Ethernet port option would solve all this.

At least you had option of fast exit!

I was asking for suggestions, like asking someone at Tesla to make more products eligible for RC. Not a post about something obvious.

I have a number of friends who are curious to serious about Tesla products. At the moment I do not have one due to financial limits (looking at 3Q2024 possible) I am wondering if there is ways to get the Referral Code, even temporarily, and pass it around that day. Maybe a Demo Drive will give...

Ever rode in a DC-3? OTOH, what about the slab sided B-24? Happen to know what altitude the Sherpa flight was at?

It will be the one that offers the lowest operating cost, shape is meaningless. Probably will see the Short Sherpa return in electric version for short haul flights. This design is perfect for a conversion.

Sorry to prove you wrong. CBY-3 There was also an experimental cargo glider version, the XCG-16

Ever consider why passenger aircraft are a tube is because it is the best design for a pressure vessel? There are plenty of non circular fuselage designs that worked just fine. @Earl showed great examples. Another great example it is for pressure the fuselage is round. Boeing 377...

That is a concern, but ways to reduce that could be possible. At least for cargo work this is viable and a step to profitable BEP

Another mostly composite aircraft was built before Starship, and failed to go into production, the Lear Fan. The major issue I read was FAA wanted much more data on the new composite design than expected (there are piles of tested parts at the old factory in Reno, NV. Raytheon encountered...

My take: The biggest issue with an BEP is internal volume for the large amount of batteries it will need. Current tube planes create challenges to make this work. I propose a flying wing easily has the internal volume, performance, strength, and plenty of real world data to verify. Fact: you...

Bad design, not commercially viable. My counters to each point 1. While you can put some batteries in the wings, it will be impossible to put enough in there. Alternatively is a wing design to have big hatches for a larger area to put batteries in, which makes the wing heavier and reduces...

ALBEDO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo Did not know the word for this measurement. Albedo is Latin for "whiteness" (no surprise it is related to word Albino).

That image which is a dumbed down mass produced in many iterated versions fails in messaging, and is easy to prove wrong: If the energy going down to earth is same as reflected back, then the CO2 in atmosphere would actually stop the energy getting to earth surface to begin with, resulting in...

I am simply pointing out that ICE is not immune from very low temp impact. And icy weather will magnify issues on cars with poor power management (including drain from security and keyless entry systems). FYI: as lead-acid battery drains some of the acid is converted into water, reducing the...

ICE: Lead acid batteries can freeze/die in extreme cold if not 100% charged or are old. Oil is thick, slowing the starter motor, could prevent start. Fuel will not evaporate as easily, rough operation (mainly a carburetor engine issue) Ice building up in throttle body choking the engine when...

North TX? I am in Houston Metro, over 24 hours freezing (despite the grossly incorrect predictions), today generating huge amount of juice from my PV.

That is false, politics have LITTLE to do with building those items, it is mainly NIMBY and economics. And even Hydro is not safe as a base power given how extreme weather can impacts those. The best solution is a good mix of sources with storage. Heck, even a water heater as a Thermal battery...

So the Tax POS credit is designed for dealerships to pass credit to customer. Will this "Dealership method" work with other incentive programs? Texas has one, but it too requires a dealership.

Possible the Model 3 Highland eligible for $7500 purchase tax rebate in future? I see only 2 versions, no $7500 except for Lease (not willing to do that) May there be a 3ed version? Any idea why it lost the eligibility? Guessing its battery material source. Thanks

Again you are in error, and describe it erroneously as well. This is the facts: Both are Radio in every sense of the word, this an absolute term with zero distinction on types. Radio is using the electromagnet spectrum as the transport media. There is subsets of Analog Radio which has...

Negative. It is one of many reasons why WiFi is not appropriate for a fixed device.

Not where you live as you said, but some parts of country it will pay off within 10 years. CA and TX a very good bets.

Negative, it is not the same. Anyone in IT knows. Latency The time between data entering a device and leaving it. For example, a switch may add 5ms of latency Delay The one-way time it takes for traffic to leave the sender and arrive at the destination So the time it takes for packet from...

But if you have PV on roof, storage in garage becomes very practical.

Mounting a wifi router right next to a EVSE only strengths the need to get rid of the wifi. Apparent it is not obvious, the packet level I am talking about is encapsulating the Ethernet packets into Wifi packets that include CRC / checksum data, which is then transmitted. Wifi does not need to...

Looked, does not. Was user addition. https://openev.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/6000054116

As I posted, there are times when Wireless is justified (mobile or semi-mobile equipment of course, or extremely hard to mount items), but for fixed devices it is far better to be wired.

You misunderstood, If other systems were slow or stopped working (eg: fuel dispensing, or even a minute of power grid failure), people would complain, very few like you would troubleshoot and fix it if possible. Also this is not about latency but delays. As Kyle from Out Of Spec keeps saying...

For profit speculative market causing price increases, with guaranteed government bailout in case of collapse. Who would have thunk nothing bad would happen. This is probably much more volatile than Bitcoin.

Crikey! More ammo to anti-Nuke crowd.

New car sales in US. Seeing the latest pull back by most car mfg in US, I will up it to end of 2028. It seems the Legacy companies finally realized it was much harder than expected, putting on brakes to ramp up.

There is long list of reasons NOT to go wireless. Lets put it this way: If you went to a EV station or gas station and it was not working you would complained. If you app froze or crashed you would be pissed. But if your wireless was slow or went offline for a few minuets you would be like "no...

Found one, and only one. https://autelenergy.us/pages/contact-us Did not even think of looking at this excellent and informative person until later. https://evchargingstations.com/chargerreviews/autel-maxicharger/

Incorrect, fuel powered generator will cost more fairly quickly, and have several more downsides. Being a machine it will require regular operation to keep parts moving, annual oil changes, new filters, and cleaning. Plus is noisy, exposed to elements (yes, generators can freeze), release CO2...

What BYD graveyard story ?

Spent all that effort to get it up there, keep it up there. Possible to use in new station as storage modules, remove the old items and use as hull, could be sealed most of time for safety.

Is there a list of EV chargers that have Ethernet connection included? Ethernet is infinitely more reliable than Wireless, the effort to run a wire is often cheaper and defiantly saves money in long run. The challenge is finding chargers that have Ethernet, as the vender typically focus on the...

It is expected some will always say bad things about opponents to "their team" (as can be seen with the resents wars to a despicable level) Remove the names and product info and show an investor the numbers, all will say this is an excellent investment.

That is a bullcrap prediction. I bet it does not even factor the used BEV market. My prediction is about 2027 sales of BEV will = ICE. California is already at 25% of new car sales.

Easy to find other reports to back what he videos. He might embellish, but its not fake. Besides, we have over 100 years of history on how dictatorships function, and they all exhibit the same paranoia and policing mentality.

I was thinking only a NACS, maybe CCS1 if there is extra capacity. Most customers will likely be there for an hour. I did suggest the port could be shut off at night. (They also have a remote middle-of-nowhere location, suggested locating a 110v outside with timer, for the rare chance of some...

Eanes ISD board approves creation of police department and Tesla fleet purchase in unanimous vote As one might expect with anything new: Mainly was ignorance of the costs, all the complainants thinking the MY would cost more. The board pointed out quite easily it will be significantly less...

The far right hate BEV's. BEV's are seen as the weapon of a "liberal" agenda, forced to buy something far more expensive than typical ICE (that's recently changing), with very short range (not true), made in China (except for small amount of batteries, false), Union-busting (nope), and spying on...

Humm. I was looking at this a couple of days ago... did I jinx it? :eek: Where you live, @RockGuitarist1 ? Not all of Texas is in this VPP project (yet) For everyone who wonders: Texas Gov PDF document here...

Here we go! This was in email with a buddy. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/texas-bitcoin-riot-ercot-grid-energy-18352398.php Texas Pays Riot Platforms $31.7M To Limit Bitcoin Mining Operations During Heat Wave - Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) ERCOT policy Demand Response...

Yes, RIOT. I posted somewhere about this, ...here?

Peron on bike: Greg Abbot

Don't know those acronyms. "isn't a substitute for capacity" means not available on demand what you mean?

Thanks for the info! I wonder, IIRC there is a limited selection of non-Tesla's able to charge on SC now? Would that be enough?
