I have that printer as well and love it. I print shipping labels with it all the time and it works great. I don’t have apple devices so I don’t know about that, but I’ve had the problem with printing while it’s in sleep. I moved it closer to my router and that seemed to have fixed it.

Holy crap you forgot to mention the MAIN reason: compound interest vs simple interest! an auto loan is typically simple interest. A 2nd mortgage is compound interest.

turn on an ICE vehicle in a closed garage and see how long you last vs an EV.

I’m going to ignore the passive-aggressive insult and say, that’s a good point. If I was a dealer I would not welcome the OEM to compete with me. But if Tesla does continue to grow outside of this dealership network just by people buying cars online, it’s going to damage the dealership business in the long term. Maybe…

did not know that, thanks for the info! Maybe they can not renew contracts with the dealerships as they expire? That way, slowly replacing them?

Wasn’t the point of this bill to change that? If this bill passed, couldn’t GM just open it’s own showrooms as well, slowly replacing its dealership network? If there’s a problem, it should be changed.

I work in Detroit as an engineer for the auto industry, and I can tell you, many people here are worried about Tesla after the Model 3 preorder insanity. But more than that, people are extremely worried about all the autonomous vehicle development that’s going on in CA, since that cuts into the ICE vehicle market as…

You forgot to mention Tesla also have a plan for public transport @ the 20:00 min mark.

The charge rate has to be limited in winter depending on the chemistry of the cells. I don’t know if chargers do that though, if not, smarter chargers are needed so the battery can tell the charger to current limit in low temps.

“Progress ain’t easy.”

I haven't commented in months, but that made me laugh enough to do it today :)

Eexactly. They should make it a percentage of the gas price as well, instead of a fixed amount that needs to be changed every 20 years or so.

As we've said before, parents, just buy the damn minivan. You probably think you're too cool to drive a minivan, but you're wrong.

I used to work for a lithium ion battery manufacturer, and we used laser welding. I'm not a mechanical engineer, but I think the heat stays fairly localized when they are welded. Remember, you want to have the least resistance between cells, and welding will help ensure that.

the cells are welded together. once you break the weld, its been compromised significantly.

You forgot to mention the cost of ownership goes down dramatically once you own the car outright, and it will keep going down for as long as you keep the car. So if you buy new, and finance it for 5 years, then keep it for another 5-8 years, your cost of ownership is very low. Maybe not as low as a used car, but you…

This is what I tell other parents all the time. The notion that your life is over by buying a minivan is stupid. Guess what, your a parent now! Get over yourself! A minivan makes life so much easier, you have so much storage space and automatic sliding doors are the best. The seats also much more comfy to sit in.

I confuse the Ford Taurus with Model S all the time.

Time for a caption contest!

You have anger issues.
