RE: EV's I know there are folks better versed than me in here
Yes you can find some issues if you go looking for them. You can find even more boring success stories too but they don't make for exciting print.
https://electrek.co/2020/06/30/tesla-model-3-police-cars-faster-roi-police-chief/
One thing I'm not sure of for police use is idle time sitting on the roadside running heat or AC. Either watching traffic, surveillance, or completing paperwork there is a lot of time spent in the vehicle, if the car is driven maybe 50% of the shift, and just sitting with the climate control running, will a single charge cover a full shift?
I'm pretty sure a Tesla can run the AC or heat for a day or two on a charged battery... if just parked.

Some of the new Tesla's can charge at rate of 900 miles per hour with a 250kw charger....charging speeds are going up with some of the new vehicles.

RE: Morryde Suspension and Wet Bolt Upgrade
I've done the upgrade and to reach some of the grease zerts I use these two items...the first one works great and also locks on to the second angled piece for the hard to reach zerts:

RE: Inflated hopes for EV P/U
Has there been a breakthru in solar? I thought the panels needed sunlight?
There you go thinking again... Just drink the koolaid and take the blue pill
The solar helps with the peak loads on a hot day...the nuclear carries the base load at night on the grid where I live.
Either you guys don't want to think...or just like to be argumentative?
With the attitude of some of you guys there would never be any intoviation...ie trial and error...free market...the stuff this country was built on.

RE: Inflated hopes for EV P/U
Also, don't forget we have to keep cranking up those horrible carbon emitting power plants in order to create sufficient electricity to power those wonderful EV machines.
Not always...I live between two Nuclear plants and a 500 acre solar farm.
Also, most people charge at night when the base load on the electrical grid is low. This is why we can support some more EVs to a point with our current capacity.

RE: Inflated hopes for EV P/U
I have my Diesel PU for Towing, the Wife has a gas car and I have an all electric Nissan Leaf now for over a year and put over 11,000 miles on it.
The EV works great as my daily driver and with 200 miles range I can easily take care of my local driving and visits to family/friends and only charge at home. Its fun to drive and sporty. EV's do have limitations as covered here and I don't see them completely replacing Gas/Diesel any time soon. But have an open mind to the new tech...you have to start somewhere!

RE: King pin lock
I have a home storage garage...so I don't use the lock there. But I like to put it on when camping since it is orange and has an orange ribbon. The ribbon helps identify the pin box for safety reasons when walking or driving around it. Also, help keep the dust and grit off the greased pin when camping in a dusty area.

RE: Fiber Optic
you can have fiber direct to a modem in your house that connects to a router...or you can have fiber that goes through a converter outside the house then through traditional coax to a regular cable modem/router inside. I have the latter with Cox and it works great.

RE: killed new Jeep Wrangler by Flat-Towing It in 4-Low !
I would think the insurance would deny any claim. This is pure and simple stupidity on the part of the owner.
Or they simply made a mistake and forgot to put the transfer case in neutral (or whatever the flat tow method is).
Doesn't everyone do something kind of stupid now and then?
And they left it in gear. TWO major mistakes.
Thank you...harsh crowd here..not like someone has never dropped a fifth wheel trailer, turned to sharp with their short bed truck and fifth wheel or put gas in a Diesel...etc

That is why people have insurance.
