On my trip to Pennsylvania last week I saw a Tesla S and a Fisker Karma. Surprising really since the only other high end card I saw the whole trip was a Maserati GranTurismo. I love the looks of the Tesla but the Fisker looks someone stepped on a BMW then hit it with the ugly stick.

In Massachusetts if you've sold your car you can put the plates from it on your new car and drive it for 7 days as long as you have a copy of the bill of sale in the car. If you haven't sold your car, you have to take the title from the new car to the RMV in order to register it. This means when I bought my car in Rhode Island I had to convince the seller to mail me his title so I could take it to the RMV and register the car before I went down to RI on the train with the new plates to pick the car up. I can only imagine what a headache it would have been if I had to buy the car out of state. Massachusetts also doesn't issue temporary plates, or honor other states' temporary plates.

I'm hoping to buy a house next year so it's just not worth the hassle right now. Rigging up 220 would make my life a dream, though. Clearly you need one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/40-000-Watt-DIESEL-GENERATOR-SET-COMPLETE-/271294267230?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 IOwnCalculus posted:Lucky. My company gave 'permission' but due to the paranoia over tripping over cables / the logistics and tax credits around installing actual EV charge infrastructure and parking spots, they gave a token / impossibly small budget to complete the task. If I had an electric car I could charge it at work on 440  However, I cannot afford an electric car that I'd actually want (Tesla). As for that Cadillac, how could GM really believe that someone would pay Tesla prices for something with less performance and 1/10th the range?! This seems insane to me.

The problem I see with these camera systems is, what happens in a downpour or when the camera gets snow on it? Do they give the camera it's own wiper then program it to ignore the brief view interruptions?

Boten Anna posted:There's no way in gently caress-hell that solar panels that reportedly are a net generator can produce enough electricity live as all charging stations are in a full kick; I don't even think they could pull that much from the grid without issues. There has to be some kind of energy storage mechanism; Li-ions are almost certainly what they're using. I agree that it's unlikely the solar panels are generating enough to run all of the chargers at once, but the grid can certainly handle it. 340v @ 60 amps is not that huge of a draw when you compare to industrial users. The only type of user I've ever heard of needing to actually arrange with the utility before they fire up is an electric arc furnace, but that's easily pulling over 200 MW.

I like the idea of outfitting a model s with a dynamic braking grid on the roof. Throw away all that regenerative braking power as heat, that'll piss the environmentalists off! Run a huge rear end fuckoff loud fan to cool it too, just like the locomotives.

I really don't understand how driving a 500 hp car is more fun in bumper to bumper then my prius. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2007/01/guy-can-get-59-mpg-plain-old-accord-beat-punk I feel like this guy would agree with you.
