Just before I ended my chat with the Tesla EV drivers, a white pick-up truck (ice) pulled up in front of the visiting San_Diego Tesla-3 EV (it had vendor/contractor markings like it worked for the city, looking similar to https://s.hdnux.com/photos/71/35/45/15063406/3/1024x1024.jpg ) With the truck driver's his arm stretched out as to point to the Tesla EVs, the truck driver yelled out asking 'You heard about the Tesla police car that couldn't do a high speed chase ... The two EV drivers were take back from responding, but since I had already posted this: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Change-PD-policy2-80SOC-shift-beginning-Tesla-Pursuit-cut-short-tp4695194.html I quickly yelled back, 'I know all about this ... The problem wasn't the Tesla. It was the officers not plugging it in (I wanted to elaborate like, 'You know, you don't go out on a job when you need to fill your truck's tank first' ... but I could see I'd lose his short-attention-span, so I didn't). I did end the answer with a cell phone analogy he likely could have related to. I said, 'There is a way to not have to plug it in.' Pointing to the Tesla-3 EV's hood, 'You can mount a device, so that when you park your car, it charges automatically from underneath, https://www.google.com/search?q=wireless+charging+tesla like the way a phone wirelessly charges. https://www.powermat.com/technology/compatible-phones/ The guy sort of understood that, but his face still wanted to continue the 'EVs don't work' attitude his hate-talk-radio program had spewed. He pulled his arm in, about to leave saying, 'So, they didn't plugin it in' ... (It seemed he got the message that the humans have to do their part). At least this was a better statement (more the truth) than back in the 1990-2000's when automakers were pushing hybrids (hevs) saying 'you never need to plug them in'. The truck driver could have said, 'You still have-to plug them in ...'. After 30 years, perhaps that is a little progress from way back then. IMO, this newsitem was spread too far and wide https://www.google.com/search?q=Fremont+Police+Department+tesla to not be the work of the anti-EV koch-kool-aid machine. https://cleantechnica.com/2019/09/29/fremont-police-department-pushes-back-about-tesla-low-battery-fud/ A push-back news item ... loosely translated says, “Can everyone please calm down?” ... Anyone wanting to suggest to Fremont PD to use wireless charging to offset officers not plugging in, and since it is an 85 to change PD policy to not take it out unless it is 80% charged (80%SOC) can find their pr person contact info on https://www.fremontpolice.org/index.aspx?NID=170 https://www.pluglesspower.com/learn/wireless-ev-charging-works-tesla-model-s/ ... https://www.google.com/search?q=inductive+charging+tesla For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
