weird science

Yeah, that sounds low. My residential doesn't have a demand charge, but we had a "ready-to-serve" / infrastructure charge that is $0.06 per kWh, making my overnight cost a total of $0.13 per kWh, there are some small other fees added on top of that as well.

what is amazing is that is the Model S Plaid which is "only" around 130k. On the other end of the price spectrum, Jay Leno recently had the Rimac Nevara on his youtube channel, a $2M electric car with 1900+ HP and a 1/4 mile time around 8.5s (probably tire traction limited too, so someone will throw some drag radials on it and go even lower) All the other supercar manufacturers are realizing their fancy twin turbo V8s, V12s and V16s are obsolete.

Research on Health Insurance and Skydiving
SethInMI replied to ChemPacker's topic in Speakers Corner
I know supplemental policy providers like AFLAC exclude skydiving / general aviation related incidents, but are there any employer sponsored health care plans that exclude based on the activity that caused the heath care problem? I know smoking is cause for higher premiums, but I don't know of anything else. -
That may have been there older design, or for the Tesla Semi? But the latest design, used in the Model Y and assuming to be used in other designs going forward, has a structural battery pack. The car is basically two large castings front and back, tied together by the battery pack itself (the front seats mount to the top of the battery). It saves a lot of weight and makes manufacturing simpler, but replacing it is a apparently a bitch. https://electrek.co/2022/05/20/tesla-structural-battery-pack-removable/

I hope so. Tesla I am sure will try to fight that, and with their structural pack they may have an advantage, for all I know patents and trade secrets could be on their side. But even if they price drop by an order of magnitude, they will still be expensive to replace.

My Tesla battery has a 10 year 120k mile warranty, so I don't think I have to concern myself with replacement, but I have given the problem some thought in case I do keep it for a while. I think battery replacement will continue to be very expensive for a long time, and hopefully bundling an extended warranty into an Auto policy will be a common thing, as insurance is the best way to handle costly and rare events like battery failure.

the follow up: a tourist fell asleep on a European beach and didn’t realize it was a clothing-optional beach. He woke up, and a older man next to him was asleep, and naked, with a book next to him in the sand., He took the book and put it over the man’s groin, thinking he’d be arrested for public nudity. Instead the young man was arrested, and happened to be tried by the same older man, who said not to cover a judge by his book.

For those unlike Bill who have to pay for the DC fast chargers (Tesla calls them Superchargers) it is on par with gas costs. $0.43 per kWh around me, which is close to $4 per 30 miles hence the on par with gas comparison. My home rate is about 1/4 of that, so excluding long trips I would pay about $1 per 30 miles.

Class A Hasn't Jumped in 15 Years
SethInMI replied to Thomas.foster2@gmail.com's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The normal exception for currency regulations at DZs I have jumped at is the spring season startup, most everyone is un-current, but no one is like "everyone needs to jump with an instructor before anyone else" But of course that is a 6 month layoff, not a 10 year one. -

The grid is strained in the afternoon and early evening, but overnight has capacity. My charger is set to only charge my car between 11pm and 6am when the rates are lowest. That cars need to pull power from the grid doesn't mean they are bad for it, in fact electric cars will eventually be able to help smooth the power grid demands by functioning as a giant distributed power source when they are plugged by discharging their batteries during peak demand.
