Transport Evolved

Not sure about the comment regarding 3 phase to get 240 volt. Almost all homes and businesses have 240V available.

Perhaps it's because businesses get 3-phase but homes don't?

Yes, that is basically the reason in the US.

Occasionally you do find a smaller business with 240V, but 208V from 3-phase seems more common at industrial locations.

Hi, guys

Hi, guys

You mean other than that the Roadster uses a 3 phase AC induction motor?

With respect, any chance we can get this discussion moved to another thread?

Edit: MPT: Collected up the discussion on 3-wheel tech and moved here: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/4772-3-wheeled-transport-evolved

The EV1 may have been this one: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/gm-ev-1-resurrected-hybrid-12468.html
Show suggestions, critique of the Nissan cartoon was not informative or necessary, the program is long enough, and being distracted by Sarah Palin news during the show is, well, distracting, to both the viewer and your guest.

in europe/germany any home has 3 phases

I have to say that I have largely stopped listening to/watching Transport Evolved. Why? Because the feed via iTunes is always corrupted in my experience. Typically 5-20 minutes into the show it jumps back and starts again at the beginning. This can happen up to a half dozen times (requiring fast forwarding over tens of minutes of material each time it does). This gets wearing. Listening in the car it gets potentially dangerous.

With the video feed via iTunes (rarely used by me) I see the video and audio get stuck at some frame and then never restart.

I have reported all of this to Nikki via [email protected], but never got an acknowledgement or saw any improvement.

I thought mentioning it here might raise the priority. I really appreciate the hard work Nikki puts into originating content. It's a real shame to see the hard work spoiled by some glitch, bug, or fault whether in the production process or on iTunes.

Thanks Michael that would be great.
