Did your power company give you a special rate? People at Tesla have told me that some companies will give you a discounted rate for going electric.

My pops has a Tesla - he gets a healthy tax return, can use any HOV lane at any time (except 66 in NOVA for some reason). He doesn't get a 'discount' per say from the power company, but he can set up the software in the car to charge during 'off hours' when the electric company charges a lower rate per watt. So, any electricity used during the daytime is charged at X$/Watt. Anything used from 10pm - 6am (or whatever time period BGE has determined) is billed at Y$/Watt - where Y <<< X. He says his electric bills might've fluctuated a couple dollars, but it's been so minimal he hasn't noticed.

My "Sometimes?" comment was that he goes E-W and backwards way too much. I am agreeing with you. I just wanted to point out that he has great hands for the PR position.

Damn, that's two Hokies named Eric who passed away last weekend. Eric Grant aka vt1fan, or the crazy Hokie who won on Wheel of Fortune a few years ago, died in his sleep in Shreveport after the Independence Bowl. If you've been to the Hokie House in the last decade you heard him, even if you didn't know who he was.

You'd be hard pressed to find two bigger VT fans anywhere. Way too soon for both. RIP.

Damn, I was an avid viewer of his highlight videos for years. RIP man, that's sad to hear, I had no idea about any of that stuff.

As it's my only car, I also needed something a little bit bigger than a Prius. Which also meant I had to limit my options to hybrids with fold-down back seats. Which pretty much left Fusion alone. But again, there will be tons more options in the future. I'm hearing the new Accord hybrid is getting pretty close to its epa estimates (I think 47 MPG), which, while not quite up to Prius levels, is a really good number.

Good call on the lease, which is something I almost never say. Electric vehicles are really the exception, for me, because of how fast the technology is going to advance by the time that your lease is up.

Thanks for the info. I particularly don't care about how I look in a car nowadays haha, so I don't mind getting a Prius (or whatever is cheapest in the future). I'd rather buy a hybrid / electric without financing and then save a bunch hopefully on gas!

So Rey is like a true freshman 5-star Jedi recruit with a high ceiling, whereas Luke was a high 3 low 4 star but has the experience of a five year senior?

But did Luke come from Delray Beach, Florida? If so, that make sense because the star ratings don't tend to matter for recruits from that area.

They played well, but they dodged a few bullets with penalties and injuries to the backs. Also, Baker did carve them up in the first half before he had to throw on every single play.
