Bo, You could ask for another monitor. I see you have a bit of room on the far left or far right of your desk!

When Ryan has a birthday - you could give him a desk!

Considering the discussion about the battery on the roof of the EV...

Isn't this the same thing I already posted on the EVCast Forum?

Sadly, Tesla has three less employees due to an airplane crash.

Happy 38th B-day Bo!  Gosh!  I can almost remeber back that far...

Sooo, if the plural of the Nissan Leaf is 'Leaves,' does that make Nissan the big Tree and their dealers 'Branches?'  Which would work since most new cars are released in the Fall anyway! (okay- go ahead and groan now- it's late;-)

I used to work for the Post Office as a letter carrier- watch those boneheads who run the Post Office give Zap the whole $2,000,000,000 to build their initial EV fleet- good decision-making is not a strong point there.  Actually, I could see a version of the upcoming Ford Transit do well here- if Obama is serious about promoting EV's, and in particular about doing this via outfitting governmant agencies with EV's, converting the Post Office fleet to all-electric would be the best path to take- their type of driving, as pointed out by y'all, is tailor-made for EV's and Re-gen braking.  Though, I must admit- it would be a bitter pill if my former co-workers get to drive an EV before I do:-(
