Scooter Doll (what a name!) at Electrek:
The American automaker recently signed an agreement with Tesla to enable access to the latter’s Supercharger Network in the US and Canada. Beginning in spring 2024, current and new R1T or R1S owners will have access to an adapter that will allow charging on the Tesla Supercharger network.
That settles it: our next car will be a Rivian R1S.
★Putting this out into the universe: I will monetize my channel by the end of the year.
★Starting today, eligible creators will begin to be able to apply to YPP earlier — once they’ve met a threshold of 500 subscribers, 3 public uploads in the last 90 days, and either 3000 watch hours in the past year or 3M Shorts views in the last 90 days.
A great, thoughtful explainer on the current writer’s strike.
★Michael Voltaggio on working at The French Laundry:
On the last day of my stage, Chef told me to hand him my apron. I thought I was in trouble. He folded it perfectly and then escorted me to his office, where a place setting was arranged at his desk for dinner. The food was perfect, but more than that, the sense of hospitality was overwhelming. I have hesitated to go back to eat at TFL since then because this was one of the most important meals of my life—one that can never be topped.
The French Laundry is one of the restaurants I plan to eat at once we can afford to. Chef Thomas Keller is not just a chef I admire, but a person I admire in general. Stories like these are a great look at what it is like to work for Chef Keller.
