You’d be cutting it close, in my experience. We have a 2015 Leaf with ~90miles of range in the warmer months, and that drops to about 65-70miles in the winter, so the typical 20% range loss in the cold is very real.

...to push his employees further than they think they can go and some amazing things have been created with that ethos.

Indeed! I have have a Prusa i3 MK2 as well, btw. :)

False. I had a black WRX, and it was impossible to keep looking even semi-decent. I gave up and kept it permanently encrusted in a layer protective dirt.

Eh, don’t expect to need it every day, but mine has saved me quite a few times fixing broken things, so they’re handy to have around.

Yep! I reverse engineered some broken trim clips for an E30 convertible that were impossible to find online. Printed some new nylon ones, and it’s good as new.

Ah, but read the EPA rules more closely: OBDII is required for “light-duty vehicles and trucks below 8,500 pounds GVWR w/gasoline or w/diesel engines). Teslas have neither of those. There could be other rules, but based off the link you posted, any pure EV would be excluded from the requirement.

Native Oregonian here. Lived here my entire life. A few things to clarify:

Yeah, I have yet to “drive” any car that even comes close to the current capabilities of AutoPilot (which is still only semi-autonomous). I recently drove a Model X almost entirely on AutoPilot on a 60 mile trip that included two-lane rural roads, 4 lane freeways, and some twisty mountain roads. It handled all of them…

I haven’t driven a Model 3, but I have driven a Model S and a Model X, and I can say that the Tesla touchscreens become second nature after just a few minutes behind the wheel. I generally hate touch-centric interfaces in cars as well, but Tesla has elevated touch screens to the point where they really aren’t…

I’m sorry, but nobody is going to add a crappy aftermarket $20 OBD HUD kit to a $50k car.

The base version has a metal roof, so the Premium package adds a tinted glass roof, in addition to a bunch of other stuff.

“Space is hard.”

Man-made forest fires are not part of the natural ecology.

Because the vast majority of Americans don’t have $70k+ to spend on a Tesla, and the Model 3 isn’t really released yet. I have a Model 3 reservation, but still no sign of being able to order one yet.

Yeah, it’s too bad. As an EV, the Bolt is in a class of its own for now, but as a car, there’s a lot of very good competition at that price point. That’s why I think Nissan was smart to limit the battery capacity on the 2018 to 150miles, keeping the price point low. Plus, it’s legitimately a nice place to be inside.

I know. Like I said, I have a Leaf, and use Plugshare all the time. For me, I know the limits of the Leaf, and use my Subaru for every trip outside of those limits (which is actually pretty infrequent), but there’s no way I could realistically roadtrip in a Leaf, for example. Yes, it’s technically possible, but even…

I completely agree.

Yes, I get that, but a Leaf’s range isn’t going to be useful outside of major cities. I should know, I have one.

Calm down, Ryan.
