So today Ian and I met up. He let me drive his Roadster and it was a nice long drive. A while ago (over a year, maybe a little longer) I posted about having a quick drive in MPTs Roadster. That was fun and I really enjoyed it, but having this long drive where I could really accelerate and get...

Just noticed today that there are some compatibility issues with IE9. When put in to compatibility mode the reply with quote function does not work properly. Also, when clicking search forum within a sub froum (in my case I tried doing it in the Off Topic --> Site Feedback forum) the box does...

For those who get Wealth TV (669 HD, 169 SD on FiOS), on May 21 (this Saturday) at 9:00 PM, the episode of Wealth On Wheels is about the Tesla Roadster. I believe it is the whole episode, but I've never watched the show so not 100%. -Shark2k

Hey guys, got a question I'm hoping you can answer. So brief story about why this came up. My mom's electric hand mixer made a weird noise and had plastic something rattling inside. She decided to get she'll get another one since this one was like 25 years old so I decided to take it apart...

http://www.northjersey.com/news/102869919_Montclair_wins__25K_for_electric_car_stations.html I got that link from here: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/09/montclair_to_charge_electric_c.html where people commented. I think somebody needs to comment and explain why a couple of the...

So I did a search before posting this and a few threads came up mentioning power steering but it was never really mentioned. So, I was wondering if you guys think the Model S will have power steering? Talking with people in the Mini E program, they Mini E does have power steering. During my...

I'm not sure if this would be better in a different section, if it is a mod can feel free to move it. I was wondering for people whole have had the Roadster for over a year how much did your electricity usage increase? Simple question I think and am just asking out of curiousity. Thanks in...

So thanks to MPT, I got to drive a Roadster :biggrin:. Let me tell you, everyone that mentioned the EV Grin (or the other various names it has) are dead on. That grin is still creeping up when I think back about it. And the accerlation is great. It reminds me of a jet engine with the whine...

Ok, so I'm not an engineer or scientisty guy or anybody like that that would understand the relationship between voltage and amperage so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I've googled this for about an hour or so but couldn't come up with anything that answered my question simply or with a...

Not sure if this should go here so a Mod can move it to a more appropriate location if they feel it is necessary. Watching tonights episode of Knight Rider (01/28/09) the bad guys used an electric motorcycle to escape from one section. Of course they went to an ICE car afterwards, but it was...

I have my laptop set to power save mode (it's a dual core CPU) and I find playback is not necessarily smooth also. So I agree, do what doug said and let it fully load, but if the playback isn't smooth still, it could be your computer. When I put my computer on to "suck up electricity" mode and...

PV Solar installations Touché. Makes perfect sense. I was actually thinking about it more in just the quickness of filling up though. I agree with everything you said though. It will be nice to be able to produce your own "fuel" though. We are getting solar panels (actually, my parents...

Saw this on Tesla's home page: Detroit: Tesla Motors Does *Not* Need Government Funding To Survive, CEO Declares TechPulse 360 Seems interesting that the $40 million is enough, to get the company to profitability. -Shark2k
