I like this idea... Have nearly been hit a few times while doing a legal U-turn because the other driver assumed I would just be turning left instead of making a U-turn. Having a standard of a double blink might have helped... but some drivers will still be clue-less.

I've been able to easily and repeatedly reproduce this too with factory firmware and the car in "D" mode. When it happens, pressing the power pedal further toward the floor does nothing -- because the power is maxed out already. Releasing the power pedal returns the pedal to "normal"...

Great vantage point and photo. Thanks for posing, Randy!

Walter, great seeing you today, and you did a terrific job with 10 News! I loved the fact that the Plug-In Day piece was immediately followed by a report about higher gas prices!!! :mrgreen: :twisted:

Congratulations! Ain't it a great feeling?! :mrgreen:

I see many in SoCal too and recently thought about how rare hybrids used to be. Remember when hybrids were an oddity? Now all-electric cars and plug-in hybrids are arriving, and their numbers will grow too. Plus, when the next cycle of high gas prices (or a major oil shock) hits, people will...

Tony, thanks again for putting the event together -- including the quiz & goodies! The Automobile Museum was a great venue. It was great meeting everyone! See you next time around...

Very helpful, Tony. Thanks!

Nuclear power may need to be a part of the CO2 solution; however, safety standards and designs of any new plants built need to be upgraded to the "walk-away" level of safety. This means the plant's entire staff could literally walk away (or if they were incapacitated) during an emergency...

I just learned about The Climate Reality Project yesterday. This is a very informative and a helpful resource to all who prefer reality when it comes to the CO2 challenges we face -- and can solve. The polluters have been funding FUD campaigns against the science of climate change -- much like...

Sounds great! I'll try to make it.

I applaud San Antonio's solar farm! Cost and ROI calculations for various traditional power sources often miss the actual total cost of energy. These include: health care costs (created by pollutants, think smog, mercury emissions, radiological contamination, pipeline explosions, etc.)...

Looks like my Leaf is missing this part too. Anyone hear of a solution from Nissan yet? Maybe we should design some James Bond / Q style modular devices that snap into that spot... Hmmm maybe a flame thrower or nail dispersal system for Hummers? :mrgreen: :twisted:
