  1. Believe it or not, some governments don't consider hydro a renewable.

    That's what I thought... All the reports I've seen say they came up short for the week. And of course, as we saw in December, doing a "push" to hit a big week doesn't mean you can sustain it (as it took a few months for Tesla to actually be able to sustain the burst they did at the of December 2017).

  4. You can't. But with 93% of the power, you can get back to 1987...

    As deployment of solar and wind increases, so do electricity prices. How much more do you want to pay for electricity?

    BYD is the holding company that owns BAIC. Much like General Motors owns Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac, BYD owns several brands too - one of which is BAIC.

    Tesla has not yet reached 5000 model 3s per week. It's a false claim. But Rei's pretty famous for that, when it comes to Tesla.

    Link, please. I can't find it anywhere. I find a lot of claims that Tesla came up a bit short, but did NOT reach 5000 units per week. Or are you stretching the truth again?

    I see Tesla doing 75% of the EC180 sales alone - not including the other EVs from BYD. Yes, coming up short by 25% is a long way...

    China's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, BYD

    That should be the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, BYD. Their EC180 is the best selling EV in the world, by a large margin. That might upset the Teslarati here, though, so i guess BeauHD took the easy way out...

    Neither China nor India has any pledge to reduce or restrict CO2 output until 2030, per Paris. So we give them $1 trillion+ over the next 12 years, and they may THINK about starting to restrict CO2 output after that. Seems like a bad deal all around...

    If I rent a vehicle and drive through a red light camera, or park at an expired meter, the rental company receives the traffic ticket and it's up to them to track me down. Same thing should apply here. Ticket the scooter company, and it's up to them to identify the user (pretty simple, who was using it/just used it prior to the infraction) and pass the fine along.

    No worries! Regulations and laws change so fast in CA it's hard to stay on top of them... And if you miss just one, you open up your company to 7 figure fines and penalties because you didn't realize you missed one of hundreds of new laws passed every year.

  23. No, tangible was right. Can you even touch a base Model 3, let alone buy one? If not - it's a fantasy, something that doesn't exist. Which it doesn't.

    Well, if YOU want to pay premiums for labor when you have spot-labor requirements, go for it. Most people would like to hire an engineer for a 40-80 hour job, who has an MSEE and 20 years of RF design experience for $80/hour and call it done... But hey, go ahead and pay that premium! I guess you like to go to a car dealer, look at the sticker price, and ask for a few extra thousand added on or the dealer, too?

  25. So - can you buy that base Model 3 today? If not - you're simply talking about an imaginary vehicle versus a tangible vehicle.
