The Model 3 doesn't even have a dedicated heater element: it uses waste heat from the motor to heat the battery and has some way to use the motor for heating even when not moving.
Because the GP used kilometers. Not really a USian kind of thing, is it?
I know lots of USians might not like to admit it, but there is at least one North American country that uses metric measurements. It's also known that Tesla is delivering Model 3s there: Canada.
I just love it when I am "corrected" by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. Hint: I actually bought a Model 3, so I know this better than you.
Here's how it worked: Reservation deposit: $1000. Then, you get your invitation to configure and order a Model 3. To turn this configuration into an actual order, you have to put down an additional $2,500 deposit. Both the $1,000 and the $2,500 are credited against the purchase price of the car. Some time after ordering, Tesla will tell you what your delivery date and location is.
All that has happened now is that the invitations have gone out to all reservation holders and the lead times for delivery may have increased. There is no new payment required.
That isn't a new requirement -- a Tesla spokeswoman told Ars that the company has long asked customers to pay a $2,500 deposit when they order other Tesla models.
Model 3 buyers have always (*) been required to pay a $2,500 deposit when ordering. "other" isn't appropriate here. Is that a mistake by the Tesla spokesperson or by Ars?
* It's possible that there were special rules for "family and friends (and employees)" who ordered very early Model 3s.
Some doses depend on the rate at which the drug becomes available to the body.
It's possible to adjust the dose to match the rate at which the pill dissolves (and hence control the uptake of the drug) but then a change to a different supplier by the pharmacist may put the dose off.
So I can maybe haz privacy, but I haz to move to California to get it? Shiitttt.... if I had that much money, (and could tolerate living in that crazy place,) I'd already be there.
So, basically, you like CA politics and policies, but you don't want to live there because "reasons"? You should try it some time. It's neither as crazy, nor as left wing as many people living in red states (or red states of mind) would like you to believe.
What's wrong with making various costs individual line items?
Because the "free market" requires accurate information. If you don't know how much your bill will be, you cannot compare prices between suppliers.
Free market advocates should be outraged at these fees.
Most of these "taxes and fees" have no connection to the services provided. A few years ago, I rented a car at DFW airport and one of the "taxes and fees" that I had to pay was for the property taxes on the car. But the rental company did not have a cost that matched what they charged me. Yes, they had to pay property taxes for the car, but they would have to pay tax had I not rented the car and it stayed in the garage.
Methane has a much greater impact on warming than CO2. While it doesn't last forever in the atmosphere, eventually, CO2 is produced from the methane. Plants don't convert methane.
So, it's not neutral when you consider the climate effects.
Well, I can compare oranges and apples. It doesn't make the comparison valid, though. Your argument is equivalent to arguing that a sidecar for a motorcycle is cheaper than a new BMW car. It's true, but irrelevant.
Some states like California require CO detectors when a house is sold
My city (in CA) requires you to bring the CO and smoke detectors up to current code if you request any permit. That means, no removable battery types, a smoke detector in every bedroom, and a CO detector in any hallway that leads to bedrooms.
I did not even consider buying a non-name brand CO detector.
I had to throw away a name-brand CO/smoke detector. It went off when there was not CO or smoke. Reviews on Amazon show that this behaviour is common for this model. It was a newer model, with a built-in battery: the only way to stop it sounding its alarm is destructive.
It's possible that the alarm was merely over-sensitive: there is probably some CO in the air in my house, but no other sensor has ever alarmed, before or after, but still, this suggests bad design from a brand-name manufacturer.
You can't compare Solar roof to panels. You have to compare Solar roof to the cost of panels plus the cost of the roof itself.
Yes, as a retrofit, Solar roof will be very expensive, but that's not the target market.
People buy houses with roofs that look nice but cost more. Those people won't want an ugly house with a cheap roof and some cheap panels slung on top, which may be as or almost as expensive as a very nice looking roof that will last the life of the house.

That's what people generally do, which brings me back to my question: do 110V/32A chargers exist?
In the USA, 110V circuits are not typically rated for 30A.
220V. US homes have +110V and -110V. High power appliances (oven, electric dryer, A/C) connect to both sides, so they have 220V.
Lots of older US houses have 100A or 125A supplies.
Do 32A/120V chargers exist?
The Model 3 doesn't even have a dedicated heater element: it uses waste heat from the motor to heat the battery and has some way to use the motor for heating even when not moving.

Most EVs will charge at 7kWh from most commercial chargers. That means that you can get enough charge for 5 miles in under 15 minutes.
Most people will leave their cars plugged in overnight, or at the office, when they are working, so their time isn't wasted.
You only get about 4-5 mph (miles of range per hour) when charging from 120V. Wherever you live, you must have long nights.

What part of the "real world" do you live in that doesn't have grid electricity in your house?
From the sub-heading of TFA:
"Technique could be practical enough to scale."
Nearly 100% of the time, but not all.

No.
Methane has a much greater impact on warming than CO2. While it doesn't last forever in the atmosphere, eventually, CO2 is produced from the methane. Plants don't convert methane.
So, it's not neutral when you consider the climate effects.
But what about the methane that people produce?

VLAN. I do not think that word means what you think it means.
