Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla
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.- SwampNut

Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla
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...- SwampNut

Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla
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... -
Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla
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.... -
Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla
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. -
Towing my new Zero electric bike with the Tesla
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... -
Why Do Teslas Keep Smashing Emergency Vehicles? (Warning: Graphic images in article)
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. -
Why Do Teslas Keep Smashing Emergency Vehicles? (Warning: Graphic images in article)
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. -
Why Do Teslas Keep Smashing Emergency Vehicles? (Warning: Graphic images in article)
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...
