    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Sure, but only if you are part of the Ontario government "we rent your roof" thing ... in a non-government related deal with solar/power wall/grid setup .... you don't get paid the unsustainable .24$/kWh .... you are lucky if they offer you netmetering or at best they pay you peanuts/kWh ... so...

    Very nice, looks like it has been looked after really well. Have fun.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Why would you take power from the grid during peak, when you have juice in the Powerwall?

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Generally, you are correct of course, but in Tesla's case the losses are very minimal, considering they design it from the roof all the way down to the car battery. The efficiencies are very high on every component or point of conversion. It's a good system, but expensive.

    Me neither. But looking at the year, brand and price you paid. I'd say you did well (based on what I have seen on Kijiji etc.). The market is very thin up here ... I am sure in UK it's a different ball game and they would laugh all day long at us considering what we pay for used bikes here.

    Just download the pdf map, as it has the waypoints or look on Maprika which has waypoints as well ... you will see the pattern quickly. Enough to get you home ... it just might take a few waypoints before you find your P lot ... :-)

    Honda NSR250R and Suzuki RGV250, Are these legal in Ontario?

    Intact (formerly Jevco) and Northbridge. Jevco got silly expensive about 3 or years ago, at least for me. Northbridge I find great, they always work with you ... whether short VIN, or 2T enduro bike with blue plates and from OEM they don't have in their list ... LOL

    2018 Leafs|NHL

    Got you, that makes sense. My wife doesn't care for sports, nor my son does. I used to play when young and enjoy sports in general ... but not to the extent of dragging myself to watch in person or pay a big ticket price. Used to go to Minnesota North Stars games before they moved to a new arena...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    That's a big IF ... you never these sort of energy source transitions to happen in such fashion ... it will take decades and decades when majority of population switches to renewable power and by that time, our old but trusty grid will have to become a lot smarter and the utilities will have to...

    2018 Leafs|NHL

    In this weather? You must be really a die hard fan. I never have understood this sort of passion people have for the Leafs or Raptors or any sports team for that matter ... just don't have it in me to get excited over something like this. I even might watch beg. of period 1 and come back for the...

    2018 Leafs|NHL

    LOL ... Fans shut out: Only 96 seats available for general public for Leafs first home playoff game ..... only free and instant hip replacements would go faster in Toronto.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Why do you think there's a LOT of efficiency loss there? Many people in solar favorable parts of the world are doing it already. During a day their solar fills up a power wall, and in the evening when they get home they top-off their car battery and use whatever is left to run home and when they...

    You really cannot get lost totally .... assuming you remember your P lot ... LOL. Just watch the waypoint numbers, they go up and down hinting north/south, east/west direct .... sort of. But maprika is obviously easier .... :-)

    Honda NSR250R and Suzuki RGV250, Are these legal in Ontario?

    You realize that 250-300 2T are currently the most popular machines for dirt/trail riding? Coming back to street riding machines? Probably not, since they have their cons obviously for road usage. But definitely NOT left behind in general ....

    Honda NSR250R and Suzuki RGV250, Are these legal in Ontario?

    I never rode RGV250 so I would not know ... but I did have FZR250 and ZXR400 until very recently. Both bikes were really very well behaving bikes on the road. Pretty effortless to ride with more than enough power for me to have fun. I never rode the current Kawi 400, but I seriously doubt it...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    It does look interesting and I am pretty sure it will be very competitive. The one issue will be, the expected production per year ... they are starting with around 20K/year ... so chances are, we will not see the car until 2020 and you will have to pre-order early to get one. Which I hate...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Absolutely .... just to be clear 90-95m/h is definitely NOT dangerous anywhere on 4xx in GTA. You will be actually passing cars, and often. I know crazy, but that's a fact. Now, 407 is definitely moving at faster clip, but I don't use that road as a driver, ever, so no harm done.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Why? ... The car is written off after accident, right? Do you really blame Tesla that they want no part of it? (unless they can do their own safety on it). I really don't don't understand why this would be viewed as a bad approach. Rich is a good entertainer ... only reason the channel exists.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    They want it to themselves for a reason. As you said, the clientele who bought their cars long time ago supports the model, as well as the 500K model 3 reservation holders, as well as any mew model X or S buyers. So far it's been the German car manufacturers whose cars nobody wants to own AFTER...
