buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 23/07/2026outsider stupid questions - any reason making them register (easily ideally) and just make them charge mta prices (give $1 fee to mta?) unworkable? really big and burdensome? unions don’t want competition? 010
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 14/07/2026seems like rollout # of robot arm trucks is the biggest physical constraint of current approach. I'd love if they lengthened 2x rollout timeline but with 2x frequency vs stretching resources thin I'm sure to your point it's very influenced by labor and uncreative thinking but bet # an excuse soon 051
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 06/07/2026yes basically all soft costs(or tariffs) especially on small systems. australia vs usa is like houston vs nyc on housing. balcony solar can sidestep this in a very lame/american nimby way (: 170
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 02/01/2026" [BYD] Passenger BEVs accounted for 2,256,714 units, growing 27.86 percent year-on-year. [BYD] Passenger PHEVs totaled 2,288,709 units, down 7.91 percent year-on-year. " 000
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 02/01/2026This would look even worse if PHEVs were not starting to decline since mid-year. BYD is a lot more PHEV-heavy than their upstart EV-only local competition chipping away at BYD's sales lead cnevpost.com/2026/01/01/b... 100
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 31/12/2025thanks. yeah i want a 36" all-in-one unit. impulse recommended accompanying ovens are an additional 5-7k. Prob will end up with Charlie or wait for a mainstream competitor 010
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 31/12/2025check out pila as well. will brownstone owners like me end up with semi off grid distributed solar/battery kitchens like we are a rural village in global south :O 010
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 31/12/2025mostly just the usual and whole system out of date (which fixing involves nyc costs). anytime you can pay national prices for a drop-in retail solution it really highlights how high those costs are battery models do have some nice benefits and is a loophole around the NYC home battery rules. 3-5kwh 100
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 31/12/2025waiting for battery 120v models to come out with a 36 inch version to swap out ours. yes, not wanting to do normal 240v/panel upgrade ties in to the usual NYC code/cost stuff 210
buffalohird.bsky.social @buffalohird.bsky.social · 25/04/2025been following this one would love to see the floorplate efficiency info once it's available. Will it actually be the worst-case 5x space for non living space or just more expensive and less centralized? 110
