I'm not sure if your higher error rate is sticky per user or something, but I've tried 10+ times throughout the day and have had 0 successes. They all come back as internal server error. That's why I eventually posted.
These are two different products. It's like SpaceX launching satellites for competitive satellite internet services. They didn't care that they were providing launch capabilities for a competitor and neither should Anthropic. What if Apple stopped allowing you to use an iPhone if you worked at Google?
Can someone find more about why GEICO did this? It makes no sense. Furthermore, they could just increase rates if they found accidents too common.
Also, there are much less safe cars out there for pedestrians such as the Hummer EV (complete behemoth) or Rivian (weighs more than CT and has significantly higher frontal profile which is shown to be the largest contributor to pedestrian safety above basically anything else). If it's about breakdowns, that money comes from Tesla's wallet so would make no sense. Even so, I see Cybertrucks driving daily and haven't seen a broken down one yet.
Look at the weight of some cars for comparison. Modern EVs aren't too far off as you say when compared with comparable performance cars:
Tesla model 3: 3920lbs (SR) 4056lbs (LR)
Kia ev6: 4017-4255lbs
Average new US vehicle: 4100lbs
BMW M3: 3,840-3,990 lbs
BMW M5: ~5300lbs
Audi A5: 3,682-3,990 lbs
Toyota Camry: ~3500lbs
Toyota Prius: 3,097-3,340lbs
Dodge charger: 5100-5900lbs
I'm surprised this isn't more common. The only difference between a heat pump and standard air conditioner is a reversing valve. These are usually $50-$100, and just require one more wire to the thermostat. In colder weather, defrost and fancier controllers are needed, but for mild climates the reversing valve is really all that is needed.
PGE goes up to 66c/kwh during peak now and in San Diego I think is >70c/kwh. Off peak base is 34c/kwh for PG&E. Gas is $4.5-$5/gal so break even I think ends up being near 50mpg ish for a 300wh/mi EV.
