Is this because there are so relatively few homicides in those countries that to the extent they happen at all they are pretty evenly split and the other countries have so many that it's primarily men in violent situations like drugs,corruption and conflicts?

You need to normalize the data or it's useless. Men drive more especially for work and long haul so of course they will have higher numbers. Men account for most of the DUIs and high speed accidents, women however per mile driven are in slightly more accidents and are more likely

Charging at the

Magic Dock for the return trip home. The charger worked great. Got here at 21% SOC (mistakenly said 30%) after 163 miles and 141 remaining. 2.1mi/kWh so far.
A glimpse into how
@TeslaCharging
will better support
@Ford
and other CCS vehicles in the future! These V4 terminals (still V3 cabinets) have longer cables with Magicdock and a card reader. They are positioned better for vehicles like Lightning and Mach E. Thanks

@WholeMarsBlog
Tesla dropping the prices so aggressively on the Y and 3 over the past year has really hurt the competitiveness of the Mach E. Iโm a Lightning owner but when a coworker was looking for his first EV, it was impossible not to point him to the model Y.
My 3rd friend to get in to a Mach E. Picked up this beautiful GT Performance yesterday ahead of the storms today๐โก๏ธ๐

needs a referral program lol ๐
Which EV truck you should get depends how it's going to be used and the budget. Mine is the Lightning SR which is the most affordable and with my commute and local driving works great for me.

Men are disproportionately delivery drivers, haulers and truckers they are disproportionately working in a position of travel on the road. The numbers are not even remotely close

I'm certainly glad they did it! There is a 30% markup on the cost compared to a Tesla owner if you don't buy the membership. Might be naive of me but it's also just good for the movement in general.
@cybrtrkguy
What I think they are focused on is having a software defined vehicle, fewer trim options and variation along with the 48v, Ethernet and drive by wire aspects. Fleet Management software is also a huge focus and I expect a Ranger / Maverick sized EV that can go in to markets the
