Yeah, it sux that the GOP pulled their In-session and other BS, and since then, O has done everything in his legal power to get around an extremely racist GOP.
It was Europe that wanted the invasion. Hillary backed the wrong pony. And massage thinks that is indictable? He needs to show that she did that for personal gain. Or that she lied to make for personal gains. While I opposed Libya's invasion, the fact that she backed it is not a criminal act.
yeah, you never see those freeways go through a crowed city and those trucks have to deal with avoiding all of the passenger vehicles that pull in front of them and then hit their brakes.
Tesla owners will change their brake pads about every 100,000 miles. And even then, it is not a sure thing.
Regen braking has less chance of failure than does regular brakes. So, on say, I70, when coming down from the tunnel down the mountain, the re-gens will actually add loads of energy back into the pack. In fact, when headed east, a truck like this would be wise to have their pack nearly empty upon exiting the Eisenhower tunnel. By the time an EV gets to the bottom, they will have a mostly recharged pack.
there is a reason why semis have jake breaks. Turns out that semis do a LOT of braking for stops, stop lights, and to deal with the traffic that is running all around them.
The first is that they need not 1 engine, but multiple smaller engines. By going with smaller engine/gens, they can turn on-off as needed. In addition, it makes it far more durable with the redundancy, but also easy to maintain by taking them out to rebuild/fix.
The second is that CNG is the wrong fuel. CNG is far too easy to bleed off. Instead, with LNG, it will not bleed off, and this can lower the GHG.
The third is they really do need the ability to recharge the battery at a station. It is far cheaper to recharge those batteries from the grid than from the nat gas. And with 320 KWH, well, that is a lot of energy that can be grabbed.
The last is the trailers, really need to be modified. In particular, they should have a motor/axle in the rear. This will not only help to accelerate, but also for re-gen.
honda's reputation is good for initial build, BUT, they do not stand behind their car. If issues show up, tough shit. https://www.warrantydirect.com...
Tesla's warranty is not only better than most, including Honda, but they are known for standing behind the vehicle for any issues that show up as their fault.
And in light of what turned up with this ball joint, they still do.
there have been issues. BUT at this time, there has probably only been one real lemon and that was the model X.
The Dentists in Wist was caught red-handed pulling stunts. Basically, he was a nice piece of GOP trash.
117K, and Tesla did it to keep from wasting money.
Personally, I wish that Musk had made the choice instead and countersued. It was proven that the guy was a liar, through and through.
the guy in wisc was a joke. He was found cheating to make it look like a lemon. This was all about the lawyer and his friend making off like bandits like they did with volvo, audi, and MB.
As to the X, well, yeah, the guy has issues with the car. IIRC, it was a founders, which was in the first 1000, so not surprising that he had issues. Still, I am amazed that he just did not ask for a trade and let Tesla have this one. Issue would have been solved. BUT, I heard enough to agree that it WAS a real lemon.
Right. Early version of S ALSO had issues. It was known that there would be issues with X as well since it is probably the most complex car ever made.
That is why they sold Founders and Signature series and told the owners to expect issues.
That is also why the INITIAL sales of model 3 will be to employees, and then to current owners. We know that there have been issues. BUT, Tesla has always backed them, which is why they are loved. So, if they do not back, then it makes them the same as all others.
Right. And that is why Honda has the reputation that they have. Tesla has had some initial quality issues, BUT, they have stood behind the vehicle and their work. Otherwise, they will gain the same reputation as Honda, Toyota, MB, Audi, BMW, Ford, GM, etc.
Oh, and trying to hide this, is exactly what the others do.
no, I see a MAJOR story. This is NOT how Tesla has operated. This is how companies like GM, Audi, VW, Mercedes, Toyota, Ford, Honda, etc operate. Tesla has stood behind their work and it has made them who they are today. They need to rethink this CAREFULLY.
Tesla is considered one of, if not the, best car makers going. Not because they are error free, but because they were backing their vehicles. That is also why we own a 2013 Tesla Model S.
BUT, if Tesla is NOT backing these vehicles, and is trying to hide this like regular car makers, then, it will lead many, including us, to rethink ownership.
Seriously, here in the US, I am amazed that the USPO, which does our passports, has not picked up a sideline of doing state IDs (IDs, not driver licenses), along with the ability to have a verified ID key. It makes sense for them to be able to create these (actually sell them), since they are already used to checking IDs, etc.
Would I want to be verified everywhere? Not a chance. OTOH, when dealing with the IRS, stores, etc. I very much would love to have them require a vetted ID, esp. when dealing with CCs.
You obviously have no clue about the constitution. NO WHERE IN THERE DOES IT SAY THAT THE FEDS CAN NOT TOUCH THE INTERNET. NO WHERE. Why? Because it was written 200 years ago. It is also why our forefathers wrote it loosely to allow for future changes.
So, does the constitution protect our snail mail as you and others pretend? The answer is NO. What protects are laws that the feds made a century ago: 18 U.S.C. 1703.
Now, take the example of a phone conversation over a land line. We ARE protected because it is carried via private lines that the gov does not control. As such, the gov must get a warrant to tap not OUR lines, BUT the phone companies lines.
OTOH, who controls DNS, IP, etc? Well, it is the federal gov who is sharing that responsibility with private industry. This is why the feds do NOT want to give up control of these. Once all of that goes into private hands, they no longer have capabilities. The Constitution does NOT protect any of the email since it is not only sent clear text, but via PUBLIC servers. Why Public? Because they are making use of PUBLIC DNS/IP/etc.
Now, we need bills to protect our net. By simply denying the feds access to these servers, it means that enemies will have FULL CONTROL over these. It also means that our NSA, and FBI will simply turn to our allies, such as Canada, UK, Australia, or NZ, to break into our systems and grab the data (again, easy enough since so many losers run windows as well as offshore to India that will guarantee that back-doors are being inserted).
Now, if we pass a law that says that the feds can NOT tap into anything encrypted without a warrant, that solves a NUMBER OF ISSUES.
First, it will encourage ALL protocol writers to encrypt.
Secondly, it will encourage all app writers to encrypt their data, esp things like email, messaging, etc.
Third, the first two will help protect users against the likes of China, Russia, etc as well as our gov.
Fourth, it creates a level playing field that all of us within gov will have to play from. Without something like this, it denies to the those of us in the US access to the data that all others can obtain easily.

Oh, I doubt that info on trump will be leaked. After trying to put trump into office, they need something to blackmail him with.
Nope. If he supports Putin, Assad, and China like claimed, then trump is his man. All of those, as well as Iran and North Korea, fully support trump.
I have to wonder why now? Why not earlier?
Yeah, it sux that the GOP pulled their In-session and other BS, and since then, O has done everything in his legal power to get around an extremely racist GOP.
U need to read the constitution. Iran deal was Obama's to make and Senate to approve/disprove.
It was Europe that wanted the invasion. Hillary backed the wrong pony. And massage thinks that is indictable? He needs to show that she did that for personal gain. Or that she lied to make for personal gains. While I opposed Libya's invasion, the fact that she backed it is not a criminal act.
Yeah, this approach would never be used on trains. For example, they would never run diesel engine/generators to run electric motors.
And, none of the rail companies would find it economical to switch said diesel to nat gas.
yeah, you never see those freeways go through a crowed city and those trucks have to deal with avoiding all of the passenger vehicles that pull in front of them and then hit their brakes.

but this truck will not have jake breaks. As such, no go. They need re-gen braking for slowing down when dealing with say, I-70 in Colorado.
there is a reason why semis have jake breaks. Turns out that semis do a LOT of braking for stops, stop lights, and to deal with the traffic that is running all around them.

BUT, otherwise, that is one heck of a truck.

Seriously, this is an opportunity for Linux to step forward and provide lots of nice hardware for ppl.
Oops, not 117K, but 127K. Still a great deal less than 160K.
Here is a short explanation of why the doc/lawyer did NOT get what they really wanted, which was a great deal more.
And had they gotten what those 2 wanted, there would be lots of lemon vehicles with plenty of sharks like you out there.
117K, and Tesla did it to keep from wasting money.
Personally, I wish that Musk had made the choice instead and countersued. It was proven that the guy was a liar, through and through.
the guy in wisc was a joke. He was found cheating to make it look like a lemon. This was all about the lawyer and his friend making off like bandits like they did with volvo, audi, and MB.
As to the X, well, yeah, the guy has issues with the car. IIRC, it was a founders, which was in the first 1000, so not surprising that he had issues.

Tesla has stood behind their work.
FALSE
Tesla lies and blames the drivers when their piece of shit cars are at fault.
Well, there is a good reason why you are AC, because you are a liar.
Up to this point, there has been no lemons from tesla.
Right. And that is why Honda has the reputation that they have. Tesla has had some initial quality issues, BUT, they have stood behind the vehicle and their work. Otherwise, they will gain the same reputation as Honda, Toyota, MB, Audi, BMW, Ford, GM, etc.

It is time to be smart about this.
