[Zero CO2]

Many camp sites, restaurants parks and parking lots have power that have allowed us to do dozens of mountain trips.

I understand ... I also could have hiked the Appalachian trail to get to Roan Mountain and avoid the car and charging altogether .... low speed charging still wastes too much valuable hiking time ... but i get your point ... it is possible ... just not very convenient ... the trip becomes about charging the car not the real purpose .... i value my time hiking , rafting, kayaking, and drinking beer over low speed charging .... and i dont select accommodations based on charging ... we will eventually get there as high speed chargers become more abundant ... for me we are not there yet

Usually the campgrounds are near the hiking trails, etc. so charging the car is an overnight item and takes no more of your time than it does at home.

FU NABU.

That should be Elon's personalized Plaid late in Germany.

That won't be possible

Starting-Letters is where the car is registered: Kennzeichen King
Then you can choose 2-3 letters & then 1-4 numbers. And an E at the end if you drive electric. And 10-11 characters in total.

Possible when registered in Grünheide: LOS, BSK, EH, FW.

So "FW TSL 6942" is one possibility?

nope.. they seem to have even more restrictive rules: Kennzeichen King
you can try out there. Select "Elektro" from the dropdown first.. and then .. well.. lets say the possibilities are "limited" ...

You could reserve FW EM 69 E

Whoops, put this in the wrong thread:

This cracked me up. The cops couldn't catch him but he ran out of gas. Highspeed sucks gas.
Wonder how a Tesla Plaid would have done except it might be difficult to steal and his location would be easy to track.

If only the gas tank was bigger, this Hellcat could have pulled off one of the most successful getaways.

A bit of morning levity. Gordon appeared on CNBC yesterday. For some reason he has a framed picture of a cat or fox wearing a suit. That's weird right?

Robots for firefighting? nuclear cleanup? Mars colonization?

A day after Teslabots start rolling off the assembly their will be a startup getting a billion dollars in funding for sexbot conversions.

That is what humans do. The internet will be the greatest tool to bring education to every human on Earth? It delivered porn to Afghanistan, Madagascar and every corner of the globe.

I remeber reading about the early days of video recording..
It was between 2 systems, VHS and Beta/
Beta was superior. But Porn was shot and available in VHS.
Beta lost

What?

Beta lost because VHS had a longer recording time. Beta offered better picture quality but early examples only had a 1 hour recording time. VHS offered, depending on bad you were allowing the quality to get, up to 4 hours of recording time. This made it possible to not only record movies at home, but also purchase home video releases of movies on VHS. Most importantly, VHS was also cheaper.

Professional applications always used Beta for the picture quality, but home applications would soon be dominated by VHS.

Plus, it was named beta...only cutting edge folks want anything to do with a beta project.
