Only Tesla would call this driving mode "Insane"... :2thumbs:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Range..re-fuel..!!
They are amazing...but till they become more than a city car not interested. If you run out of charge what does AAA do..?? Tow you home cause there is no quick charge to get you home. Trips will require layovers every 200 miles...(on a Tesla):roflblack::roflblack: they will get there but then there is still the hydrogen cars they have not unleashed yet....:dontknow: my spyder and I will have ryden off into the sunset by then butwhat a ryde..!! :yes::yes:

My 1973 vintage GE Elec-Trak E10m lawn tractor powered by six 6 volt deep cycle batteries can do the same thing, well sorta. Okay, maybe not. But it is fairly quiet.
And last summer I pulled my neighbor's 60" cut ZTR Grasshopper out of a ditch.
And many years ago in a tug-of-war, I drug a 14 HP Cub Cadet backwards up a hill on blacktop. That smart as kid never made fun of my electric tractor again.

Uhhhhhh, steam plants, nuclear plants, solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric generators - same places we get it from today. If your point is that we will have to increase the electrical capacity on a national scale, I certainly agree.
For the Tesla you mean?
As you all know I am an expert in this field and the answer to your question is
obvious. A very, very long extension cord.....:joke:
Seriously, battery technology is on the move and I believe the the power cells on the Tesla
are Lithium based.

i have a customer who recently got rid of his lotus & picked up the tesla. he loves his new car, sells the
acceleration is better then a ferrari or new vette. as for charging the car tesla has charging stations that can
be used for free & you can find on the tesla gps.
the best feature that he told me is upgrade on the car are downloaded into it for free & it is virtually maintenance
free.

Even here on the Left Coast, where there are charging stations all the way up I5 (Mexico to Canada), electric cars - even the Tesla is useless for most of us as a daily driver. You couldn't even use it to drive down and watch the Ducks play (assuming you wanted to)....
Up here, if you live in Portland, you probably don't have a place to park, and if you live outside of the city, your commute pushes the limits of most EVs.
The real future lies with the fuel cells. Ultra clean, uses the most prevalent fuel in the universe, and gives performance of a IC vehicle.

You are correct - Lithium-ion.
Tesla is currently building a Battery Plant near Las Vegas that will be the largest in the world and should insure their supply and cut costs as their supplier cannot produce the numbers that Tesla needs and the packs run arould $40,000.
I was told that they are releasing an SUV later this year and already have pre orders for over 300,000.

:lecturef_smilie: They're supposed to be releasing a model that has almost a 400 mile range...

So you COULD drive from Portland to Eugene on one charge. Assuming they retain the 4 hr "fast charge" time, and a 400 mile range, it would only take an additional 16 hours to drive from Seattle to San Francisco.......
