Things I learned lately 1 June

  • The newest Porsche Taycan EV can get from a 10% state of charge to a 72% state of charge in 15 minutes. It actually took on 67.5 kW during that time. That’s crazy.
  • Tesla has the lowest maintenance and repair cost of any brand, according to a new study by Consumer Reports. When comparing cumulative costs by brand for years one through five and six through 10, they found that Tesla had the lowest maintenance costs.
  • The main reason not to eat bay leaves are their unpleasant texture that can pose a choking or digestive hazard, rather than any toxicity.
  • Charlie Chaplin had a large age gap in all of his marriages. He was 29 when he wed his first wife, Mildred Harris, who was 17 years old. He was 35 when he wed his second wife, Lita Grey, who was 16 years old. He was 47 when he wed his third wife, Paulette Goddard, who was 26 years old. He was 54 when he wed his fourth and final wife, Oona O'Neill, who was 18 years old.
  • Two members of the band King Crimson played on Peter Gabriel’s song “I don’t remember”, Robert Fripp and Tony Levin.
