Quote HistoryQuoted: Definitely "a", and thus "b". I'll agree to that. We'll get to the stars later.  ... Now... if someone tore time FIRST before "instantaneously" moving the gas from the Jerry can to the gas tank... you could avoid the heat generation. But the energy required to set this up... I figure, it would be better to just use a fraction of, to charge your car! Oh, well that sounds perfectly reasonable then. |

My electric Mustang is sitting in my garage with a 90% charge and ready to go. I could put another 10% in it but it's not good for the battery in the long run. It's called planning in advance. So I'm good for almost 300 miles before I need another charge I was looking at the charging stations and there are plenty of available

Earlier today when I posted it was post landfall and was at about 3 down SC's out of around 30 in Tampa/St Pete area. Tonight, with 1.5million out in FL that number in the same area sits at around 5 SC's down. Again as I posted earlier in the thread my pic only shows 3 down, but that list of SC's scrolls down, hence the 5 out of 30. I think ~25-45% of Tampa is without power right now and the SC network is down 16%. This has a lot to do with many of these being close to trunk lines and they pull straight off of it into conduit to get to the SC station.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 2 watts Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Can they keep the air conditioning on as long or longer than ICE stuck in traffic? Yes Oh? How many watts does the A/C unit pull in a Tesla? Are they more efficient than the DC A/C units in an RV? 2 watts So it takes you 2 watts to roll the windows down? Color me wildly skeptical that it's cooling the air on a 90+ degree day with a measly two watts. In fact, I'd just say outright, that's gotta be a stupid lie by tesla playing tricks. ETA saw the later reply. KW, not W.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You can't immediately transfer gas. See that would require instantaneous mass transfer... which in theory, would tear space-time. So... if you want earth to become a black hole, go ahead. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Considering one with an EV likely charges their car every night, I dunno why they would have a dead EV starting out. Sort of one of the major advantages of an EV, you start out every morning with a full tank. That said, the same way you would with a gas car which has an empty tank. You don't. Can you store 5 gallons of immediately transferable electric in your garage? You can't immediately transfer gas. See that would require instantaneous mass transfer... which in theory, would tear space-time. So... if you want earth to become a black hole, go ahead. I mean ... Some of us ARE legit trying to:
