chargers in india, the rate is 21 rs/kwh. Which is still 3 times cheaper than using a gasoline car. For reference, the cars were Petrol -> Honda city and EV -> Tata nexon EV Max. The numbers are based on daily drive in city traffic for 40kms of drive daily.

I charge at home every 4-5 days using the standard 15A-250V socket that is present in every single indian home. So, no matter where i go, i am able to find a socket to charge my car. Whether its a hotel/airbnb/friend's place

Lithium is not the only technology for storing energy at large scale. We have multiple options. I believe one strong point of lithium is the ability to respond almost instantaneously to changing demands which other technologies are still not that good at.
