Well, lets see. Udall has been trying to bring it to the forefront for some time. That speak volumes, in my book, esp. since the neo-cons (not the tea*) have worked hard to prevent him from bringing up anything.

While it is obvious that the new batteries will nearly double the range (li batteries double about every 7-8 years), what about the super charger? No doubt the roadster owner should pay for it (which would also include the electricity), but these the guys that helped make Tesla. Without them, tesla NEVER would have gotten off the ground.

Come on, elon. You can do the super charger.

When you want to prevent treason, the first rule is to have ppl that have a stack in the success of the nation. In addition, you pay them enough. In addition, when you have a KNOWN path that is easy to break, you switch away from it.
What you will see is that ALL of these companies that got cracked had windows, had outsourced to India, and not a one of these companies were allowed to do retail business in India.

NSA directors had been lying since 2004. BUT, back in 2004, CONgress did not care. They simply allowed it to happen.

and what does any of this have to do with the fact that CONgress/W basically removed the oversight from NSA back in 2004?
Absolutely fucking NOTHING.
Since that time, CONgress has not done their job of oversight, by asking very thin questions and KNOWING that lies were being told.
It is for that reason that Udal and others have been HINTIng that issues were afoot. In fact, Udall had hinted at this before Snowden turned both whistle blower and traitor.

what does that have to do with what CONgress and W did back in 2004?

I am a registered libertarian. While I have issues with O, the fact is, that this was put into place back in 2002 through later timeframe, and the neo-cons of that time removed real oversight of the work.

No, the oversight was scaled way back in 2004.

I am sick of your type. I worked on pat act back in 2004-6. I have posts that griped about you fucking neo-cons that destroy america and never take responsibility for your fucking actions, or the bozos that voted in.

The good news for you is that ACA is now available. You should be able to restore your lithium, and even increase your dosage.

he should be investing into thorium companies as well.

Seriously, they are pulling a sears or radio shack.
The end is near for Kodak.

if so, then thank you. These kinds of actions are needed to force companies to change.
At the same time, we should be suing retailers, along with the CIO and CEOs, that have lost CCs.

the GOP stopped Congressional oversight of NSA back in 2004. They knew that what was going on was illegal.

That says it all. The big screen is NOT a distraction since you avoid multiple dialogs that you have to learn with the small screens. Instead, tesla has most controls on the wheel (pretty normal), and then there is a top bar on the screen in which you can move to a couple of different mappings. Issue solved.
The fact is, that all cars require some amount of learning where buttons are. With Tesla, they are located in 2 easy spots: the wheel and a very large screen.
