How about formatting the HD to Fat32? -Shark2k

Hey guys, Just want to let you know I took the Focus EV for a quick test drive today. Didn't really look much at the interior, but focused more on the experience and what not. So, the acceleration was alright, I would say better than my 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 (manual). It felt like the front...

I am sure the mods would prefer this to be discussed in another thread. -Shark2k

Should we start an ElSupreme confession thread :biggrin: lol -Shark2k

Sweet. I would much prefer driving there than driving into the city. Thanks for the info! -Shark2k

Cinergi responded there were no chargers in the spots and he didn't park where chargers were because he didn't want to take them up for a week. -Shark2k

Any more of these little stories? They are interesting. -Shark2k

Get new buttons while still under warranty and then cover the new buttons. Unless of course your current buttons look fine. -Shark2k

I don't know, maybe not. More like they are jumping on the idea, moreso than you I guess. Just doesn't seem like people having open minds to me. :shrug: -Shark2k

Really you (and everyone else that isn't a fan of this idea) are making a big deal out of nothing. Doug_G only suggested it, so it wasn't even from Tesla. Secondly, Doug_G constantly keeps mentioning making it optional. I am having a hard time understanding why others in this thread are...

Good response Supreme. lol -Shark2k

Basically. -Shark2k

dsm, I got my parents to buy these: Lighting Science Definity BR40 - 120 Degree - 2700K - LED Bulb (DFN BR40 W27 120) | The EarthLED Store - LED Light Bulbs Direct. They are used in our kitchen in recessed fixtures and have been working well for about 6 months (got them in December). They...

Check this thread for videos of a Roadster driving in the snow (with a comparison to a Subaru): My Roadster in the snow -Shark2k

Don't know if you are being sarcastic or not (I'm assuming no because no smiley), but I would think they mean something like Eco mode and regular mode or something like that. Similar to a BMW having a sport mode and eco mode type thing. -Shark2k

Yeah, I knew that, I was just being funny (really should have put a smiley). And Kevin, the spelling you were looking for is: peripheral. -Shark2k

I am using my own eyes :tongue:. I can see everything through the mirrors. I suggest you go here: How do you adjust your side mirrors? and see about the proper adjustment for your mirrors. You will see in the gif in TEG's first post that properly adjust mirrors have really no blind spot to...

The point Kevin was making is that if your mirrors are set properly, you should have very little blind spot. I'm sure that guys mirrors were not set properly, as most people do not set their mirrors properly. With properly set mirrors you can follow someone walking around your car starting on...

If I was in the driver seat with ya, I would have :biggrin:. -Shark2k

Wow, this really is going to be huge. -Shark2k

The cool thing about these is that they can put them over any parking spot and it gives multiple advantages. It adds PV power to the grid, can help power the stores/businesses that use the parking spots and will provide shade to the cars that park under them allowing the owners of the cars to...

Except I'm pretty sure people here that want that type of horn on the EVs think it should also be on ICE vehicles. They are not also not saying for it to make some kind of sound at low speed like the Volt does. What they are saying is to have a muted horn so that you can honk it to get the...

Sorry for the rep being off like that and getting your hopes up. Would have been nice for them to have it sooner. -Shark2k

No problem. -Shark2k

Here is what she replied back with: So looks like it might have been pushed to Sunday. -Shark2k

Not sure. Didn't even think to ask, I was kind of surprised by the phone call. I just replied to the e-mail asking if she knows which one it will be. I'll reply with her response. -Shark2k

If you are in NY beginning tomorrow (4/4/2012) there were be a Beta at the NY store indefinitely. I got this from a Tesla worker who called me today because I have shown interest in the past (probably when I put my information down when I saw the Model S in NY in Oct 2011). -Shark2k

I believe at some point Musk said they will not do hybrids. I'm sure TEG or somebody else will be able to confirm (or prove wrong or correct) that. -Shark2k

Tesla isn't going to make hybrids, so it will be all electric. -Shark2k

Here is Cinergi's thread with videos of him driving in the snow: My Roadster in the snow Post #5 in the thread has a comparison of his Subaru vs his Roadster. -Shark2k

Thanks. -Shark2k

Why is the Model X there twice? -Shark2k

Ok but still, vaporware usually only has a prototype (or in the case of software/video games a video showing it off or a demonstration only). At least 2 of the betas at the latest event in CA were done on the production line I believe and pretty sure they have been using the production line to...

Model S does not fall under the vaporware category. They have working versions of the car that are pretty close to production and multiple versions. Also, according to the Wikipedia link dsm posted, Model S does not fit. Besides, even by what you just said in this people can touch and feel...

Michael, that's what I was telling you about at the Revenge showing. Very possible it is limited to earlier models. -Shark2k

Sssh, stop talking all smart like :wink: -Shark2k

My take on this is that it all stems from this: More specifically the bold part. Not trying to point fingers, but I'm sure the bold part came off as Mitrovic saying if this car does not succeed then EVs all over the world will not succeed. It probably should have been qualified that if it...

I didn't actually look at the article but the way it was linked and quoted made it seem like that quote came from Ghosn to me. Ignore my comment. Simple mistake. -Shark2k

Not that it will change your opinion of his opinion and that I'm not trying to justify what he said, but "that guy" is currently the CEO of Renault and Nissan and was probably a big reason as to why the Leaf came out. Just saying. -Shark2k

I'm sorry but this just seems incorrect to me, considering the point of winter tires. -Shark2k

I also drive a manual and don't want creep. Besides, as MPT already mentioned elsewhere, BMW has dealt with the forgetting you have the car in drive and getting out of the car. I believe he said it shut it off when you have it in drive and get off the seat. -Shark2k

You are all confusing me :confused: lol. -Shark2k

+1. I was thinking something similar. -Shark2k

Like AnOutsider said, please don't hate me for LMAO. Thanks Doug, I got a good chuckle at that. The way you worded was great. -Shark2k

It's good. I have no problems setting up an order, but I'm also a noob with trading and not always 100% on what I want to use as my conditions. They do have a help feature. I like it though and find it pretty easy to use considering. -Shark2k

OptionsHouse. $3.95 per transaction. -Shark2k

Do we really know that though? How do we know that it just isn't these companies wanting to spend more to get the longer range? Or it could just be that because they are doing a conversion getting a longer range without more compromises is (i.e., Focus EV and taking away trunk space). I just...

Thank you TEG!!! -Shark2k

Pretty sure Tesla at least did the extreme cold testing with the Roadster. I believed they blogged about it way back and how they took it to some frozen tundra. -Shark2k
