Strictly speaking it's the heavy trucks that do the damage, no issue if they paid their fair share but they don't. The only damage cars and light trucks do is take out the occasional light pole or road barrier. Climate does some damage as well, but not nearly to the extent that the heavy trucks to (assumes properly designed road).
They don't take your odo reading on annual registration renewal?
The leasing figures are included in the Tesla Quarterly reports so you can pick them out there.
Annual car inspections (required for vehicle registration) here routinely log the odometer miles. Seems a lot simpler and a LOT less intrusive than GPS. Tax agencies could just pull that info.
‘revs up‘ told me all I need to know.
Opening the SC network is a chess move regarding Federal/Biden awarding a contract to develop an EV charging network. By having the system open and working for ALL EV's it is proof Tesla could/should get a large portion of the available contract.
I find that unlikely. Locally we have a section of road near a stone quarry and a salt mine, the road surface is distorted by the constant heavy truck traffic near those driveways and at the closest intersection with a stoplight.
As other's have mentioned yearly safety inspections are standard in many places and odometer readings are already taken and reported back to the state. The system already exists. Add in a proportional weight factor and you have fair and easy monitoring of use and road impact.
Why would you need to know where car has been driven. Dont we just need to have odometer reading each year.
Does anyone know what the bridge crane is being used for in relation to the casting machines. It doesn't look like it's used in the individual castings as the robots appear to handle those.
No. Insurance companies do. And garages every 2nd year during mandatory quality inspections (EU-kontroll).
Looking at this makes me think Tesla is moving into a more mature mode of operations. We havent seen a leaked note from Musk pushing for all hands on deck to deliver as many cars as possible before March 31st 11:59PM. All those cars steadily being moved on out. They will be delivered soon and that is all that we care about. Yes some people will paint it as lack of demand if more quantity produced and not delivered at end of quarter, but that is short term.
I did spot a few Model S'es. Don't think mine has been built yet.
I didn't realize it was that few. Shouldn't be that difficult to have newer vehicles send in a yearly mileage report automatically, older vehicles would require some sort of yearly mileage check station I guess in states which don't already do inspections.
I read that. Absolutely no details in the article about the car, and MB’s track record on EVs and their recent statements on the subject have been lacklustre at best.
If the EV charger includes an App designed to report this usage no extra meter would be needed. All that is needed then is an internet connection, or, connection through the power company network over their power lines if such is available for any particular customer.
