    Suggestions For Pit Marks On Windshield

    Since delivery of our Model S on 12/29/16, our car has encountered 7 stones on our windshield leaving 4 pit marks. Seems statistically unreal, especially since our other vehicles haven't encountered this number on a combined basis over the same roads over several years. I'm guessing that the...

    HW2 software tomorrow?

    PBS Newshour - Science "Water to Power"

    Watched a segment on PBS Newshour this evening that mentioned an invention by a Greek scientist that was able to turn water into power. Would certainly want to see this invention validated for obvious reasons. When I tried to view the segment on the video version online, it wasn't there. If...

    Will Tesla/Solar City Eventually Offer Community Solar?

    It's exciting to see advances in solar, including the new solar tiles from Solar City. My wife and I will certainly explore those solar tiles for our home. However, I wonder how others will benefit from such advancements if they face barriers such as lack of ownership, shade bearing objects...

What really caught my attention was the last paragraph which reads as follows: "Despite promising signs, the electric car will need to navigate a bumpy road before it can become a viable option...

    CNN Tech Article On GM's Self-Driving Ambitions

    "I was there, and I worked on it." Sounds like you have an entirely different perspective. Do you believe it was too early for the automotive industry to pursue electric cars at that time?

    SolarEdge does not see big jump in residential batteries

    Solar is not an option for many due to certain types of barriers, i.e., nearby obstructions, inadequate space, lack of ownership, etc. Solar hosting farms could remove these barriers. Same concept as collocation facilities for servers, only they host solar panels at a remote location that sell...
