Yes it is. If grid goes down when the sun is shining and the inverters are allowed to continue running they would energize the grid if not disable and so endanger linemen who did not follow the required safety protocols. At least that the untilities' argument. Thus the inverters are triggered by...
Unfortunately I will be cancelling my order (I was very high up in the numbers anyway since I didn't place the order until Musk announced he would be shrinking the truck by 3%). I wanted the truck not only as transportation but also as an energy storage device so fitting in my standard size...
All my reasons have been covered by others save one. In the off-chance we don't have V2G charging available, the CT still has 120v receptacles in the bed that can be tapped during power outages. No more worries of food spoilage and perhaps can even keep Netflix going. ;)
Yet another justification for installing the Miltek sound synthesizer. I'll have a sound file of a feminine voice cooing "Yoo-hoo, handsome..." and then I'll just follow ever other man in the parking lot to my truck. ;)
I'm 72 but I'm thinking that future researchers will discover that the long sought answer to age reversal will be to spend lots of time in a stainless steel electric vehicle (they will discover that a mysterious resonance occurs within the stainless steel enclosure that resonates with...
The more I've thought about it the more convinced I am that at some point I will add a synthetic sound generator (probably mounted in the compartment below the vault bed) and, of course, will want a sound file from a big diesel (complete with compression brake, aka "jake brake"). So have got to...
We're not just talking cars and trucks. Remember Musk's comment that his virtual power plant plans would be far more important than his auto manufacturing. If you have a battery that can be charged and discharged without degradation, then you have the basis for a vehicle to grid system that...
We have on board power so perhaps we could add this to the storage area in the bed of the vault: https://www.amazing1.com/products/phasor-pain-field-generator-for-home-protection.html
Let's add a Mac Diesel to the sound track (complete with jake brake) and a soap bubble dispenser; the perfect response for those guys who like to "coal roll" EV's.
I'm not really surprised by the gender skew; I think I have read that the national average for female buyers of new vehicles is only 14% (we could probably get into an interesting Freudian tangent at this point ;)). What I find really encouraging is that one would probably argue that embracing...
I think it's interesting to compare the premise of this article with the age of buyers posting. Seventy-four point three percent of actual buyers are age 40 or above, so I found it interesting to re-read the article with that additional info in mind.
The Existentialist definition of the good choice is that choice leading to the maximum number of choices.:) In 2018 Musk warned that AI is more dangerous than nukes, so my hope would be that he would always give humans the option to purchase a vehicle with a steering wheel and the ability to...
