They remake them because they make money. If people didn't pay to see the remakes, they would stop making them. Games industry is the same way. Do we really need COD 8 (or whatever) and so on? Well, yes apparently because people keep buying them.

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="39" id="3402784"] Glad the battery issue is moot. May I ask what they charge for that unlimited electricity usage? One would obviously pay for the electricity used to charge it overnight at one's home (ignore the solar array - most of us are not net power producers). Do you have the car on a separate meter to track its electricity consumption? Hard for me to get my arms around the notion of the car getting the equivale

Reply to Opinions On Charging in Mobile Tech WinCustomize Forums

Daiwa, that is a very good question. The answer is that Tesla pays for the electricity at supercharging stations for the life of the Model S. However, you must have purchased the supercharging capability in your car (standard in all 85 kwh Model S like mine, optional on 60 kwh versions.) So, essentially you are paying a fixed amount up front to be able to use the superchargers as much as you want, whenever you want for the life of the car. Not for as long as you own it now, for the life of th

Daiwa, if you read my reply above to Jafo you'll see more explanation about the accident. Not only did the Tesla run over something, that something was a curved piece of metal that acted as a lever with so much force it was able to penetrate a 1/4 inch thick steel barrier that encases the battery pack. Imagine the same item penetrating a gas tank! Charging infrastructure is an issue for electric vehicles. More for "city cars" like the Leaf than the 250+ mile range Model S, however

Reply to Opinions On Charging in Mobile Tech WinCustomize Forums

I own a car that is powered by the same cells that are likely to be in your laptop battery. Literally. The best strategy for battery longevity in these cells is to charge to 90% and never fully discharge the cells. They like being in the 20-80% range. Now, given that isn't all that possible, you are better off charging to 100 than fully discharging. My vehicle manufacturer suggests keeping it plugged in when not in use (though the car has a lot of battery management your tablet probably d

LightStar... we got the S85 which is the standard motor with the 85 kWh battery pack (so 265 rated range.) We've taken two middle length trips already (200 mile round trip without charging over a weekend and 500 mile round trip in two days using the super charger network!) The second we could have done with the smaller battery pack, but not the first one (which was headed into the hinterlands where there was no way to charge at all.)

Interesting, but seems to me to be a toy of no real use. If I understand correctly, this is just a pen-shaped mouse you have to poke your screen with. That is not touch control. It is a stylus sure, but really, what benefit is there in using a stylus with a laptop or desktop over a mouse? None that I can see. You don't get multi-touch, etc. Sure, if you need to "write" on your screen it might be more convenient than a mouse (though the angle you are writing on could be troublesome
