i took the lazy way, got rid of grass all together :D, i figure the amount of water i saved not watering a lawn allows me to wash things here and there while keeping me under the average water usage. i have a 15A 18" wide snowjoe, and its been working okay as far as power goes, the durability...

Its been a long time coming but today 2019-05-09 is the day gasoline has been vanquished from my life. I sold the last gas burning device, a Karcher 5HP Honda Pressure Washer, loud AF, annoying, laggy, smelly, ridiculous all round, but cleans well (3000psi / 2.5 gpm / 7500 cu). Replaced it...

yeah the Chinook store was temporary until they got a more permanent location, fairmount took a long time to finish signing papers and whatnot.

i know this post is too late but........ summer only = Michelin pilot super sport if you can find them for cheap OR Michelin pilot sport 4 (new model but expensive) All seasons = Continental Extreme Contact DWS (2nd highest rated tire on tire rack) or Pirelli Cinturato P7 (highest rated tire on...

Wow im glad this thread helped so many people, i still have my car and its coming up to 4 years, ive never had an issue with the glove box in all that time. I open and close it quite often as i store my J1772 adapter in there. i guess if you close it using "normal" speed and force it shouldn't...

21" Super sport tires at Costco until Nov, the price is actually quite good all things considering. too bad i wont need them until 2018.

yeah we pay 5% tax instead of 13-14%

what ever potato wrote that article doesnt seem to understand that the tesla is not at all motor constrained, tesla even said the rear motor can handle 500kW with no problems, its the battery and inverter that cant keep up. BTW 500kW is 670HP, the rear motor can rev past 16,000 RPM if properly...

I put all my money on ultra capacitors for what the future decides on the best type of energy storage.

Another thing to add, Soylent is by far the most efficient food period. Nothing comes anywhere close, Its also one of the cheapest. 10 minutes today per day to prep, eat and cleanup 1) dump a pouch into my blentec along with 1.5L of water 2) after mixing pour 1.5L into a nalgene bottle 3)...

Ive been on soylent 95% since July 2015, ive never been in better physical condition than now. after i got laid off in sept all i do is sit infront of a computer all day trading stocks and after the market closes i have to research companies and financials. I should be a fat blob but im not, im...

damn there is a lot of people editing that spreadsheet, ill forward it to the local EV group.

Its about time... should of had this done last year. Oh well better late than never. 23 panels, 5.87 kW total, in the 5 minutes it was running for testing i made 289 Wh (enough to drive 2km), only 1/4 of the DC optimizers checked it so it wasnt fully booted up yet. I cant "turn it on" until...

they said for my setup and the amount of shading that panels + DC optimizer (per panel) + inverter was the best/most effective solution. my house is not optimal for solar due to the roof angles, im almost tempted to move and build a house specifically for solar. have a single 40° tilt curved...

anything under 1MW is okay for residential, and no house to my knowledge is large enough for 1MW of generation, even at theoretical maximum harvest you cant make that much power off solar. the limit of solar is 1.36kW per M² (or the amount of power a regular 120v outlet provides). Enmax says...

its a 5.4kW inverter for my new solar array (still being installed at the moment) since i live alone with a monthly usage of around 450-500kWh per month, my ~6kW array should effectively zero that energy usage.

The Long Tail Pipe Argument............ Mines reaaaaaaaaaaally long Approx 150 Gigameters long. Starting at the car, to the outlet in the garage, up and around and down to the basement, then up to the roof of the house and all the way to the sun.

2010 Genesis Coupe V6 Prem - $34,600 2013 Tesla Model S Performance 85 - $121,663

i shamelessly copied him (or her)... but to my defense, Alberta is the Texas of Canada, someone had to do it,

this was my car being delivered, it was also the first time ive ever seen a Model S

not sure why i forgot this, the picture is aligned perfectly with N and S, my house is at a strange angle to the NW. as you can see, the majority of the system is not even facing south, its facing WSW.

Enmax doesnt like that, your system must shutdown within 2 seconds of failing grid power, or you go off grid.

price below, no storage YET, one thing at a time, im a jobless bum right now, cant afford batteries. Although i do have a giant 85kWh battery in my garage, should look into hooking that up somehow :D (could you imagine if tesla allowed battery to grid through the car like nissan, i would be...

only reason it would exist is if it were significantly cheaper than the Model S like $65K CDN

im not going to bother waiting on this government, i just ordered a 5.8kW array from Skyfire, its possible to have up to 10kW on my roof so maybe later when i get a job again ill get more panels. enmax will install a bi-meter for free, any power you export they will credit you at the same rate...

the kangaroo pocket wouldnt be bad, he would have to fabricate a mount for the holster as its wobbly, the pocket is obviously not designed to handle that weight. The handgun is not in my way, this is a 4.5" barrel BTW, if he had something smaller like an M&P shield 9 or glock 26 (even a 19...

Springfield Armory XD? unfortunately the column holster is not recommended for a tesla because of the airbags, for the Tesla, anywhere there is an airbag, do not holster your gun there, that includes the sides of your seat, anywhere near the curtain airbag and by your knees. best place is...

since i missed the meetup, ill for sure show up for a delivery.

Just drive how the hand book tells you to, ive noticed when others are driving they are ALWAYS flooring the car and not even noticing it or going fast and slow, fast and slow. When you accelerate, set off how the driving instructor tells you too (like in a corolla), just smooth, not slow not...

i was going through some old photos and this one came up, forgot i had taken it. 33km on delivery!

nope, ipchicken indicates sometimes im going through AT&T (the Cell connection) or that im going through my home internet's gateway (Shaw cable canada)and when i connect using my cell phones wifi hotspot i get Telus mobility (which is correct) try it out and see, this is what i have observed...

you forgot a bullet for the poll... i dont care what it costs as long as its HIGH SPEED (LTE Connectivity) if the only way i can get high speed connectivity is through a WIFI hotspot to LTE then ill use my own phone for that.

yeah it really depends on the voltage the plug provides, i get 6km/hr instead of 5km/hr on 12A, There is a really good plug near home depot (right beside the transformer) that allows me to draw 16A and i still get 119V

in the headlight assembly there is a lot of chrome that doesn't do anything really and its safe to paint black, i did it to the very first car ive own, and the next several cars already had blacked out lights from the factory. - - - Updated - - - here is another example off the internet

wow thats going to be a big jump in power, you have 500% hp 300% more torque in the p85d

Coffee, its a hell of an addiction....

No Hyundai as option? the Gen Coupe was replaced by the Tesla

about 1.2 Hours for 3 wheels (1 was not mine), he was doing them in parallel so i guess 4 wheels shouldnt take more than 2. its best if you have the wheels off your car, cleaned as best you can, remove center cap, remove valve cap.

Car runs over metal bumper, rupturing gas tank and causing deadly fire - YouTube Tesla doesn't look so bad now does it? the last guy that hit a tow hitch even recovered his papers from the glovebox.

looks awesome! Price was $100 per wheel tax in (this was a home visit so this is very reasonable IMO since they have to haul that trailer and all the tire equipment around) Wheel Repair - Album on Imgur

technically nothing, but illegally they can find out where you live if they have access to the registry, but illegally you can get any info you want,

Another Meetup! this time in Red Deer (superchargers then R&R Grill)

on the way back i got some crazy numbers for efficiency (Canmore supercharger to inside of my garage)

I too will aim for this time,

i will also try and be there, what time do you guys want to meet?

thanks for these 2 documents, im reading over it

i would hope the Model S gets it soon, even a base model corolla has LED headlights (yes a BASE MODEL!) my neighbor just got a corolla to boot around in to get rid of the dying X5 he had, there are quite a few things included as base that even high end cars do not have.
