Why are you attacking me and not my ideas? I am someone who worked as a supplier and know the rigors of their quality programs while delivering products with better than 5 ppm failures into the market. Show me a company that is doing better for repairability and longevity than apple.

I too had an apple laptop that cost $300 for repairs of the battery (glued in), but after talking with the technician that was a single year “feature” and they knew it was a mistake. I don’t think that Apple is any worse than the others for repair ability. I agree with your sentiment of WANTING repairability, but if…

Apple’s financial problem is that they make phones that last longer than the carrier contracts now and the latest technology isn’t compelling to buy new. That is actually lengthening the average age of iPhones - which means less repairs over time. I actually DID get the batter replace/upgraded so I am not experiencing…

looks familiar.

Then there are those people who intentionally throw trash in the recycling to contaminate the lot.  One person per truck load is all it takes to loose the whole load.

Have you priced diesel generator installations? A power wall functions nearly identically for “short” periods and the costs are only slightly less than a powerwall installation. Non-standard or uncommon services are going to be expensive. But when compared to other non-traditional power sources, it isn’t much more…

This is why Tesla also sells the power wall so you can store during the day and charge or resell it back at night.

The dash gauge style indicate ‘65. ‘66 got the GT 5 cluster gauges.

It is starting to look that French minivan with the lights at the base of the A-pillars with the low wide shape in the front.

Hopefully, with ludicrous mode. Finally, with Porsche and Jaguar joining this second generation of cars with electric propulsion, we are getting a used electric car market that might get some respect and not cluttered with 60 mile/charge Leafs and Volts and go-cart i3s. However, technology is moving to fast for…

Decapitation. The best way to go.

If they are difficult, then they will be motorized.  The people will get what the people want.

First, this guys actions are reprehensible. But, we live in a country where we are responsible for our own actions (or should be). What you ask for is condemnation of others based on this guys action. We had a revolution from a king to establish individual liberty. With that, we sons are allowed to be free from the…

Really, really dislike the vertical slats and brake light on the engine lid. Everything, and I mean everything (even the digital dash) is near perfect.

As much as I have tried to understand, I have never gotten the warm fuzzies with breaking and accelerating.  Why does Gas+brakes=better driving?  Is it specific to ralley, or low traction driving?  Can you use it on asphalt driving?

Exactly, but it is even worse than suggested. These dB are measuring dBSPL with which is a ratio of pressures as an input.

Driving though Joshua Tree NP.

This is your quote. It was not said anywhere on that link. 

Just stop doing math now... This is wrong.

Most cars now auto-stop-start so this is a technical non-issue. The question is if the higher power demand of the extra police equipment will allow the engine to shut down during idle.
