Not all snakes in the water are bad, FYI. Watch how they swim. If their head is down in the water, you are fine. If they swim with the head and neck up out of the water, they are the venomous Cottonmouth or Water Moccasin and to be avoided.......... or is that the other way around? LOL I had...

It isn't so much a matter of them having not used it, but because as "babies" they have a very limited volume, therefore, as you said, it is highly concentrated. They can only inject a small volume, so nature concentrates it so their small volume is sufficient to kill their prey. When I was in...

Small things, huh? Baby Rattlers are small things for sure. So are Pygmy Rattlers. Don't worry! Gators? Of course! Tell that to the family who lost a toddler to a hungry gator at Disney World. A juvenile cottonmouth bite is not something you will merely "shake off" and keep your limb. Limbs rot...

I'm a newbie to solar. On average (if there is such a thing) , how long would a typical powerwall setup supply non rationed power to a "typical" home during a prolonged outage? 24 hours? 48? 72? A week? Assuming daytime solar production continued as usual, of course, but must also consider...

To put it simply, probably not depending on what you want to stick to it. I have never had stainless steel stick to a magnet before as a kid, however, as an adult, I most desire to see how effective it works as a chic magnet! LOL~

No exclusions. Not even if I were to cover the panels with tarps, and they pay double the shortfall. Now a direct meteor strike is something neither one of us thought of though I must admit.

Today at 1:02 PM Thread starter New Add bookmark #19 Fantastic! Thank you so much! You hit the nail on the head! I'm going to print that out and send it to my solar guy. Yes, our standard rates are 10 cents/KwH. Sometimes only 5 cents. June through Sept it goes to a demand rate for 5 hours...

Fantastic! Thank you so much! You hit the nail on the head! I'm going to print that out and send it to my solar guy. Yes, our standard rates are 10 cents/KwH. Sometimes only 5 cents. June through Sept it goes to a demand rate for 5 hours per day only. I don't remember what the production is on...

Thank you for that detailed explanation. I guess the term "cheap" is relative when it comes to generators, but Generac is an industry leader and the standby I bought at the top of their lineup, so I am pretty sure it is a quality unit. I paid $8500 installed for mine 5 years ago. With hurricane...

I may concede to you about the solar array, Crissa. I was just going by what was written that Elon himself had said, but now it appears some new life may have been breathed into the concept. Like everything else, time will tell. Guessing the probable cost, it isn't worth it to me when I will be...

But you might be spot on correct; I'll grant you that, but I'll bet it will wind up somewhere between your estimate and mine of 10%. Would you care to wager a steak dinner? I'm going to guess those single motor wishers will upgrade to a dual motor for just the 10k difference. Myself, I would...

You definitely have a point there. I am adding a solar array to my home now that is caculated to generate 98% of my needs with the new configuration, so I will likely charge mine during the day. I'm retired, so I can do that (eat your hearts our!) LOL! Mine runs on natural gas rather than...

A WAG, like my 10% figure! At least we agree on something!

Thank you for your reply. I vaguely remember somebody suggesting that the type of sine wave or something, I don't know from a generator wouldn't be compatible with the Tesla. I don't know. Yes, I can run EVERYTHING in my 2700 sq ft home simultaneously and have reserve capacity to boot. Side by...

Kevlar? Is that to complement the 9 mm bullet proofings during drive-by getting shot ats?

I'm finally adding solar to my geothermal, energy efficient home with a 20 Kv (I think) Generac natural gas standby generator. The solar panels are calculated to replace 90% of my home's needs overall, although I am skeptical, they do guarantee production on an annual basis. We have frequent...

Do you have any idea how those spots are managed then? Are they just "collapsed" so to speak?

Everybody knows that. It was assumed while tongue in cheek.

Not only that, but Tesla's infrastructure puts all the others combined to shame. No contest.

How do you arrive at the 40-60% attrition figure, other than from those who placed multiple orders and assuming all but one may be canceled? I don't know, but perhaps one can reassign an unwanted duplicate order? I don't know. Please tell us how you arrived at that figure, otherwise it is mere...
