Tesla Motors As The 4th U.S. Automaker, And Why The Future Is Bright [View article]
Right on Peter, I have never ever bought from a car trading rag and I prefer to buy new.
Like Julian stated, why in my right mind would I pay $92K for a car with 900 miles in magazine when I could drive less than 15 miles and buy a new one at a Tesla Showroom with like 8 miles on it for $89K - all the options I want including the Gorilla Glass roof - Oh my, I'd have to be insane?!

Well not "stop reacting", but the power output is flexible.
My understanding is that a "modern" nuclear power plant is designed to operate within a certain nominal range, say 60-100% of capacity. Although it is true that once the plant is powered up it functions best at a constant output, it can vary that output, within it's nominal range +-15%. Which makes common sense when you think about it, why run at peak capacity if the load doesn't call for it?
I'm sure someone else will come along and fix my layman's language. But I think I've outlined a pretty accurate understanding.
"There are only four sources of high-quality maps," Google, Waze, Navteq, and TomTom (TMOAF.PK),says Rolfe Winkler, and given Facebook's rumored $1B acquisition of Waze, TomTom may become an attractive takeover target for the likes of Apple (AAPL) and others who, while able to drive a hard bargain on map licensing fees, may prefer to bid for the Netherlands-based company rather than worry that a rival will acquire it. TomTom trades at an EV/EBITDA ratio of just 6x. (From December: Rabobank puts AAPL/TomTom odds at 30%) [View news story]
@DT, ... You know that's a 9/2012 link? You mean Tom Tom is mentioned as a takeover target, eh?

what's the map data in a Tesla Model S, do you know?

nice link imac!
interesting how macrumors - link - comments mirror those on SA some like iOS maps and some like Google. One commenter put it best, "once an app gets labeled as bad, <its hard to shake that image>" ... another suggested that what led to iOS being palatable was the inclusion on Waze data with Tom Tom's. Shoot maybe the real play is Apple buying Waze and Tom Tom.
I agree with Bardin, hands down Waze is the best if you need real time traffic data.
Electric Vehicle Roundup: 1) Chevrolet Volt (GM) sales continue to fluctuate wildly, up 59% Y/Y and 43% M/M in Feb. to easily beat sales on Toyota's (TM) Prius. 2) Look for Ford (F) to include sales numbers on the Fusion Energi as the model hits dealerships this month. 3) Nissan (NSANY.OB) sold 636 Leafs in the U.S., +36.6 Y/Y, flat M/M, just ahead of the unveiling of a new model. 4) In Scotland, politicians issue campaign promises to install an EV charging point every 50 miles. 5) Tesla Motors (TSLA) trades in the mid-$30s post-earnings. On tap: Will revenue cover payments on a DOE loan and production costs or will Elon Musk need to float more stock? [View news story]
Yep, that's what they claim! Check out above for real world commutes and which is on top.

I'm one of the million or so that commute from the upper peninsula (San Francisco) to the South Bay (Mountain View or San Jose) every day.
My roundtrip is 112 miles, hence I said "long" commute!
The Prius plug-in would accomplish this trip at about 72mpge, the C-Max would be in the high 50's.
Your mileage may vary! Check out PriusChat.com to learn how to drive a hybrid with regenerative braking. Check out the reviews, it's pretty common in reviews pitting the top PHEV's head to head for long commutes Prius wins. Between 11-50 miles I would pick the C-Max over the Volt, but only based upon headroom.

Yep, I can say the same for the western states! It's become an unwarranted meme that just won't die, ... iOS maps is fine, and others work too, but I prefer the combo of iOS and Waze (traffic)

@ Tom, not "controlled" rather given seed money, and subsidies, not cash, as in tax credits, to early adopters. But the reality, none of Model S early adopters needed the subs, but Leaf owners and Volt owners and Prius (PHEV owners), there sales IMHO, are mostly to the middle class. All of these "seeds" expire in time and or are one time only, e.g., tax rebates.

That's mighty noble of you Julian to try to convince someone with a serious case of cognitive dissonance, yet alone a bully, to be rational and open-minded. I'm truly impressed. I clicked follow!

Wow, Blue, all I can say is Wow!
When was your meeting with Musk pre-ModelS? You do know they have delivered 10,000 MS in 31 countries right? 4750 just last quarter! You do know Tesla has 18showroom galleries in US alone? You do know that Tesla has power train contracts w Toyota and Daimler, subbed in the RAV4, Smart, and Class B? Oh my, you must know that by the end of this year there will be 85 supercharger stations in the US!

The grid will be expanded, after all utilities are for profit! And solar powered supercharges will only expand or be replicated in various stripes by the big 4, or some other profit making entity.

The ability to tune out my cars AC, noise canceling needs a little work!
Oh, and there appears to be a glitch searching for restaurants outside present location, in another city. Often I want to order out 30 miles from my destination, say on the way home from work, but Siri seems to always do a small circle around present location
