I'm seeing a lot Nissan Leaf's and Tesla Model S on the road

We need as much PV as we can install, not because it makes financial sense, but because it reduces the overall net demand for other forms of generation. It’s a different paradigm: spending money on equipment, rather than fuel.

Nope, we can’t afford it in places that are poor locations (cloudy, too far north, etc). We have very limited funds to do anything, we have to spend them where they’ll do the most good. Putting in PV that costs $1/kw-hr is a bad idea, right?

"Actually JT, Automobile magazine took a Tesla Model S for a day of intensive testing, including quarter mile runs, and one of the things that surprized them was that the battery charge did NOT plummit. "

A meter watched, never moves.

I’m watching a worn mountainbike knobby tire, that is cracked and showing casing…and over pressured…

“…Automobile magazine took a Tesla Model S for a day of intensive testing, including quarter mile runs, and one of the things that surprized them was that the battery charge did NOT plummit.”

I meant the comment for those days when the dirver as to run AC or the heater and sit in traffic for long stretches. I doubt that the Automobile Magazine testers did that given your response.

“I’d “pass” on the C7. And on the GT500. But I’d eagerly take a Tesla. It’s purely a matter of taste.”

I agree. And I was thinking about you when I described the C7. I just had to have a little fun.
