Only once did I have a pleasant experience at a destination hotel, I was able charge overnight to a full charge and was able to make it home the next morning about 250 miles on that charge and the charge was free. However when I first arrived at the hotel on previous day the two charging...
"Spending a few hundred million a year doing this is a cost of doing business to them. The retail sales of gasoline alone in the US only are in the $billions a day. A $100 million here and there is peanuts to them". this is what Jack Rickard said years ago on his podcast. you probably know...
For me the bug-a-boo with charging is that the destination hotels don't have overnight charging. One would like to arrive at the hotel and visit. Well no, "Kilowatt hour breath" you have to drive across town in traffic, sit at a charger for an hour drive back, another 20 minutes in traffic...
Mr. Car Crazy, Did you get to watch the SpaceX flight 12 launch? We are planning to drive down to watch a launch when they get more reliable. We used to go to SPI for windsurfing once a year.
OP said it would get total EREV 690 miles range but 140 miles EV only. So how does that engine generator setup produce 550 miles. Generators are terribly inefficient and can't possibly generate 550 miles. Well, So I'm wrong, AI says it could get 540 miles, even 700 miles. But I'd hate...
Hmmff. my initial reaction is why bother. with a battery and motor. Ya still got that internal combustion engine to deal with plus now a generator. what is the efficiency of the the generator. slip rings or brushes to maintain? Down here on the coast "Generac" has a terrible reputation.
last year two electrical workers were hit and killed walking on the side of the hi way by a person having a seizure. I've stated many times this would not have happened in a Tesla and I've gotten no response, not even a "really?". Finally our pastor this week has experienced a Tesla from a...
That post is still there, it's not deleted. I Really don't like that stuff in this forum and I don' t like being associated with it and the one that inadvertently caused it to be posted.
Thanks CyberGus for your responses and like wise to the others here that have posted, the more I reflect on the encounter from other things that he said it is that he just didn't like EVs and especially the truck. Not going to quote his remark about the truck, I might get it wrong but he did...
There are five firefighters I know, three of which are in my morning Bible study group. The other two are definitely not the way you speak. But totally possible that some are.
Outside our rural post office I saw my wife through rear view side mirror chatting with a man pointing our CT. Thinking he wanted to know about my CT which I get a lot so exited to join the conversation. It turns out he was a local fireman (might have been the fire chief as he seemed to...
I hate to think our trucks would look like that after 4 years of non washing. we had the same stainless handrail at our previous residence in Nassau Bay Texas. You live in South Padre Island, is that right? on the bay side?
