Someone tried it.

Excellent. Because the only thing standing between society and the Green revolution is the lack of a good perpetual motion machine.


He just needs to add a windmill on the top, and solar panels in front of the headlights.
But this is obviously a plot by Big oil to suppress the perpetual motion machine. The genius in the picture has probably found himself a pair of cement shoes already to keep this from getting out.

Without nuclear power there is no way for Canada to meet the impossible goals, and even with more power generated our electrical grid cannot handle the extra millions of electric cars and trucks. It won’t be long before Trudope and the tree huggers will have us driving Flintstone cars.

nope , i asked that a while ago
apparently , that would be like perpetual motion , not possible
i can't wrap my head around it either , seems like you could charge as you drive
there is some braking that adds to charge
fascinating stuff , way over my head

Dynamic braking done on locomotives done by turning the field backwards. Thinks it requires electricity but same sort of concept in a sense.

Dynamic braking , thats what i was trying to say , lol

Very generous offer, I hope some are able to take you up on it.

Perhaps now Chuck will reciprocate and offer tours of his imaginary solar panels.

Perhaps A5 can offer tours of his imaginary Libertarianism?

I already posted photos of my solar panels many moons ago. But whats the point. You probably think the ones in Alberta providing some of your electricity are fake too!

Great offer A4.

One of the downsides of owning a Tesla in provinces where there are no or few dealers (stores) what happens when you need service or dealer support. How is that handled for far flung customers? Or is t much of an issue?

I will assume that is a no then?
We will just have to rely on Caseih who has confirmed that there are no panels in your yard.

Really good. Will go from -30 to +28 in about 10-15minutes controlled from your phone. At full blast the heater does use a lot of juice so I only use the highest setting to melt all the ice before a drive and then just switch it down when I get in.

If it's a big job you'd probably have to take it into a service center (Vancouver, Kelowna (not open yet), Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon) but for the small stuff they use mobile service where someone will come out to you. Having service that is far away is probably the worst part of owning a Tesla imo.

So preheating the cabin, defrosting the windows etc before you depart in the winter should be much more energy efficient than ice. Stairs no such thing as running the engine to warm up the engine and powertrain and cabin. No need for block heater.
Although I believe I read somewhere that keeping the batteries heated in the winter time helps a lot with range, so there is a trade off there.

Have you ever been in or around an older roadster with the Lotus body?

Do they have collector car value?

For AF5 or anybody who wishes to comment.
