Raffy, unfortunately people have been using the term law in relation to free speech. Here in the US it isn't law, per say, it's the constitution. Which requires a whole new level of effort to change. And one I wouldn't support.

So that's my problem... I don't have a 2nd EV (or 2nd car at all)! I have had my EV for almost 2 years -- and find the discussion about the time to fill at a gas station vs time spent pluging in WAY overblown. In the big scheme of time spent, the difference doesn't make much of any...

Hey Gang, I am getting the same error as the OP and wanted suggestions on how to proceed. I just changed my wheels/tires to 20s from previous 21s. I got new TPMS with my wheels and had the whole setup installed at a local shop. The reset option list 19 or 21 -- so not sure I should be using...

dhrivnak, Here's some things to consider about site polls: You have 203 people voting, which gives us a 7.1% confidence level (not bad) based on this table ( http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Soc_participants.shtml ) However, I don't see how this poll has a...

I have to say, the acertion that the only people who deny or argue against climate change is totally off base (noting that assumption is prevalent amongst comments made in this thread). The conservative base is made up of a strong Christian contengent. And most of that contengent doesn't...

I Just had installed (like just today) 245/40R20 on front and 275/35R20 on back -- and have noted rubbing on my driver side front tire when backing up and to the left. Noticed it pulling out of a parking spot, but not out of my driveway. When I do hear it, it's pretty noticeable... So, I will...

I totally understand why the OP is upset... His custom car is a "project" and a successful project is "on time, on spec, on budget". I work in the government, so REALLY don't have room to talk... But at the moment, Tesla does a poor job on 2 of them and is questionable on the third (exceeding...

Chipper -- agree with you 1000%, well said.

Well... Now, don't take this as a complaint - but am I the only owner who thinks the car does take a long time to charge (of course it's not forever)? Sure, like everyone else here - it doesn't matter 95% of the time. And I haven't had to stop by a gas station for gas in almost a year. But...

Robert.Boston I don't think you analogy works... In the case of tobacco companies, thier actions led to monterary loss by the government(s) (both federal and state) due to payment of health care cost. No such loss has yet been paid for damage to the environment and thus how would you even be...

I had the 12V battery warning on Saturday... Tesla was out on Sunday to do the replacement :smile:. Unfortunately, we noted some cabin heating problems and plug acting flacky (car wouldn't lock the plug when it was inserted). So they are coming to pick it up Friday - 3rd time my car will be...
