Exactly, I used to hike to the top of a mountain find a shady spot and work till my battery died then hike back down.

One large consideration on this older hardware is electricity costs and efficiency. I mean they are definitely plenty useful for certain tasks but you might not want to pay to run a fleet of them 24/7 this becomes a larger concern for larger organizations. So it depends on what you want to do with it and your electricity access. If you are getting free/nearly free electricity or are paying for electric heat for your location anyway…

That is just like your opinion man - the dude

They were being shared by default at first and had to opt out of sharing when many were archived. Unsure if it was true of these particular ones though.

I mean I’ve had to replace a battery every 2 years otherwise this data point has kept working.

Who would though? The marketing idea pushed to the public is that no oil changes means they need no maintenance. They are mechanical devices not magical devices. They require maintenance to stay in good working order like anything. Suspension, brakes (although less often with regeneration systems), tires, wipers, air filters, coolant, batteries 12v not just the rechargeable, transmission fluid (gear box oil on Teslas iirc), etc. This no maintenance myth has turned them into throw away disposable e waste. Not to mention the lack of service for repairing the batteries and computers in the USA leading to insurance totaling the vehicles and them ending up rebuilt in Ukraine.
