Separate names with a comma.
Lloyd, I'm afraid I need you to qualify that more. The first PDF doesn't specify anything about the percentage of road work that is funded by gas...
Gas taxes are extremely low historically and don't even make up for the upstream subsidies given to the oil industry. In California, gas taxes...
Indeed - though I don't know of any that have GLONASS yet. But there are differences among the devices in terms of how well they keep a lock. A...
I'd much rather have chademo through an adapter, as the standard signals on the CANbus, and knowing an adapter is in there providing a firewall...
I practice what I call asymmetric hypermiling. Using the friction brakes is a last resort, but I'll use the go pedal all the way, every day, any...
Neroden, please follow up when you get the car, I want to know.
Given how biased most media is against change, and especially the change that EVs represent, take it as a win and move on. The number of times...
If you oversize the wiring in the extension cord the voltage drop is minimal. With 10-30, the key is to know if the source is really two-phase or...
Coming back after a few months off (because my previous habits weren't going to scale with the influx of Model S folks), the new landing page is...
Range anxiety is an affliction of the gas-powered neophytes who haven't owned a 'real' EV for at least a week or two. The problem of the charge...
Wow, I saw Forbes, and.. well, I assume we all thought the same thing. Nicely done. Nice bit about the SF-south commute (I got to work this...
People still have twitter accounts? What year is this again? ;-)
Wow, people still use wax on their cars? Is there a summary page of this somewhere? I think would be ideal to add to the wiki somewhere. I've...
That's clearly not TOU, and, what, Tier 5? I bet there are some easy negawatt pickings there. Yes, without going solar or TOU, an EV might not...
I've avoided speaking up because, well, I do know ASCII is a super sucky low bandwidth information transfer, and I like to assume best intentions....
I passed by a red S last Saturday on Altamont as I was descending on my other carbon fiber beauty. Sig red - gave it a big thumbs up.
Glad you like it! Glad I didn't suffer through learning JavaScript for nothing ;-).
Sounds fun!
In practice, you don't need to. Go pedal response is so low latency that finding the zero point is easy. And once you get used to <mostly>...
For the Roadster, we had the option of signing a waiver if we didn't want things drilled (I sure didn't, and yes CA is a front-required state)....
Y'all are trusting your cameras and browsers waaay too much. Without gray cards in each photo and a color managed path to your screen, everything...
Hmm, I don't know whether it's Toyota being anti-EV (though certainly there is at least some EV antibodies left within the company) or just that...
So, what we need is a LEED scorecard for cars? Google recently retrofitted one of it's buildings. The people responsible were determined to...
Sweet, dude! Welcome to the club!
What I want, what I really, really want, is the use of a combination of protocols (HID+VDP+A2DP, for example) to just provide a remote interface...
Tesla seems to be following software best practices, and in that case, it's a reasonable bet there's proper MVC separation for the volume control,...
Ok, seems a reasonable pace to put this. Chrome has gotten better at opening a ton of tabs at once (I'm on dev channel, M22, but current betas...
So, wait, what? Have I been doing it wrong in my Roadster this entire time?!? (Ok, 0-35/45mph sprints more than 0-60, but certainly at every...
Interesting. I've got the JVC unit. I never use the nav (nav without a capacitive touchscreen is just an exercise in frustration, and my Galaxy...
I'm no longer sure we're past peak oil. With fracking, and with the way our government subsidizes oil and the environmental destruction new...
Photoshop. No intercap. I think it's a long-standing MS dig (they've never corrected it in their spelling dictionaries, in spite of numerous filed...
<OffTopic> Do they have stats that exclude China? But yeah, I know the stats. Makes me weep. </OffTopic>
I think the big three are locked into ossified middle management think. They have so many problems, fighting lame per-state dealer laws isn't even...
Likes of looks are subjective (well, everything is, really...), and we've covered the Karma's polarizing looks many times. I'm on the 'can't stand...
+100. 0-60 runs without worry are a hell of a lot more fun.
<OffTopic> People are still running XP on laptops? o_O?!? Are you kidding me? Talk about a portable virus magnet, an instant member of a botnet, a...
So, being out here where I have a better chance to see MSen in the wild, I really hope Tesla doesn't ditch the handles, for their own sake. We've...
Actually, (this) one cannot. If a manufacturer has both dealer franchised (presumably relying on them as a distribution channels) and owned...
When it's your car (brand), it's the stations' fault. When it's not, it's the car. ;-)
This. It's how the Roadster estimated range works, and is about as good an algorithm as any.
Google Now is the name of the voice-oriented search and response (it does other things as well, like predictively bring up estimated commute...
So, so superior... They 'microgrind' the freeways around here as they fix them up - an EV on a microground highway surface is just sublime......
Hydrogen filling isn't as fast as gas, even at high pressure. Worse, there isn't a hydrogen station yet that can handle a reasonable number of...
The 911 has very nice driving bits - engine, clutch, steering. I could see calling them works of art - certainly they're one of the best examples...
Green when charging? That seems backwards. No plug sharing here in California. If you get somewhere and they're all used, find someone...
Option 3: don't tell them you have an EV. Charge at night (at slightly higher rates, but still far lower cost-per-mile than an ICE) but make it up...
I completely agree with David. Does the car get better (possibly ignoring range :-( ) if you strip out the ICE and add batteries? The Volt is a...
This. The 911 was sweet when I had it, but looking back now, I don't miss it. I've come to associate the noise that I once thought as wonderful as...
I keep my ChargePoint card in my wallet; I just tap my wallet against the station. Someday I hope they start using NFC for that.
Agree. A manual transmission - in an ICE or an EV - is just covering up design weaknesses. The design weaknesses are inherent in an ICE, what's...
