For the trolls

Do you think that Jack is "a little" upset with mudder's review of the v3 prototype Na -Ion battery?

 

Let's not have another thread that goes all personal. (Haven't watched the video, so maybe it already had, I don't know.)

 

Watch the video. I think that Jack needs to learn about anger management. I can't believe that Jack posted the video on YouTube.

 

I think it would be disingenuous to call mudder a troll.

Mudder is doing a teardown and commentary about a product. These types of videos are kind of ubiquitous across the internet.

The commentary on these videos certainly can be helpful for decision making and for product improvement.

I commend Jack on his entrepreneurship and vision. I recognize the hard work he puts in every day on his product and business.

Hopefully mudder's videos have identified items that can be looked at as constructive criticism. Taking it too personally would make it easy to miss the knowledge that could be gleaned.

While mudder may be a new name in the Prius community, he is well known for his decade+ work in the Honda community.

Mudder already has shown his ability to create a viable lithium battery product. It is for the Honda Insight community to convert their cars to Lithium. He didn't design the batteries, but did design the integrating hardware. It can be readily bought from one of the big battery suppliers. Additionally it is open source for the public to copy, modify and iterate.

Much of the lessons learned from that product could be used in a Prius version of the product.

I am worried about this posted video by Jack. It doesn't quite address some of the concerns brought up about the product.

More importantly, to me, it doesn't put him in the best light. It doesn't feel like the usual quality of Jack's other videos.

It appears like Jack has been served a cease and desist relating to warning Jack to stop privately making false statements about mudder's professional reputation.

Watching a video like this makes me worried that Jack may (inadvertently?) cross the line and create even more problems for himself if he doesn't follow his own advice to "calm down"..

Trying to remain positive for future product improvements.
