If you travel with women, your stops will be longer than charging takes, in my experience. I used to be a pit stop type driver, then learned that I'm much happier if I stop measuring my penis by how much I can beat the time estimates. Now I just don't care and am relaxed. Except the one drive...
I have a One RS, and have used it, but it's not mounted all the time. Do you have it permanently mounted? Powered? I'd love to see your mount. I used this for a first ride video. I had it up higher when riding. I had it out of the way here to get LED turn signals programmed.
A great point. I typically pack around bikes, but it depends on what is going of course and how many people. But here's an example of me using a rack for a medium bike, and while not ideal, it wasn't totally horrible.
I used a wild amount of energy. Towing with a sedan is not a good...
I've kicked this around as an option. I'm not sure I'd be happy doing 500 miles with it. (Bought the bike in San Diego, towed to Los Angeles, rode, then towed to Phoenix.) I bet that with the windscreen off and the bike wrapped in plastic, it would do little to the Tesla range.
I would...
Meh. The difference between stupid and an adventure is whether you made it.
So there we were, towing a CR500 with a Jeep because it wouldn't start, when it suddenly fired up....
Well, when the car was at 1%, I was thinking about how I could hang the back wheel off the trailer and run a string from the throttle to my window...
There's certainly no reason you couldn't tow the bike and regen charge it.
LOL, yeah, I forgot that.
But unfortunately, it is never possible in Buckeye, and that's a 100% required stop for me going to CA with a trailer. There's no way to make it from Quartzsite to the Glendale charger with a trailer. And Buckeye is always heavily used so I can't park sideways, and...
I just thought of something fun. Long ago, I bought a cheap, small Harbor Freight utility trailer. When assembling it, I found that the bolt heads were metric, as you'd expect, but the nuts required SAE drivers. Overall, it was useful, since then I had more options. "Grab me the 15mm and the...
My plan is to start a Montana LLC to own it and another vehicle. That's $10k in saved taxes for just one. I wonder how that affects delivery. I suppose I really need to factor that into the plans now.
Me too. I always hold the nozzle at arm's length, and let it drip dry. I also find that the recycled electrons that Tesla uses are smelly and kind of off color. I don't like it. I'd think for 35 cents a kilowatt, they could give us brand new electrons.
Apparently you haven't seen the super long cables on EV-GO and Blink chargers?
Tesla can do short cables because they set a standard for the charge port location.
Totally agree, and on top of that, a larger trailer would block the space to drive around. It was clearly built with the concept of lower tow ratings for the sedans, not for the CT.
Also, I thought this was a hilarious and smart way to deal with the wait for charging.
I do try to avoid it, but when I do it, I also make a strong effort to avoid peak times.
It's where we have to fuel our vehicles. That's the comparison. Right now, trailer compatibility with SCs is very low.
For my last stop in Buckeye, there was no option at all other than dropping the...
I’ve skipped one to avoid a wait. You don’t get that choice with SCs right now. I just drove 400 miles with a trailer on my M3 today, I had few choices.
