My experience with the Tesla Model 3

[Summitric]

there is quite a bit of normal wear and tear items available aftermarket..... shocks/struts/suspension/steering/brakes/tires etc

It will be 2 to 4 weeks before any parts arrive to fix his car.

Calgary declared a red alert today on its first close to 30 degree day asking people to turn off their AC and don’t plug in your EV till later tonight. We should all buy EVs and break the country.

They better crank up the sun amd wind to meet the demand

Good idea. Make the windmills out of solar panels.

Those fkn thing dont even spin most the time. How are they going to make any reliable power...

Somebody Pay some eco protesters to spin those fawkers.

I got ch!t to charge!

All we need to do is get the eco protesters and politicians out to a windmill farm and give speeches and there will be more than enough hot air to run the windmills

Seriously those things are a waste of money, total joke actually.


Heres an idea, how about we burn.some natural gas. I heard Alberta has a bit...

They are great bird killers though.

The government is paying us to do so.

Just a general question for Johnny or maybe other Tesla and/or other EV owners. Are there any aftermarket parts suppliers or jobber parts per say for these vehicles?or is that market relatively new or early at this time? I’m not an EV owner but just something I was curious about.

There is aftermarket stuff but it’s more geared to racing and performance. Suspension, brakes, body kits, tunes, etc. One thing I’d like to add is metal skid plates to replace the plastic stockers.

They average less than 10% of rated capacity, and the dumb f*cks are building a 1400MW wind facility down by Medicine Hat…… because all the others work so well…… or is it that they can embezzle and move money around so freely through construction and maintenance lies???

Ya those ones I posted are just out side of Medicine hat. They are putting them up all over the place down there.

And how about a 5 year average?

Math lesson for the day. 38.9% > 10%.

 

[lilduke]

I want power all day. Not 38% of the time...

That's probably why the grid has multiple sources of generation.

Good thing or we'd be in the dark. If i were in charge of the grid, id focus on sources that arent intermittent. (The exact opposite of whats happening) Windmills are a useless power source and waste of money in my opinion.

So lets have some really good reliable power production methods make up for the over priced crappy stuff.....makes you wonder why have the crappy stuff at all? Oh right, its "green".

 

[Stg2Suby]

Energy storage infrastructure seems to be the the up and coming solution to the intermittent nature of wind and solar. Battery banks, pumped hydro, etc. So even more added cost and complexity.
