I follow the reasoning in your post JHM and think it makes sense, but I am curious about your reasoning regarding the discount rates used here? Thanks

Maybe the toroid only sees a difference if one wire is carrying less current than the other like when there is a leak?

Very nice work, thanks for showing us :smile:

Yes, this is very interesting! :smile:

Interesting tidbit from the live stream: JB said he would be very surprised if batteries doesn't cost $100/kwh at the end of decade (2020). :smile:

I have often heard that refining gasoline/diesel requires certain amount of electricity but never seen a reliable source for the exact numbers, if any of you have one please post it here and make my life easier arguing with deniers. Thx

The most important thing I can conclude from the picture is that the 3-armed martian looks happy and comfortable inside the X-mule

Motor Hp = The maximum amount of power the motors can output, unsure if this number is for short bursts, constant output or something in between. Hp = The maximum amount of power the battery and inverter can output, may also be software limited. Lowest number is what to go by.

Sounds like you just need a hinge and attach another smaller ramp that folds out to the inside of the car. Should fold together when transported :rolleyes:

Agree, the mirai and i3 look like dog turds because they must not be able to compete on an equal level.

Yeah saw this, interesting idea but i dont see it working unless we get a generally accepted standard. Looks great though.

That car got smashed up good, sorry to hear the driver didn't survive. At least no fire...

Here is what I believe has happened: Tesla missed its diffuse deadline and to keep customers as happy as possible they deliver early, with the updated software and bug fixes coming in as soon as ready. The genius, once again tried to help out the worried customers by tweeting, even knowing he...

Season 1, Episode 3 : "Heavyweight Champion of the Moon" Aired on adultswim November 10, 2014 Mike and the gang pick up Buzz Aldrin at the airport in Las Vegas, but just before Aldrin lets Mike in on the biggest secret of the universe, he is killed in yet another one of Mike's car...

Thanks Rob, I attached some screenshots.

I have never seen the car side connection melt, maybe they should just make a 14-50 adapter to tesla type that stays put and have the cable be tesla type on both ends. Who ever made this type of connection should be punished, they are melting like chocolate.

Here it what it says on Teslas norwegian page about incentives: http://www.teslamotors.com/no_NO/incentives/NO Might have to right click links and open in new tab to see the details.

Sorry to hear some person vandalized your car :mad: I would have been furious, If i ever saw this happen to anyone elses car I would make a citizen's arrest.

Happy to hear it all went well, was very touching to read about it.

You deserve better friends Brett, I have done the same thing a few times for different reasons. Sometimes you just have to stop wasting time on people who doesn't deserve it and move on.

Thanks for the numbers matbl. Assuming the numbers are correct, is the major difference because of the corresponding import tax+customs duty?

The original series was great and hopefully this one is too. Thanks for posting this Tigerade.

http://esd.volvocars.com/site/concept/concept-estate/video/VOLVO_HMI_concept-estate-high.mp4 I agree and look at these door handles, seem to be flush too :smile:

Hi Ubbe, dont have creepy ads or the problem with game of war you have on my ipad. Suggest you pm a site administrator about the issue: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showgroups.php

There was one guy who posted in "what do you do for work" who said this: "All right, that question got me to register. I work for an Oil Company. I try to find MORE oil, and to get it out of the ground as cheaply and safely as possible. At the moment I'm sitting on an oil production...

This problem has already been solved elsewhere, when glass gets too busy with water/dirt only a high speed rotating clear glass/lens works, and it works great.They just need to make one for rear view cameras where turbulence is an issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_view_screen

Glad no one died, thats a lot worse than some frunk grilling.

Opening the image in a new window/tab seems to flip it correctly :smile:

Very nice talk. To me the interesting points were cathode and anode are inherently stable just interaction with electrolyte gives degradation, higher state of charge and higher temperature were main culprits of harmful electrolyte interaction. Combinations of additives to electrolyte can give...

Good find JRP3. He is super excited about his model S which he says is the best car in its class, better than the M5 and more fun. He lives in the south of Sweden and never has any range problems even with the non existing charging infrastructure, drives from his home to the factory and to...

Thanks, will watch.

The Gen III car thats supposed to be $35k, 200 mile range in 2015-2017 has a queue of people waiting for it that stretches two laps around the earth. If you have a short commute there are cheaper EV-alternatives like the leaf, bmw i3, fiat 500e etc. that might work for you. Some people get good...

The driver's seat BMW i3 testdrive: Interesting commentary by the reviewers, maybe that is a common view by people not following the EV-world.

Thanks Mario, Vossen makes nice wheels and good videos :smile:

Yup, I hate it as much as anyone but you just have to keep setting the facts straight. Nothing weighs higher in my experience when someone who actually owns the car tells it like it is. “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”...

I have had this problem myself so I have thought some about this, and doing so I have seen some solutions to this. 1. Mount the camera inside the rear window, this might work if the rear window stays clean or has a wiper blade. 2. Rotating the lens or a protective screen at high speed ~1500...

Im sorry your beautiful car is damaged artsci but I am glad it doesn't seem to be anything that cant be fixed. Good luck with the repairs and I'm sure it will be back in pristine shape soon.

I have no qualms with the i3 but two things, the pig faced chubby design and the smallish size of the battery pack. I am sure it rides pretty good but its no Tesla, just hope there is a market for this vehicle too because that will keep Bmw working on ev's.

Are you guys sure the "wiper blade defroster" is actually heating the wipers? The reason I'm asking because I have this on my car which isn't a Tesla but it doesn't heat the wipers, instead it heats the lower part of the windscreen so that the wipers come loose in the morning if there is ice on...

I always liked Fisker, nothing I would buy myself but it was a decent performer and good looking. There are about 15 other car brands id rather have seen fail before them. But to the point, I dont think Nevs will fail any time soon and the reason is that they have a different financial...

:biggrin: Thanks for posting this, that it can keep up is amazing.

Because you are a new poster, I think its a spam protection but it will go away if you keep posting here, dont know how many posts it takes. :smile:

Hi and welcome Bjorn, someone actually already posted your video in an other thread here but Its a great vid. Thank you for taking the time to make it and showing us, keep them coming :smile:

We aint going to mars if we dont keep trying :D

Awsome work Timdorr, have a nice trip.

I checked the northern city of Kiruna, Sweden and this is what i got: Avg daily temp last ten years, Kiruna: We had average daily temperatures below -30 C (-22F) in one year for the last ten years, that was in 2012, early February for 2,5-3 days. If we look closer we see the lowest...

luvb2b, others have unsuccessfully tried to explain that 3 fires are not a very dependable estimator for the mean. Sure its the best unbiased estimator we can get but the standard deviation is 1.73 fires with 10820 car-years [sqrt(np(1-p)) where p=3/10820 and n=10820] using your binomial...
