he's also setting up a market to take used batteries from older electric cars. 50% usable storage in an electric car battery would render it useless. 50% usable storage in a house battery would be no big deal....if the pricing reflected that.
seems like on average, my (somewhat large) house is using 2.7kW/hr during warm weather when my AC is running...including slow charging my electric car each night.
That's a lot of power. Would run through a 10kWhr battery in a few hours.
as an owner of an electric car, it would be amazing if tesla (and others) would allow you to plug your car into these battery packs so as to leverage all the infrastructure of the house battery (heavy duty terminals to your house, etc) but add the additional 24kwh+ of power stored in your car.

but with dental care!
perhaps in profit? not in outcomes. not in availability.
Or 13 patient gowns, at a cost of $100 each, from my last bill
Yup, speaking as someone who has the latest gen Oculus...it's definitely hyped beyond what it will deliver. It's mediocre at best.
I have the second gen dev version (latest).
It's a disappointment.
Heavy, bulky, uncomfortable, poor resolution and buggy software/drivers.
I'm sure VR will eventually take off, but honestly, the Oculus doesn't feel much better than the VR headsets I used in the 90s.
NYC is among the NEWEST of the mega-cities. In was fairly small until the 1800's.
I think you'd have to use reverse-psychology....
tell the officer...."ok, you can have the computer, but whatever you do, you can not have that USB Drive."
Then he will grab it and activate your device for you.
I guess that's one way to secure your data! ...wait..it had no HDD??
It's not that YOU'RE tampering with evidence.
It's that you have previously setup a PROCESS to secure your information if you become incapacitated.
This technology has existed for a long time in military communication equipment. Pull the key out and it kills your data/comms.
She thinks she turns off her computer by pressing the power button on her monitor. she also calls the internet...AOL.
Same here. We cancelled cable awhile back.
Then Comcast started offering us TV + Internet deals that were cheaper than just our internet.
We signed up for that deal to save money. We don't even have our cable box connected. We're not using the TV service.
But we get counted as a subscriber. They are totally cooking the books. They have far less real subscribers than they report.
i bought mine new for $20 (Mohu Leaf) on sale and it includes the coax cable. the price of these things are dropping fast.
I have the 50mps Comcast service and it's never 50mps.
It's more like 20mps to 30mps downstream at any given time.
Uploads are typically 10mps to 20mps.
Plenty fast for me, but would be nice to get what I pay for...
I'm waiting for Apple to put a charger in their iPhone so that you can place ur Apple Watch on ur iPhone for a quick partial charge.
Well...then what did they accidentally invent?!
Cars care about weight, houses don't.
People care about the weight of their cars. Cars don't know shit.
in the ice storm of 1998, we were without power for 10 days. Honda is my friend....
You got in your car and drove away? Good thinking!

that will happen in parallel. there can be multiple pricing pressures brought to bear. it's not an either or.
don't see the economics of it making much sense compared to gas (yet) but it would be amazing for reducing noise and pollution in city areas.
I've got a Nissan Leaf with a 84 mile range and I rarely have to modify my plans due to range.
I can't imagine that a Tesla with a 260 mile range could give anyone anxiety.
Just did the math;

ha, yea, and no one has ever graduated from suicide bombing training camp
