Really? I was able to rent a gas car no problems, their policy of not accepting ATM's was only for electrics. Not to mention it was pre-paid via a corporate credit card. The past 20 years I haven't needed one even with traveling from time to time. We don't consider having a credit card...

Dang it, Hertz wouldn't let me rent the Tesla. First round the pre-payment by my employer wasn't acceptable when I showed up because I did not have it in hand. Then wouldn't rent it to me when I changed the reservation to my card, which they still wouldn't use to rent the Tesla because it...

My SO! was a vote to keep it, as is what does it matter what others think.

SO! But if you do want to change it go with this one, I find it creepier.

I am traveling to Austin for a conference the week of the 22nd, got the company to rent me a model Y, it will be my first time in an electric.

It definitely went Kerbal. I am sure they got a lot of good data.

yes, I edited my original post so it is clear that my comments were sarcastic.

Looks like my sarcasm didn't make it through.

Tesla sales again fall short of production https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/02/investing/tesla-sales/index.html But it does mean that over the last 12 months Tesla has produced 78,000 more cars than it has sold, suggesting that talk of strong demand by Tesla executives may not be backed up by the...

On my first ever attempt at an elected position I won with 55% of the vote. Oh god what have I gotten myself into. ;)

$2.4-2.6M installed... been looking at them and hoping to work on getting grants to install in areas to support critical infrastructure... and to clean up our crappy power.

No Tesla installers in my area, still considering going off grid but decided to try to move the COOP into a direction where it is better for the community first.

No problem it was an interesting discussion and I am expecting dealing with the solar installations to be one of the more difficult things. Silly contracts with the power supplier, and an already bad reputation with the localish installers.

I know politics are generally a no no but due to things happening that pissed me off and not liking the direction things were headed, I am running for a position on the board of our local electric coop. Typically I am the type that is perfectly happy being off to the side playing with my toys...

An update.

The lights on top of the cab are still lit, and in one of the other pictures a side light on the front half is still lit.

Where other than the far front and far rear? Every thing else I see looks like reflections.

Its pretty common here to use a large heavy vehicle to protect all of the squishy people working the accident from someone not paying attention. Its also why at least in one city in my state they have a special truck that has crash mitigation built onto the back of it. Taking a look at the...

180 people died in crashes with emergency vehicles in 2020. There are approximately 6500 crashes involving ambulances each year. Tesla has had 14 total crashes with emergency vehicles. I remember years ago before Tesla was a thing discussing several fatal accidents involving stopped police...

They aren't the only time a Tesla might come across one of those is if its visiting a mine and is actually allowed in the mine area. From my understanding most newer ones are diesel electric like a locomotive though I have heard of one being full electric with the mine up higher than the drop...
