The "hands on wheel" is VERY easy to circumvent. A constant torque on
steering wheel. About one pound attached at either 90 deg or 270 deg.

One thing led to this Tesla Model 3 auto sales. Problem is there is still a

I searched long and hard for mention of Tesla in that article. Finally

I offer this anecdote that I deem relevant.
Driving my then new Model S in about 2014, I was visiting some cousins
near Golden/Denver. At the time, the Texas-Colorado SuperCharger route
was up through Wichita; before Trinidad opened. One cousin was a

I'm curious, Willie, when meeting one-on-one with people, did you ever

Hi all,
Would it be possible to hook a small solar panel system to an EV and use the EV
as the battery storage for an off grid solar system? What would be needed to
make that happen? I envision solar panels connected to microinverters wh

How hard would it be to build a battery system that normally supplies

What you described seems to be a net-metered system. You are buying and
selling power to the grid. You produced say 10,000 kWh and you bought
10,000 kWh. For a NET energy payment to the utility of zero. The goal of
any home solar system.

It depends where you live. The house a used to live in was rural. Power went
