True enough. I agree that many EVs have too much range for an island.
I lived on Kauai for a few years. We had a Nissan Leaf there. We loved it. It had about 100 miles of range. Plenty of range where we lived which was about in the middle.
Sadly, the Nissan dealer on Kauai is badly...
I'm looking forward to this CyberDuck. :)
Our Jeep leaks mice. Tear the side panels off to find and screen the huge gaping production holes So glad the cyber electronics will stay dry.
Once CyberDuck arrives, I'm considering sending the jeep down below as an experiment to see how quickly it...
I suspect that the rare earth elements needed to create the much stronger super-magnets are quite expensive, and this is the reason they are not in all of the motors.
As a retired general contractor, builder, and professional roofer, the more I think about this roll top cover idea for the CT bed, the more I think it's wrong. It breaks the first law of roofing:
1 - Overlap things mechanically.
Calking and fancy seals always fail and leak. Put upper...
I think the best option, is options, plural. Different guys need different solutions.
Roll cover is only one solution for one set of customers. Other guys like me might like a lumber rack. Or others still might want an camper shell.
The point is that this needs to be a truck API rather...
:-) And I don't think a seat belt will save you from a roll off a hill like this. He should never have been up there, and especially not with all around tires like he had. Should have backed out long ago. Notice how the rocks roll the car down hill on the back wheels after the front has been...
People don't make buying choices on logic, e.g. the right buttons or frame. Instead, humans make emotional-logic buying decisions. .. Oh, we think we're logical, but we're not. We run on emotion. Any good salesman will confirm this fact. .. Look at car ads. Do they list features? No. instead...
I also use a GFX device to pre-heat the incoming cold water from the warmer outgoing drain water. It works pretty good for showers. Not so good for doing dishes. And no help for baths, but then I don't have a bath tub. (Local hot springs help out too at times. Everybody's situation is...
Also check out a sliding lockout bar, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/generator-lockout-kit/s?k=generator+lockout+kit which is simpler than a transfer switch box I think, or perhaps it's the same thing you were referring to. Anyway this is what I use for my emergency backfeeding to my house. I...
No.
For me Tesla is about saving the earth from climate destruction! Rivan seems to be about taking advantage of the situation to make a buck. No thanks. Good for them, but no thanks Mr. co_hand_guy.
Just like Space-X is about possibly saving the human species with a colony on Mars as a...
I hear you that you think Tesla should do things some other way, but sorry, I think the word "pop-up", although easy to say and sounds really nice, has little connection to the reality of manufacturing at speed and with great economy.
I got really good and stuck one time plowing forwards in 4WD truck.
As the season goes on you start to run out of places to push snow, so you try to push it over top of the previous bank a little. Trouble was that bank had turned to ice below and I didn't know that. Suddenly my front wheels...
