RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Toyota. With a highly trained 20 year CHP officer at the wheel.
And this is with a weenie Toyota with what? 150HP? 200HP? Let alone a very high torque electric motor.
I would ask you to talk to him about this but he died along with his whole family after this Toyota "overpowered the brake system."
Want more? I have more but I'm a little busy tonight.Granted it is an unfortunate outcome. Although I did not see the results of the investigation that explained how both the throttle stuck open and the brakes failed. Could be suicide for all I know. Happens although not usually in this fashion.

RE: Maybe the party is over.
What if normal is 300 to 350? Why would you think the peak at 504 is normal?
OK maybe the exuberant party is over but still plenty of good times right now.

So you have been making a huge fuss out of something that not only nobody else cares about but you yourself really don't care about either. Sounds like you just like to hear yourself fuss.+1
You will never hear me squabble about the cost of a new diesel dually.

AVERAGE new car is approaching $37,000.... that is the perspective here.
Is $9,500 preowned?

RE: Best Route from Fresno to Camp Pendleton
The entrance for most activity afaik is at the south end so consider 5-210 across to the 15 or 215 down to the 76.
Check google maps for traffic as you come down the grapevine. Take the route with the least red and black areas. Or let Google navigate you through as I find it is very good with traffic.
If you want to zoom through consider hitting LA about 4am Sunday. Even then watch traffic that will show construction closures.
Are you camping on the base?

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Ben, read what the good doctor has to say about SUA. Remember what I said a few weeks ago and the fan boi's tried to shout me down?Does this defect also disable the brakes?
I challenge ANY vehicle to overpower the brake system. Just name it.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
"When the Model 3 was finally unveiled 10 years later, in March 2016, Tesla promised that it would start at $35,000." Didn't happen. Geeze, are you dense, or just being obtuse on purpose?
IT DID NOT HAPPEN! It was promised to be priced at $35,000 when the model debuted. IT DID NOT HAPPEN! You could not buy one for $35,000 until 3 years later.None of the previous vehicle launches went that way. Always started with a fully optioned founders edition.
I think you had a bit of wishful thinking or a bit naive. Eventually Tesla was to have a starting price of $35,000 NOT start production with the $35,000 model.
Anyway we will just have to disagree on this. The real question is have your ordered yours yet? And sorry for the wait. Has been available about a year now IIRC.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
It doesn't matter that you can now buy them by special order or at the dealership, oops Tesla store. The point was it took 3 years to get them delivered at the originally stated price.Was always the plan to satisfy demand at the top end first. Unfortunately even to top took a year longer than expected to really get moving.
What really disappointed a lot of people was they were incorrectly looking at $35,000 less Federal credit $7,500 and CA rebate $2,500 and were all thinking it would be just $25,000 net cost. This was never realistic. Even a buddy at work had this in mind. I told him immediately to forgetaboutit.
For the naysayers (and you know who you are) it is time to get one of these wonderful low cost machines or quit the bellyaching.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Yes I believe the absolute base model of any vehicle on the lot is actually pretty rare.
So reality is Tesla is about the same as the others on this point.
For all those that said it would NEVER HAPPEN:

RE: Residential Refrigerator – Good or avoid?
I have read posts where 500 watts solar will not keep up with a residential fridge when off grid. May need to go 800+ watts or plan to use a generator at times.
Otherwise everyone seems to brag on how much better the residential fridge functions. In transit is not an issue.

RE: Solar and Charger into one?
That 1972 converter is a door stop. Do yourself and your battery a favor and get a modern multistage converter. Although skip on the WFCO brand.

RE: Alternative stove
Dometic has several "more simple stoves". Messing with adapting a coleman does not sound simple.

Amazon should have a few to look at also.

RE: Dual Fuel Generators
I would go with propane only. Get a large cylinder or two for supply. Propane can be stored forever without issues.
The good thing about a transfer switch would be the subpanel to only have the circuits you need during the emergency. This would be a bit more user friendly to prevent generator overload. Sure you can flip breakers and such with the the lockout but does everyone in the house know what they are doing?
