Tesla cars sell great in Norway. And they, along with others living in Mn, speak volumes about how decent the car does in winter (for starters, the weight is balanced, not over the front wheels).
e-golf is ugly, slow, bad design on the battery (which means that they will not last), etc. etc. etc. VW could not design an electric car even though their life depends on it. Hopefully, Bently will do the job right since the rest of VW just plain sux.
and yet, everybody that owns EVs (real EVs, not hybrids like the volt or the I3), walk away from ICE cars. Why? Because they are far less hassles than ICE cars. Rare stops at charging stations. Just plug-in at night time and go.
actually, that is the majority of America and Europe. And these are not for upper-middle class, but middle class.
A leaf goes for $20K. That is affordable by anybody in the middle class.
actually, tesla model S costs the same or less then the comparable cars that they compete against. And with a range of 250 MPC, they hold up well against the average range.
and yet, you would be wrong according to the report and real life experience.
The Nissan leaf is available for 20K. The average price of a new car in America is $32,500. As such, the leaf is cheap.
The fact is, that number 1 EV car, Tesla Model S, is selling all that they can produce, and they are currently selling to less than 1/5 of the world. (using google cache since site is already/.)
Why are their cars in such demand even though they do not waste money on advertisement:
1) It is a luxury car with extreme performance.
2) the constant update and electric dashboard captivates everybody that drives it.
3) the ownership issue is finally being realized and ppl are learning that the costs of the tesla is much lower on the backend.
4) the fastest superchargers are being built all over Europe, America, and parts of Asia. These allow for free charging with 150 MPC done within 20 minues and 220 MPC done within 60 minutes.
5) all of the innovation is in this car, as opposed to having little innovation.
6) most of all, ppl like the 250 MPC. The idea of only getting less than 100 MPC and not having a super fast charger around DOES bother a lot of ppl. And it should.
Chevy volt, nissan leaf, i3, etc are all pure POS in which the car sales have been going down, not up as expected. In general the leaf and i3 are too weird looking and offer equal or less performance to ICE cars BY DESIGN. Interestingly, all of the electric cars could EASILY blow away ICE cars. Why do they not? Because it would gut the sales of ICE so, none of the car companies want that. However, all can see where Tesla is headed. Basically, they will be a major car maker (as in top 5) within 10 years.
residential HVAC. Basically:
1) insulate a home;
2) put in new windows, doors;
3) put in LED bulbs;
4) put in geo-thermal HVAC;
Then for the next 10-15 years, collect the difference on the utility bill. After that, the changes belong to the home.
It seems like this might be a win-win type operation.
Dragon, Cygnus, and HTV all use the western side.
The progress uses the russian side as did the ESA's ATV.
And since ESA no longer flies the ATV, it is only Russian craft, on the Russian side.
LOL.
SpaceX is a new company and had 19 launches before failure on this. Even now, we still do not know what caused this.
They have already shown that had this been a manned flight, that the crew would have survived just fine. Hell, the dragon stayed whole after the explosion and that was without an escape system.
I suspect that PLENTY of astronauts and regular citizens such as myself, would feel very happy and trusting of SpaceX. The same for CST-100 on Atlas or Delta. And even Soyuz.
I will give you credit. Most of the trolls here are done as ACs.
There are far better designs. For one, everybody is moving to methane, as opposed to H2 or RP-1.
Secondly, these are just growing pains. As such, not a big deal.
I do not think so.
I think that the big sites are ALL ready for IPv6. Netflix, Walmart, Amazon, etc are all ready.
So, if several of these large ISPs decide to go IPv6 only, they MIGHT lose a few customers, but I suspect not many. In fact, if they announce this together and give others 1 year to get their act together, we would likely see a change on all sites/ISPs.
Yeah, but if Comcast and/or TW were to announce that they were going to drop their IPv4 in say 1 year, then it would put everybody on notice that they must be up to snuff or lose customers, etc.
Poppycock.
Best thing is for these companies, such as att, to keep holding them. We need to move off ipv4. Now, we have more and more incentives to do so.
Nearly all networks are ready. Best to simply have 1-3 large isp , say Comcast, Google, and time-warner, switch their residence over to ipv6 ONLY.
When business get calls about lack of ipv6, then they get on the ball.
Look.
Most residence and small businesses have modems in which the firewall is automatically enabled. That is what saves them, not NAT. For medium and large business, they can run a decent firewall.
Seriously, the only way that we are going to move to ipv6 is when being denied ipv4.
The good news is that most are ready.
Ideally, a large isp will decide to drop the ipv4 section and see how it goes.

The prius is NOT an EV. It is a POS hybrid.

which is why I would think of only doing this with geo-thermal and electric. Gas has far too many issues.

You are STILL not allowed to libel, which is what this is.
not really. They lost their last progress.
LOL.
Yeah, oddly, they are not the only ones with that same plan.
I do not think so.

It is conversions and tunnels that add real overhead. Best thing is to get large isps to simply switch their residence over to ipv6.
change your Mac address every so often.

Why bother? The reason the first post was AC is that he is a moron and knows it.
