IMO, Tesla should not be marketing the features as Full Self Driving. It is false advertising and causes problems since these cars don’t full self drive. Not even close. It is an expensive science project where you get to pay $12k to be a beta tester.

You stated panels lose 30% efficiency at 70*F, they simply don't. The efficiency is rated at 77*F, lower temperatures mean greater efficiency. With a power coefficient -.4% and 70*F = 21*C, that's a 1.6% gain in efficiency. Panels still work just fine at 35*C/95*F, that would be a 4% loss from the efficiency rating using the same -.4% power coefficient. If you are actually trying to do the math, I think you are off a couple decimal places. Here is my July results, I live in the southeast, it's been 90*F+ all month. Home is ~3k sq ft kept at 72*F all the time. |

That's what I'm getting at. People will also have issues with something but later down the line they will buy into whatever it was that they were against. Did you know that there were people against the light bulb and also cars? They said cars would never replace the house. But look at what we have 100s of years later that the World depends on. |

Combining both of your responses in a single post would have been better for "effeincy". Because that's totally a word that an expert on solar panels knows.

Vigilante I love my cell phone but trying to write fast while at work can be challenging. I was a Bell Atlantic/Verizon land line technician in the late 90's early 2000's .I was pro cell phone then and we actually had laid out the infrastructure for cell phone adoption before we released the technology. Very different than the government mandating EV when the infrastructure is not there Slippy let's agree to disagree. Let's say your right with 77° you have nothing better than to troll because of 7°?
Everyone is missing the point since the start of the forum that we do not have the infrastructure for mass adoption of EV. Coal and gas power plants are the main source of power and solar/wind turbines are secondary at best. The Government has there own agenda for pushing EV and it is definitely not to help the masses. Politicians do not care about you or your Family. Keyboard tough guys can mock me for my spelling,trollers can troll I don't care the bottom line is we are not ready for EV Mass adoption. I'm out of this thread. |

It’s not trolling to correct blatant falsehoods. You are making up #s to support a claim. It is absolutely baffling that someone will form such strong opinions when they have a fundamental misunderstanding of something.

Based on this article, the Dodge Charger/Challenger will be BEV. Other other articles were supposedly rumor.

This is the biggest CLICKBAIT article ever. There is no 4 door Camaro planned.
As for EV in general... it's not going anywhere so might as well get used to it. ICE cars aren't going anywhere either so at some point (consumer driven) we will arrive at a mixed balance. EV will land as a decent daily commuting car when it comes home every day for charge and ICE for everything else as we have it now. |

Keep in mind its ADAS, Automated Driver ASSIST System. In most of theses cases, the driver is NOT paying attention. Recently drove an Escalade for 3,000 miles. Did a few goofy things but for the most part if your eyes divert from straight ahead for more than a few seconds you get an alert a few more seconds and it shuts down. Tesla? Well not admitting to how I know but there is basically porn with people in Teslas driving down the road. Tesla until recently did not use any camera to ensure the driver was looking at the road. And having the steering wheel which inductive sensing rather than torque sensing would be the next improvement. The best Darwin winners were the two killed in a Tesla while the auto pilot was engaged. One was in the passenger seat with the other in the back seat. To fake out a Tesla you only need to have weight on the steering wheel that confirms your hands on the wheel and the seat belt buckled which ensures there is a driver (but not a seat sensor). They have a camera but didn’t use it for “privacy” concerns. If you abuse the 400 plus HP in yourCamaro and get in accident and kill someone the extension of your thinking is the powertrain engineers, marketers should all go to jail. I can assure you that Adaptive Cruise, Lane Keep Assist and Pedestrian Detection absolutely save lives (and your insurance company $). But driver ignorance and misunderstanding o& the technology is leading to issues that you outline.

All this hands-free driving is absolute garbage.
No matter how it's presented, it is fraught with danger, selfish profit motive, video-game mentality and unsafe. I hope Congress will at some point ban it completely. Hiding behind "oh, they just didn't use it right" doesn't rationalize the simple fact that it should never have been considered to be in any automobile in the first place and is a completely unnecessary gimmick that has taken innocent life. Sleep well. |
