Found all I have to do is run two DC wires from battery room to 10k inverter to hookup Tesla 3K batteries. Looking at 5 ea. - 3kwh storage batteries in Battery room (Machine Shop, got wall space), around $15k.

Hay, got a Drone, DJI Phantom 3 Professional.
Below is not my 4k video.

Hi Vern,
I think one of the reasons fossil fuel is so cheap is the low cost of PV today. It's really getting down there.
I was thinking of the Tesla batteries now that my L/A batts are not holding their full charge but I think I'll wait for prices to drop. Does Tesla have his new battery plant up yet?

Isn't Tesla supposed to come out with a ~35k cost car sometime soon? If you want to crack up go to Youtube and check the guys taking the P85D Tesla to the track. It does the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds and 0 to 60 in 3.2 from Motor Trend tests. Beats everything even the 750hp Dodge Hell Cat! It's out of my league at 127k cost though, besides I'd get the two wheel drive, goes further on a charge.

I'm wondering about the new Volt, they were supposed to be in full swing by late summer, I wonder if they tried to add too much innovation and changes to the old Volt?

The link you gave doesn't work. Looked it up, definitely cool! We're all still kids at heart!
Best,
Rob
