I think this is a GREAT idea! Please let us know when you spawn a new thread to discuss it.

Yep. I've been using them for years: Where are you in Houston? I went to high school at Dulles in Stafford.

Yep. I was scratching the posting out from my phone and didn't/couldn't be too wordy. I've been making this drive since 2011, I definitely understand that the GOM is wrong - every time. Lately I have been having to drive in the right lane up 17, to take it easy, and it's killing me! My...

I took it in for the 60k, but the brakes were doing a different kind of grabbing than before MUCH worse at low speed and kind of a shudder at speed (felt like warped rotors to me). I've been having to get creative as my pack got weaker and charge to more than 80% (especially in the cold)...

Of course Zack, I mean that in the nicest way possible...

Not sure is congratulations is the right word... :-/ The parts department originally told Nick that it was $6900 without the labor! I told him that I had heard it was $6500 installed. He went away and came back with $6400... I wonder what he would have come back with if I had said $6000...

Maybe you're nuts? :lol:

Thank you. I'll ask for that... They quoted me $6400 (and I needed new front rotor and resurfaced rears), so they kept it and will do it all in one go. I got a 2013 loaner with 16,000 miles (& 92% SOH). No nav, so I don't have all the screens to look at. I also spent a while figuring out...

What is the registration IC card? I haven't heard of that. I'm still fantasizing about buying a crashed leaf and scavenging the battery from it and using it to boost up the capacity of my solar system battery (currently at 10 kWh). I would have loved to keep my "dead" pack for that...

I'm at the dealer getting my 60,000 mile "checkup". I have only lost 2 bars so they won't give me a new battery. Since my commute (home) is 34 miles and 2000' of climb up the mountain, If I charge to 100%, I have 9 miles (or so) left on the GOM. So I am definitely thinking about replacing the...

Yep, or this: http://www.trexgenerators.com/pdfs/wincogen_catalog_2013.pdf (all made in Minnesota).

If you are talking about attaching it to a truck, there are generators that attach to the power take-off (PTO) on the transmission of larger diesel rigs. I would think that a tow-truck sized truck would have a PTO. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your application. The big truck engines can easily...

Yay! You are awesome.

+1 more on your awesomeness Turbo3 I can't wait for these features to hit production, and I agree that ticking for hydraulic brake operation would be a great training tool.

I've also noticed the regen drop from 30 kW to less than 10 after going through some potholes. The only way to get it back was to get completely off the brake pedal and then back on it. It came back to it's pre-pothole level of regen.
