    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I agree with the door sound. I noticed on ours that the front doors sound more solid than the rears. I will say that the front seats are some of the most comfortable I've sat in. Also, the white interior is almost too bright.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    You can go to a screen in the car that will show your efficiency and it will say things like "If you would have maintained speed below 70mph, you would have saved 0.2%" It also monitors wind speed, elevation changes, etc. I've never taken it down low enough to get any kind of alert.

    I also have a NUC that runs TeslaMate. It provides more info but has went out for 2 long stretches without me catching it so some data is missing. It also didn't pick up when I drove the car from Chicago to Des Moines to pick it up. It's only logged 2,536 out of the 4,400 miles but still...

    A few more screens In this example, I'm going from Johnston, to the CR airport, and back to my final destination of the Grimes Hy-Vee. I didn't put my home destination for security reasons :) I think those Ames ones are brand new and just went online Another good thing about using the...

    Yes, I wouldn't take that risk and just add a few minutes to the charge so that I didn't arrive that low. The other thing you need to is plan out your whole trip. It always assumes you're fine with your destination SOC (state of charge) being low. If I had added the trip home, it would have...

    Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

    I worked at hy-vee in high school, college, and a few years after. I find the self checkout scanners to be identical to the standard ones, so they are pretty easy for me to us. They actually bring back a little nostalgia for me. I can't remember what I ate for breakfast but I know that 4011 is...

    If I was about 20 years younger and not huge, I'd be all over something like this. Looks like it would be a lot of fun. Super73-C1X I wonder how it compares to something like the Honda Grom?

    In the 35+ years of using Super Glue, I've never once not got it on my fingers.

    Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

    On a more positive note, in a few weeks we're heading to Roatan Honduras for the first time. We had been to Isla Mujeres the last 6 or so times we've travelled in January, but we thought we'd try something new.

    I don't hate my job, where I've been for 23 years, but it really has it's moments. Wednesday Morning in the office(mandatory 3 days) at 6am, left work at 3pm, worked on a server issue starting at 8pm that didn't get fixed until 2:30am, and then back at it at 5:30am this morning. Very rare to...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    People say the want small basic cars but they never seem to sell well until they are no longer made. My 89 Y/O mother had two Honda Fits and they were so fun to drive but no one bought them when they were being made. Although when we sold them you'd think we were selling some rare mint Ferrari...

    I'd like to recommend you doing a lot more research before you say more.

    Our Tesla costs about $20/month to charge. They could add a surcharge to your rent "unlimited charging" for $100 and you would be "Sweet, I normally pay $150 for gas, I'm saving money". Bam roasted

    Sounds like it won't work for you. We're you on the list to get one? I know one person on the list and I think they are going for the middle one that is like $80k. When though i don't want one, I can't wait to see one live.
