Re: [Elecraft] OT: VHF radio in Tesla Model S

Indash hr radio would be nice in a Tesla or any other car. Maybe someone should design a rig that would fit in dash. Just like buying after market stereo! Sure would be nice for install purposes. Maybe a K3I (for in dash). Sent from my iPad > On Oct 7, 2015, at 8:26 AM, Barry

Wes, You left out this part: *Taxpayers currently subsidize the oil industry by as much as $4.8 billion a year*, with about half of that going to the big five oil companies—ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips—which get an average tax break of $3.34 on every barrel of domestic crude

Drifting back to the technicalities of flowing electrons: Nine electric cars operated on the streets of Paris, France between 1835 and 1839. The biggest problem with them was the inefficiency of the electric batteries - likely a variation of Volta cells. The biggest problem with current

From a practical perspective, the "battery with onboard generator" of the Chevrolet Volt is far more practical (and has been around for a very long time as the diesel-electric locomotive). It a real shame that the Volt is out of the price range of ordinary consumers as charge at home with

Attempting to answer the original question, the Model S roof is mostly aluminum, so mag mounts don’t work. Some people have used the roof rack for a mount. Others use trunk lip mounts. The cigarette lighter outlet has a 15A fuse, which might not be enough for some mobile rigs. This Google

Tesla? No,No,No!! Its got to be a Charger like the Dukes used to drive. V-8 hemi. If it gets more than 10 miles to the gallon, it is underpowered. If you don't put more than 5000 miles a year on the thing, you can easily afford the fuel cost. You like electrics? Go to any golf course.
