Whether you like 'em or not....they are definitely a wave of the future.
Not sure what I think about the whole idea myself. Still have the rear luggage boot which is nice. It's pretty slick the bolt in rear cradle that holds some of the batteries, Tesla motor, cooling, etc. The "custom" look is pretty bad as to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJTNsH-SIqk |

another tit bit of information for ya.
i was out east in the state (thats in australia) two weeks ago for a bushfire rebuild job. with my structural engineer mate. we went down to the sailing club he is a member of for a few evening ales. interesting guys hang out there. just off shore of 90 mile beach is the big oil and gas fields that got opened up by ESSO in the 60s (thats EXXON). those fields just pump gas these days into a big pipeline that comes inshore in a couple of spots. we were drinking with a guy who is way up the food chain looking after the system. basically the life of those fields will now be determined by the life of the offshore rigs not the field itself. the decision has already been made. he said the rigs are already past their designed lifespan by 20 years and have been given a go ahead to be maintained as best as possible for another 10 then .......lights out. i imagine its the same all around the world. the oil infrastructure is slowly being turned off. its a lot of money to maintain that infrastructure. it got me thinking because once the pipeline gets on shore it just goes everywhere and basically connects into an entire east coast of australia gas network. all that is going to be sacrificed at some point in the next few decades and it seems the implementation of the shut down has commenced. the australian public it seems has not been informed of that. the offshore rigs are still owned by EXXON. or some sub company of them. the australian govt. never had the $ in the first place to develop the fields in the post war years nor would it have the ability to extract further life out of the resource. interesting times. |
