    Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla

    I have a One RS, and have used it, but it's not mounted all the time. Do you have it permanently mounted? Powered? I'd love to see your mount. I used this for a first ride video. I had it up higher when riding. I had it out of the way here to get LED turn signals programmed.

    Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla

    A great point. I typically pack around bikes, but it depends on what is going of course and how many people. But here's an example of me using a rack for a medium bike, and while not ideal, it wasn't totally horrible. I used a wild amount of energy. Towing with a sedan is not a good...

    Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla

    I've kicked this around as an option. I'm not sure I'd be happy doing 500 miles with it. (Bought the bike in San Diego, towed to Los Angeles, rode, then towed to Phoenix.) I bet that with the windscreen off and the bike wrapped in plastic, it would do little to the Tesla range. I would...

    Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla

    Meh. The difference between stupid and an adventure is whether you made it. So there we were, towing a CR500 with a Jeep because it wouldn't start, when it suddenly fired up....

    Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla

    Well, when the car was at 1%, I was thinking about how I could hang the back wheel off the trailer and run a string from the throttle to my window... There's certainly no reason you couldn't tow the bike and regen charge it.

    Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla

    LOL, yeah, I forgot that. But unfortunately, it is never possible in Buckeye, and that's a 100% required stop for me going to CA with a trailer. There's no way to make it from Quartzsite to the Glendale charger with a trailer. And Buckeye is always heavily used so I can't park sideways, and...

    Things they don't tell you about owning an EV.

    Instructions unclear. Penis now stuck in gas can. Send help.

    Things they don't tell you about owning an EV.

    There was a discussion on another forum I use, started by one of the typical anti-EV nutters, titled something like "Another disadvantage for EVs." So I merged things from here and my own thoughts to reply with this. The title was "another downside," apparently assuming that there are a bunch...

    Things they don't tell you about owning an EV.

    I'll give you an important tip, leaving a pack of them in a hot frunk for a while will give you that familiar texture and the zing of early botulism.

    Insane homeless dude attacks my fully self-driving Waymo taxi

    I had meant to post the map of the limited areas they run in, here it is.

    Insane homeless dude attacks my fully self-driving Waymo taxi

    Human drivers, when sufficiently threatened, would drive out of the situation. This car presumably would not. If that guy smashed a window in my own car, I'd run his ass over to get away. If he smashed the Waymo window, most I could do is get out of the other side.

    Don't look a gift Elon in the rocket hole.

    Insane homeless dude attacks my fully self-driving Waymo taxi

    That’s actually answered in the video. The car gives instructions, and you can get a person on a call any time. There’s also a direct 911 button. You can open the doors any time.

    Metal Sculpture of Elon

    At a monstrous environmental cost. Just TRANSACTING--not mining--one Bitcoin consumes as much energy as mining the equivalent value in gold. And at least gold has real uses, a BTC is just burnt energy and a hotter planet.

    Insane homeless dude attacks my fully self-driving Waymo taxi

    Yeah, and as several of my friends pointed out, there's no escape from a mob, a person with a weapon, etc. You are trapped. I *assume* but don't fully know, that I couldn't jump in the driver's seat and take over. I don't go into the Phoenix ghetto unarmed, so another question is who is...

    Insane homeless dude attacks my fully self-driving Waymo taxi

    These cars have a ridiculously huge array of sensors which Teslas don't have. And they run in a VERY VERY limited space that has been hypermapped in 3D down to centimeters of detail. These cars cannot function outside of their areas. Just North of downtown, and in part of Tempe. And yeah, I...

    Insane homeless dude attacks my fully self-driving Waymo taxi

    Someone said I sounded stressed out in this video, but I assure you, I was laughing more than anything. And excited to get to report a car bug. I was very disappointed that the customer service person is only there for safety, and didn't care one bit about the car problem. I'm in tech, and...

    Anti-EV idiocy

    Oh, never considered that Plugshare would have crowdsourced recommendations. Yelp for charging.
