And human occupants will still run the heater more in winter. But it sounds like there could be a future where makers offer a sodium battery and heat pump version of their cars for sale in colder climates.
Running a preheater loop for the heat pump from the systems than need to be cooled, inverter and motor that run better cold,and other optimisations could likely supply cabin heat with very little battery draw, solar pv blended into the exterior could zero that out on an average basis,but 40 below is nothing to play with unless you know exactly what you are doing, even if they say it will still work.
IIRC there are some surprising holdouts, at least in the NA market. For example as far as I'm aware the Mustang Mach-E still ships with a resistive heater.
The VW id.3 costs about 30k. It doesn't have a heat pump by default, but it's a 1,200 EUR add-on. Which probably makes sense; in some markets where it's sold it doesn't really get cold enough that one is of significant benefit.
Interestingly, the Hyundai Inster (20k EUR) and Renault 5 (25k EUR) both have heat pumps as standard equipment.
Vehicle ASHP do little in deep cold temperatures, since the evaporator is necessarily so small. They're mostly effective in the 0-15C range. Note that all EVs have PTC heaters, regardless of heat pump. The PTC is what does most of the work for getting the interior to temperature quickly (they're 5-10 kW).
just fyi for the MY23 and older software 3.8/9 should be available for update, which is a pretty significant upgrade compared to 3.2 or the 2.x builds (which I don't think a MY23 should have but idk).
Probably depends on where your gross margins would be with cloud and if you're higher or lower growth. If cloud will let you grow faster (HA/DR on-prem is hard) and you'll still have 75-80%+ gross margins, why slow top-line growth to do on-prem?
It’s not a real concern for vast majority of businesses. It’s a common excuse but practically no business is outgrowing a cheaper than cloud solution. Maybe on-prem isn’t right first step, but that doesn’t force you to cloud. There’s dedicated servers and everything in between.
On prem is maybe not the best first step but Colo or dedicated servers gives you a cleaner path to going on-prem if you ever decide to. The cost of growth is too high in cloud.
Learning how to run servers is actually less complicated than all the cloud architecture stuff and doesn’t have to be slower. There’s no one sized fits all, but I believe old boring solutions should be employed first and could be used to run most applications. Technology has a way of getting more complex every year just to accomplish the same tasks. But that’s largely optional.
My guess is they want to have a PIN as a short-term credential analogous to the Touch ID, that is, it only works for X hours per password auth before needing password auth again, and then you only get X tries on the PIN before it either locks the PIN out and you need the full password to reactivate it (or I guess it could wipe the laptop à la iPhone).
26.1 feels significantly less laggy (UI frame rate), especially on low power mode, than 26.0.1. But it's still not back to 18.x level of performance. Battery seems to be improved on 26.1 over 26.0.1 also but that seems to be hardware-generation dependent.
Three and a half years ago nobody had ever used tools like this. It can't be a legitimate complaint for an author to say, "not my fault my citations are fake it's the fault of these tools" because until recently no such tools were available and the expectation was that all citations are real.
