How might a purpose-built electric car garage be different from a conventional kind? Besides the charger, I mean.
With the lack of combustibles and exhaust, could someone conceivably be so proud of their Tesla that they could park it "inside" the house right next to the pool table, or is it still so messy or potentially dangerous that you’d want it in a separate structure on a concrete pad?
(And by "dangerous" I mean above and beyond having to give a courtesy toot of the horn before driving it into the rec room…)

Electric Car Garage: It does make it harder to commit suicide using carbon monoxide of course… Steve, have you looked into the required licensing for putting a pebble-bed reactor in the house? I mean, if you are going to reduce your carbon footprint by going green, go GREEN.
(Hmmm… I have a carbonfiber rocket that I’m building which might leave a large "carbon footprint" if I mess up any of the recovery systems. 🙂

Steve – Yes, we’ve got a dialectric strip on each fin as an antennae.
So… if this is the garage, where do you build rockets with your son?

I think the big issue with parking inside would be battery safety. I understand that batteries are alot safer these days, but, still, I had a cordless grinder melt last week.
Also, the batteries might have a cooling system to control temps during charging, and they could be noisy.This is speculation, I’ve never actually seen a Tesla car in the flesh.
Tesla coil on the other hand…

ooh, those tires are looking rather bald. is the roof carbon fiber? So does the CHP frame get you out of tickets?
-
whoa – good eye. Yeah, the tires are the most expensive consumable in a high-performance EV, much more than fuel costs. And it’s just the rear tires, a sign of frequent acceleration. =)
Yes, the car body is carbon fiber, and the roof is unpainted so you can see the weave.
On the license plate frame, you can never be sure, but there was one encounter where it sure seemed so. It involved a lot of Q&A about the charity.

With so much of the road tax coming from gasoline, I wonder where the tax money will come from once these kind of cars are mainstream. Will the government finally tax sunshine? ;^)

P.S. The Mercury News just picked up the story about how I came to get the first car… The model S-1… and for those who did not know the double meaning, Form S-1 is the one you file with the SEC for an IPO…. =)

funny, i spent the last couple of months driving around california wondering what the 11-99 foundation frames meant. i never got around to looking it up until i can across this photo again.
