I had needed a new car and we needed AWD (living in Minnesota now). I finally am getting my house in the Seattle area sold off so we could finally afford the upfront costs. If not for that, it would have been a serious stretch initially. The only option we took was the blue paint because the...

After following Tesla faithfully since 2008, I finally was able to afford one. Took delivery at end of November. Dual motor. Wore my vintage Roaster T for the occasion.

Delivery day.

This was a stupid, self inflicted wound by Elon, there was no reason to send that tweet.

Electrons don't move in or out of the battery, they move from the cathode to the anode within the battery.

I think the old wire frame one is the best. I still have it but it is showing its age so I hardly wear it anymore, just to Tesla events.

How to justify new Roadster? Midlife crisis? Need to be faster than your friend's Lamborghini? Your collection of Tesla products won't be complete without it? Can't pickup girls at your Ivy League College without one? Always got to have the latest super car? There are really many fine reasons...

OMG, they should bloody well put sensors in the steering wheel. Stupid autopilot. I also have a feeling that you'd permanently put me on Chill Mode...

Tesla as an energy company in the future grid?

How many Rolos in rolosrevenge's Rolos revenge?

The person who tweeted at Elon is an ignorant fool. Elon should have schooled him in how the national power grid mix actually works. Disconnecting the superchargers from the grid is a very, very, stupid idea, as it will only results in raising costs to Tesla. Some solar and batteries to manage...

Lol. It looks like he just merged a Model S with a Karma. So much for an "award winning designer"

This article describes what many of us thought from the first reveal. Faraday Future, once seen as a 'Tesla-killer,' is said to be in shambles as cash runs low and executives flee

Rolo

If he had a written price quote, it seems very, very odd that they wouldn't honor it the next day. Especially if he had to liquidate assets to meet that quote, I think he'd have a fair shot in court. This is one of those times that Tesla needs to give him the promised price and then fire whoever...

Let's see if they can ship on time and on price and if they have a good charging network. I've seen enough of these reveals to save my excitement until someone can actually buy the product, which is seldom.

So its reached the point of no return? How meta

A person could say that they wanted Hillary to lose because the idea of the former First Lady going on to become president is extremely shady by all standards. So much so that it's only happened 4 times before, in Panama, Argentina (twice), and Bangladesh. Not really the sort of countries people...

Blue Orgins has yet to have a single commercial flight, just tests. It's a little premature to show off the huge rocket they'll totally build later.

So are these still on the road?

Guys, can everyone, please, please, PLEASE use the proper abbreviation for units. kilowatt-hour is abbreviated kWh. These are standard, SI units. KWH is wrong. KwH is unbelievably wrong. kWh. That is the unit. There is no other abbreviation.

Unless it's another car speeding into the front of your car. You aren't just hitting stationary objects.

Okay, I'm going to get that keg working and have a big root beer kegger for the two of you.

YOU HAVE MY SANDALS!!!!! That's the best news since being your +1 to the gigafactory! Much root beer awaits you when you bring them down.

Ah pictures of my sandals. I miss those sandals. I think I left them there, but Bonnie hasn't seen them. Where did you go my sandals?

Party was great, did I leave my little blue cooler of Rolos there? I know I left my bottles of Sarsaparilla.

Yup, we showed up around 11:20.

So two types of ginger beer syrup acquired, compliments of Portland Soda Works. Enough to make about 3 gallons.

I'll be at all three with a bag of Rolos!

Not interested at all.

I don't really think it's that necessary. I actually like the slightly longer, enjoy your stay charging times.

Feel free to assign me as a moderator for anything grid related (energy storage, solar integration, V2G, etc.)

It's root beer, which is by definition non-alcoholic, hard root beer is an abomination if you ask me... But you can mix whatever you want with the sodas.

Actually, interestingly, I'm going to stop by at Portland Soda Works on the way down to review their root beer, and the owner said he'd send me down with some additional flavor syrups for my trip, one of which seems to be ginger. So Ginger Beer maybe as well. I'll bring two dispensers, one for...

I am The Root Beer Gourmet, I don't know much about ginger beer.

Okay, I'll bring my own dispenser and enough ingredients for about 5 gallons of brew.

Bonnie, I am thinking of bringing some of my amazing homemade root beer instead of crawfish traps, do you have a 1.5 gallon or bigger beverage dispenser (preferably glass) or should I bring my own?

Do you still need speakers or panelists?

We should put a wind turbine on the front of the car and a propeller on the back of the car and we can go forever.

Yay! There are several nice ones in Ohio that I need, I think...

This should explain it.

You took down the lights I painstakingly and dangerously strung?

All right, I'll amend my statement to: Worst. Idea. (that doesn't attempt to violate the laws of thermodynamics) Ever.

But what about a few Rolos?

You need no permission to post pics of my beautiful bod...

Worst. Idea. Ever.

Um, why not just use trains and only use trucks for the last 50 miles?

That's because it's called V2G, not V2grid, and also there's tons of references to it. I got my PhD in V2G and have explained in many places on the forum about it, I even spoke about it at Teslive and TMC Connect. Bidirectional flow isn't going to happen and the responses have summed it up well...

I agree, but I'm just thinking about it in terms of desirability.

So my main comment on the title of this thread is that oil and nuclear are very different energy sources in what they serve. Oil is primarily transport fuel and nuclear is primarily grid. I would like to see nuclear only go under only after natural gas has since it's a carbon neutral source and...
