    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Yep, that's a good point of course ... or they could as well ask them to do the whole car. I guess they are caught in the middle ... some people, I am sure will tell them, you need to produce your own circuit boards (considering the gems on them ...), other people will say contract the whole...

    Any other Zero riders?

    The estimate is broad, because the kWh consumption has a broad range in this application .... function of speed, vehicle drag, total weight, ambient temperature, etc. .... it's really very different than ICE vehicles (not necessarily the factors involved, but rather the degree of impact on the...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Location? .... Fremont? You know who used to be there before them? OK, perhaps you are referring to HQ in Silicon Valley ... I am not sure that's relevant. Funding? .... How else would you fund a car company starting today? Is there any other way, one can start a car company today, without...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Yep, that will be a pretty good litmus test as far as corrosion goes.

    Return of Ford Nation

    It really depends where you live ... I think big population areas will continue to be served by big power, even 50 years from now. There's economy of scales and money to be made. Public will also demand that grid power is clean moving forward and affordable, as majority of people today start to...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I am not sure I would agree with this. It's cliche phrase these days used by many .... Surely, they started as tech company and probably still are predominantly focused on the tech side R&D, but to say that it doesn't make them a car company is coming across wrong for me. If that were true, I'd...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    That was an interesting video. I am not sure I believe all of his conclusions or opinions (just because there's not many people who have done what they have, yet). Suspension arm and a zip tied mysterious , probably, vibration damper? ... yeah, that was kind of weird. One would love to hear...

    Any other Zero riders?

    Sounds about right what I have read .... the 240km locally and non-hwy is obviously not a problem. That should not stop anyone from buying one. The issue is the 110 lower end, because most people buy a this sort of bike to enjoy the speed and power which one has to take into a careful...

    Any other Zero riders?

    I'd say you summarized it pretty well. Bikes will be waiting quite a bit longer for the viable long distance solutions. Almost looks like it will need a new battery tech first, since we would require the same mileage as cars, yet the space the designers have to cram the current available power...

    Any other Zero riders?

    You are doing it wrong, like all the other people who will complain to nth degree about quite cars or bikes .... LOOK first then go ... I know it sounds simple, but I am not kidding. Hearing is for listening to music or having a conversation, not for crossing streets and other traffic related...

    Liberal government plans to block pirate sites

    Right, which means that it's just "torrent" in a box.

    Return of Ford Nation

    Yep, this move smells like many other energy related steps. In my view, the idea of a grid based mainly on clean power is the correct one. Having said that, the plan should make a long term sense and that includes the price, Ontarians must be ready pay for the benefit of having a clean modern...

    Liberal government plans to block pirate sites

    But the TV box still needs internet connection .... so how will this exactly avoid the censorship vultures in the future? If TV box will beat it, I am sure my current tools will deal with it as well in the future. They might be able to stop ordinary and disinterested folks, but not someone who...

    Liberal government plans to block pirate sites

    I don't know, but I can select what I want to watch and when. Commercials are no problem for me. I don't watch politics on TV, 99% sports and educational channels. I spend like probably 5 minutes on commercials a week. Not that difficult to avoid. I never heard of the idea being paid for...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    LOL .... just another expert on Tesla, eh? What else is new? ... or better yet, what other theme than Tesla topic ensures endless bandwidth traffic these days? Someone counted, that literally daily, tens of people make a video or write an article about how Tesla is doomed. Maybe not today, but...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    So what would be the reason to add a fake seat (considering the size and console right in front of it)? BTW, the rebate programs are hardly Ontario inventions. I don't profess to know the details of programs elsewhere, but I doubt the number of seats in a vehicle is uniquely Ontario thing as...

    One day I went solo to a tract unknown to me ... so I pre-printed the trail map on a piece of paper and put into my riding pants pocket. I felt younger instantly, bringing the memories of the premium technology of our youth ... LOL

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Agreed .... I have not owned a sedan yet in my life and never will, unless it's given to me free .... And let me also tell you, that I now know why people buy the Soul so much as a practical city car which easily fits into a small garage space .... :-)
