    How reliable is model x?

    This is a question you should have researched before buying the car. Model X is not high on reliability, according to CR survey. This is latest cool tech. Reliability isn't its selling point. Consumer Reports puts Tesla back on recommended list as reliability improves

    Sold my Model S after 5.5 years...moving on

    Haha, LOL. Next you will tell me that he is having a 7th kid and lives in a big mansion to be more efficient?:rolleyes: The OP is also moving to a non-EV car because it is more efficient for him/her to not wait longer at the supercharger. You think ordinary people's time is worth much less. But...

    Sold my Model S after 5.5 years...moving on

    @TSLA Pilot , You are aware that Tesla CEO frequently shuttles in a private jet between Los Angeles and San Jose, that burns a lot of gasoline? He is also promoting individual space flights. How much gasoline do you think is burnt to take a person to space just for a joyride? Are you really a...

    Sold my Model S after 5.5 years...moving on

    Why is everyone assuming that the OP got a big gas guzzler V8 ICE car, and a few blaming him for destroying the planet? May be he got a nice 100% renewable hydrogen powered car like this? ;) Or an efficient hybrid like the 52 mpg Toyota Camry that has almost same environmental foot print...

    Drove Audi e-tron Today

    No, I don't. My statement was very clear. Even the ev-blog has a title "Audi e-Tron starts in the lead" for January. EV Sales: Norway Is it misleading when some article is titled "Tesla Model 3 is best selling car in Norway for month of xyz" and next month it is not even in the top 10? Case in...

    Drove Audi e-tron Today

    I meant "so far this year". But we know, there will be a surge in Tesla deliveries soon. You can check it at eu-evs.com.

    Review of Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle (plus planned switch to Tesla)

    That is very good to hear, that Honda did the right thing no matter what it cost them, even when you only had a few months of the lease left. I find the Helium stuff really suspicious. Never heard of this. Don't know if your dealer is just trying to do unnecessary stuff to get more money from...

    Drove Audi e-tron Today

    Is the cell supply problem confirmed? The article says, it is suspected. Lots of supply chains are being disrupted because of the corona virus in China.This may be due to some other missing part(s). I read that Tesla is also buying its cells from a Chinese company now. Hopefully, this isn't a...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    On to hydrogen again! Aberdeen hydrogen buses. 30 kg refill in 20 mins, Not bad for a ZEV bus. Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia started fuel cell buses just las month. Sarawak’s hydrogen bus service hits the road tomorrow

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    OK, Thanks. I read the first one. It seems to say what you said: storage cost of < 1cents/kWh. So I am having a hard time reconciling the NREL battery storage cost with this 2018 article. Hopefully the author didn't make any mistake in coming up with that 1c/kWh. There is a link for 'quietly...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    I browsed all 3 links you provided, but I still don't see how you came up with these figures you wrote: "Utility solar (1-2 cents a kWh) + storage (1 cent a kWh) already lower than operating cost of coal plants and natural gas plants in 2019." I am specifically curious about your storage...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Interesting find. I sent inquiries to 2 to check availability. Haven't hear yet. Possibly next week I will hear back. Instead of random speculation, why don't you go ahead and contact them to see how much discount they are offering? The lease prices for Mirai and Clarity have actually gone up...

    Review of Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle (plus planned switch to Tesla)

    Ah, I see. A while ago, someone said it was $50k to replace the stack. To my knowledge, the way it works is Honda or special dealer rep calls up people when the stack is ready to replace. Drop the car, get it back in 1-2 weeks. I never heard of a situation like yours before, that the car is...
