EV deal: Jeep Wagoneer S: $35K vs Cadillac Escalade IQ $165K

 7 Tesla POWERWALLS plus a very nice luxury car for $35,000 = UNREAL! - YouTube

That “7 Tesla Powerwalls plus a luxury car for $35,000” deal sounds unbelievably cheap—and it almost certainly isn’t real. A typical Powerwall 3 costs around $8,000–11,500 each installed, meaning seven units alone would range from $56,000 to over $80,000. Even with bulk discounts, real-world quotes (e.g., two units came in at $18,500–$36,000 installed) show the pricing is far beyond $35,000, and that's before including any luxury vehicle . So while the combo sounds enticing, it’s basically too good to be true

mobile dev tools: native vs cross-platfrom

Interesting observation: while Google, Meta, Microsoft cross-platform help develop tools for cross-platform mobile development, internally they mostly use "native" dev tools: Kotlin & Swift.

Too bad mobile web (PWA) didn't get more support or attention.
But even web SPA frameworks are diverse, nothing can be simple anymore.

AI research summary
  • Android: 87%
  • iOS: 60%
  • 67% Native development (Android: Kotlin/Java, iOS: Swift/Objective-C)
  • 33% Cross-platform frameworks 
    • Flutter 46%
    • React Native 38%
    • Ionic (16%)
    • Cordova (16%)
    • Xamarin (11%)
    • Unity (11%)
Those numbers don't add up at all - they total way over 100%.
This is a common issue with survey data where respondents can select multiple frameworks they use.

Kotlin is the recommended programming language if you want to leverage the latest and unique capabilities of Android for your app. Using Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, Android's modern UI toolkit developed in Kotlin, enables you to access the latest and full Android-specific features Making development across platforms easier for developers - Google Developers Blog
