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.

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...

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...

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....

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.

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...

Nope, but does a great job 99% of the time.

They repeated everything was still unknown. No update, just another blathering hit piece.

I had no idea that your claim that nobody has done a study actually meant that there's not a national standard.

It wasn't "my DOT" I was working with multiple DOTs across the country. I don't know the specific results of the testing, just that I was there for presentations on the testing by various DOTs and third party industry organizations. I was involved in video systems for traffic management...

You are completely wrong on that, so now I imagine that everything else you've said is founded on equally incorrect assumptions? Source: I ran a company that worked in DOT safety for a few years, and worked directly with safety engineers.

AP screwed up on me today, and took me off guard. In its defense, it was a weird intersection where the lanes on the far side do not match the lanes on the side I was coming from. It has to do a jog inside the intersection, with no curve or warning in the lines. It tried to go from...

Actually that means it’s infrequent. ICE fires and non Tesla crashes are so common they stopped reporting them.

You can have my steering wheel weight when you pry it from my cold dead fingers (after I crash). It doesn't mean I'm not paying attention, just like having a useless hand on the wheel doesn't mean you are paying attention. I'm also enjoying the battle of wits with Elon. They figured out how...

My bet would be that we find out the driver was drunk, and then of course MSM will stop covering it because it's not a TESLAS BAD story. Aside from that, you'd have to be a complete moron to let AP keep control in any sort of non-normal, well marked situation. I've put over 16k on our car, and...

What are you talking about? Do you believe that car loans and mortgages are not consumer debt? Is there a reason you didn't include the second sentence, which is what I'm talking about? Credit card debt, student loans, auto loans, mortgages, and payday loans are all examples of consumer debt.

Only true if the cost of the debt is close to or exceeds the income potential of the assets, and/or the possibility of needing the asset. I'll have pulled around 8-10% from investments this year and am paying 2.3-4% on debt. I'd be an idiot to convert the income to a payoff.

I do thank them. I didn't know it was a one-sided thing, but certainly a good thing.

Never, and I specifically used the words "if shit really hits the fan." Meaning a real collapse, anarchy, etc. If there's just a mild recession and more inflation, then debt still wins because you pay it back in cheaper fiat currency. There's no downside to debt in recession, and it's...
